Samsung 2443BW - Compatible with my Graphics Card?

paulsmith109 · 2 Dec 2009 at 18:31

I `m thinking of replacing my 19 inch LG1915S (1280 X 1024) with either the Samsung 2433BW or 2443BW. My graphics card is quite old; it`s a Sapphire (ATI) X1650 Pro AGP. Will this card support the Samsungs` native resolution of 1920 x 1200 on DVI? Failing that, will it work OK if I use the VGA/DSUB connection instead and accept the slight loss of image quality?
Many thanks for any help/advice!

it most likely support it , however wether or not it performs well at tasks at that resolution may vary.

it will work with that screen, but like the guy above said, it probably wont run games at that resolution. the loss of quality through using a vga cable will be very small if you use a decent VGA cable, i use a belkin pro series home theater cable it cost 20 quid but its excellent i cannot tell the difference between that and a hdmi cable.

Why spend that money on a VGA cable when you could buy a DVI at half the price with "marginally" better quality?

The monitor should come with DVI & VGA cables the 2433BW i bought last month from OC did.

because my monitor at the time didn't have a DVI input, i wouldn't use VGA for the sake of it..
