H.D. monitor

I am interested in an H.D. monitor.

I found this.

Full HD 1920x1080 2ms HDMI DVI-D VGA Back-lit LED Monitor

What video card resolution would the graphics card or integrated card need to be able to display such a resolution ?

Does anyone have one and can you notice any difference ?

Thanks,
Andy

It will be a multisync monitor.

It supports more than one resolution.

However, the picture is only "sharp as a tack", at 1920x1080 @ 60Hz.

The other choices will be a bit more fuzzy.

You would check the resolution settings on your
(unstated) video card, for such a setting.

Why not give the details of the video card ?
Based on your previous question about reinstalling
WinXP (circa 2002 computer), a guess would
be there is an older video card involved.

The preferred connection would be via DVI-D.

VGA is less preferred. As the resolution choice
rises higher and higher, you see more cable
reflections and distortions in the resulting
image. I am happy with my 1440x900 monitor
over VGA.

Check the box contents for cables. Some really
cheap monitors don't come with all the cables.
Order a cable at the same time you order the
(cable-less) monitor. Just as the printer I
got several years ago, didn't include a USB cable.

More details on DVI and the various connector types, is here.

To understand what the screen is going to look
like, look at the orange rectangle at the bottom of
the group of four rectangles. If you currently use
a 1024x768 monitor, that is a 4:3 ratio. That would
be the top rectangle. Notice how the 16:9 monitor
at the bottom, is "squat looking". You may find that
aspect of the monitor a bit disturbing.

And they do make really wide monitors. You would need
a swivel chair to use this. I think there may even
be some items like that, which are curved instead
of flat.

Computer monitors are inherently high definition ( high resolution ) by
nature.

It is the Television ( TV ) that has been low definition ( low
resolution ) by nature.

Televisions had to catch up to computer monitors. That is why, for many
years, one could not simply connect a computer to a TV. They had no
more than 5MHz of bandwidth while computer monitors had a good 20MHz
bandwidth. Thus a computer monitor could always display TV but not the
other way around. Now that TVs use digital technology and comb filters
their ability to display at higher resolutions has greatly been increased.
