Quick bit of Help - Avoid me making a mistake

Hey there. Hopefully one of you clever types can sort me out in an instant.

I currently have a Hyundai L90D+ 19" monitor. Am hoping to upgrade to 22".

Someone has offered me a brand new Samsung 2243NW for not much cash. As far as I understand, although this is a newish screen, it only has 1 RGB input and no DVI input. If this is correct (is this for office workers on low spec machines?) shall I avoid it and go for something with DVI? or will it make no difference if i get the converter plug?

My system:
Vista Pro
Intel Q6600 @ 3ghz
4GB RAM
ATI Radoen HD 4670

Thanks...

really? didnt realise that. Thought that as the GPU was "HD" it could handle 1900x1200 no probs!

so i shouldnt look forward to running crysis on a 22" screen just yet then? I was going to get the new screen for £50, but perhaps ill just wait a little longer. If I am going to have to go get a new screen, perhaps i will get a new card and a 24"screen when cheap enough!

Crysis is just fine on my GPU. Looks amazing on my 19" and looks great and very playable on my 32" LCD tv @ 1080p. Admittedly the frame rate slows down on the telly when the battle gets really frenetic.

Will save up for a decent 24" @ 1900x1200.
