Title: graphic card vs. WXGA
Post by: Richard Stahl on October 22, 2004, 06:20:51 AM

Hello,

I am intending to buy a wide screen 16:9 TFT screen. My question is how it is going to look like if my graphic card does not support the wide format WXGA? It does support UXGA. What resolution I can use on that screen in the combination with my graphic card?

Thanks a lot.

Best regards,
Richard
