Hi guys just a quick one,

Looking at getting my parents sorted out will an LCD monitor to replace the old CRT monster they currently have.

I'm looking at a few 19" widescreens and one in particular can run at 1920 x 1080 which seems ludicrous to me really.

Basically,

1. Will that resolution be a complete waste for the extra few pennies?
2. Can a Radeon 9600 (XL I think?) run that res? (I must stress not for games, but maybe the occasional film)

Also!
3. The contrast ratio is only 1000:1 compared to 7000:1 on other 19" widescreens, how noticable is that? 1000:1 was pretty good in years gone by....

Thanks :)
