My PC is running Windows XP SP2. I use a Dell 1907FP LCD monitor.
Standard, square shaped. The optimum resolution, and the one I am currently
using, is 1280x1024.
I am considering the Dell 2007WFP widescreen monitor. The optimum
resolution for that model is 1680x1050.
If I go into display properties with my current monitor, click the
Settings tab, the max resolution I can use is 1280x1024. The square monitor
icon, labeled #1, is highlighted. The smaller, rectangular icon, labeled
#2, is faded out.
Question: If I buy the widescreen monitor and plug it into my computer,
will XP automatically switch over to icon #2 and allow me the option of
changing the resolution to 1680x1050? I'm fairly certain my video card
(256MB ATI Hyper Memory PCI-Express X 16 Radeon X600 SE) supports widescreen
monitors.
