New wide screen monitor on a very old computer Printed From: CorrectCraftFan.com Category: General Correct Craft Discussion Forum Name: Off Topic Forum Discription: Anything non-Correct Craft URL: http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31840 Printed Date: January-21-2025 at 7:39pm Topic: New wide screen monitor on a very old computer Posted By: OverMyHead Subject: New wide screen monitor on a very old computer Date Posted: October-20-2013 at 3:21pm the monitor on our very old desk top went out and I found a cheap open box wide screen LED at best buy. Only problem is it stretches everything out (American skiers look about 23 feet long)and leaves about a half inch off the right side of the screen If i put it into the more square viewing option it gets real small. and still leaves about a half inch of non-viewable information on one side so I have to move the image back and forth. the computers video card max resolution is 1024x768 and the monitor calls for 1680x 1250. Would an AGP card get me up to the resolution I need and fix the display issues. the computer is an old pentium 4 sony vio. I know it should be replaced but if I can hold off by buying a used AGP card for $10 I would prefer to. ------------- For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats. 1987 Ski Nautique
