My old AOC CRT monitor has finally gone kaput.  Line output transformer has gone a knacker. I need a new monitor.  What I cant find out is whether or not my graphics card supports widescreen resolutions?  Its a Club 3D Geforce 4 Ti4200.

If it does can anyone recommend a 19" or 20" Widescreen Monitor, prefferably with DVI.  Budget is 100 to 200.

If it doesnt Ill just be getting a BenQ FP92G which I got my brother and am very happy with for 150.

If you just want a cheapo i got a ebuyer 20" tft for Ã,£150 and it works a treat!

Games and dvds are fine only analog though, i think ive seen a nice sammy  widescreen for under Ã,£200 now

If you wanted to double your spend (plus about Ã,£37) this looks nice

22" Viewsonic VX2245WM, Widescreen VGA/DVI 1680x1050, 5 ms, 700:1, 280 cd/m2, Black as snip at only Ã,£337.21, plus its got an iPOD dock :D

Alternatively LG have this 19" LG L194WT Silver/Black LCD, VGA/DVI, 1440x900, 5 ms, 2000:1, 300 cd/m2, Widescreen 16:10, VESA for Ã,£146.82

If you wanna spend a wee bit more, I highly recommend :

Best buy for a long while, no ghosting at all - tested with CS:S.

I maye just stick with a regular 19" LCD screen.  It seems my graphics card does support those resolutions but not very well for gaming.

Whatever I pick it will be one of the cheap monitors.  Its a shared computer and when I do finally move out or upgrade the PC again im having my own rig so my dad hardly needs some top of the range monitor at the end of the day.  Hes paying for it.

That belina and LG looks good. I see that LG also has HDCP support.  :)

Thank you for the suggestions, any more are welcome, Im sure they will be of use to others since its janurary sale season. :)

My Hanns G 19" widescreen TFT was amazing for Ã,£130.00 delivered.  :D
Career, Wife, Mortgage... my sig was better when it listed guitars and PC's and stuff!

Ive ordered the LG L194WT from scan.  Cheers Guys.

Hmm, I have to wait till next monday, earliest delivery date. :?

Any chance you think that PC world will price match if I ask them to? They sell the monitor.

/Edit, actually, its not the same monitor according to their specifications.  Never mind.
