This thread was inspired by the CRT TV thread 
My 30-year-old Beeb monitor was a CUB, then last year, the tripler went bang. That means a blurred image rendering text unreadable. Now I'm looking to hook the Beeb up to my Dell Ultrasharp 16:10. It has VGA, DVI, DisplayPort connections, and I have an HDMI converter if needed. (yeah someone needs shooting for not including HDMI on a 2012 high-end model!) So, what else will I need to get the Beeb going? At 16:10, would the image be stretched to 16:10 or will it show as 4:3 with the letter box effect? Is a native 4:3 TFT preferred? (in which I can get cheap from the pawnbroker's)
P.S. should have added that the Beeb has a UHF-out for TV the so-called RGB 6-pin port for monitors.
Thanks.
