    Its VGA only as on onboard graphics,

    I was going to upgrage the Video board to one with DVI to feed my 40" LCD (Thre Great Aldi Tevion one from about 4 months ago), but found feeding it the VGA signal at 1366 res gave superb results so am not going to bother am sticking to the built in VGA card,

    The machine is being as a media centre, and the built in video will surfice for everything I need the machine to do.

    hope that helps.

  • I am thinking of buying the Aldi special £399.99 PC, which has Vista Home premium.
    I normally have Free programs like:
    Zonealarm
    AVG
    Spybot
    Adaware
    Will the above programs work with Vista? if not are there any Free progs that will do similar job?
    Thanks
  • hi so is the ALDI medion opc confirmed at £399 can anyone actually confirmt his price.

  • and where abouts does it say it includes a 3 year warranty as a few people have quoted that would really seal the deal for me as a £400 pc of this quality for AT LEAST 3 years is impossible to find ANYWHERE else.
