Hi,
It looks like i need a new monitor as my dell monitor has given up the ghost.
I am looking at getting this monitor :

It says the resolution is 1440 x 900 .My graphics card is a radeon x300 .Will this be ok with this monitor and will i be able to get that resolution ??
Sorry if this question is a bit daft but i have been reading reviews about this monitor and some peoples graphics card are to old to cope with the monitor...thanks in advance .

Take a look at this page from ati about your video card
http://www.ati.com/products/radeonx300/specs.html
near the bottom it shows all the display modes
The monitor will be fine with your graphics card

hi, i have the same monitor, it will work fine, you just might have to put the resolution in manually to get the 1440x900 if its not picked up automatically.
its in the advanced display properly settings.

I've got that monitor with a radeon graphics card and works no problem.

I think any modern monitor is capable of so many different resolutions that you have no real worries about compatability
