Monitors for win98SE

[LoneCrusader]

At this point we don't even know if the OP HAS an nVidia card..

You might not, we do:

Seems as if it'll be ok...Graphics card, GeForce 6200, supports 1360 (sic) x 768 at 60Hz. But not 1366. Is that a difference that matters?

"Samsung... SynchMaster 700IFT. Picure is ok, but every browswer page of any complexity

gets refreshed; i.e. screen blanks and then refreshes - just once. . Not an issue because

i don't intend using the monitor, but curious...."

That CRT monitor is from just before the turn of the century, so ageing componentry could

be responsible.

An alternate explanation presents itself upon examination of the user manual;

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/media/i3d/01/A/man-migrate/MANUAL000015483.pdf

shows that it has a menu adjustment for 0.7V or 1.0Volt. If you are using a GeForce 6200,

regardless of whether it is PCI, AGP, or PCI-E, GeForce 6200 will be using about 0.7V out

for (analog) VGA. If you have 1.0V selected in the monitor settings, this would mean the

monitor is receiving 'in' a video signal which the monitor 'regards' as about 30% less than

what it 'expects' to be useable. This conceivably could cause periodic "blanks' of the screen...

"Seems a bit odd this 1366 figure. Wonder if it's a typo..."

1366 x 768 is a resolution, typically seen associated in use with later OSes, e.g. Vista, Win 7.

TIA = Thanks In Advance

On LCD, ANY resolution which is not it's "native" one will be interpolated/stretched and what not, in any case it will work with far then optimal visual results, so what you really should take care of is that your video card (and it's drivers) supports the specific "native" video resolution that your LCD monitor has.

Many thanks for this info. Selected a Hanns-G monitor. Detected straightaway without any software install on win98. (supplied software only supported by win7). Configuration with graphics card control was simple. Excellent results at 1280 x 1024.
