Hi folks,

I am looking at getting a 22" LCD monitor for FSX. Can anyone here tell me if it will handle a screen resolution of 1680X1050?

Many thanks.

22" LCD's are generally native 1680x1050, the same as 20".

twice that and beyond

what you must make sure of is your video card has enough memory to handle the frame buffer at higher resolutions.. I would not even attempt a high res with less than 512 and 768 for 1920x1200 and higher

Working on having three 22s stitched together (waaaay down the line though - starting with just one for now!)

At the moment an 8600GTS.
But would have to upgrade if I want to run more than one display.
