Monitor Question

Question

I am  wanting to get a LCD Monitor, and I was looking at a couple at Dell Outlet, This One says compatible with select Dell OptiPlex Desktops, Precision Workstations and Latitude Laptops. Does that mean it only works with those models or does it Mean to work with Dimension and those models. The other ones I was looking at for instance doesn't have that language in their Overview and it is an Ultra Sharp also. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Displays/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-6138    I Guess what I am asking is will these Monitors work with a Dimension 2400 and a Precision WS370, I bought the Precision at Dell Auction and it does not come with a monitor. The Dim 2400 came with a CRT monitor. I put a video card in it, an evga GeForce 6200 and now the monitor does not handle all the resolutions it did in the past. It does work at 1024 x 768 which is what I like anyways.   Any help is appreciated, greatly Malron

Both of those monitors will work with your systems.

If you have limited video resolutions available, you probably need to install the driver for the FX6200. Likewise, identifying the graphics card in the Precision WS370 and updating the drivers would be a good idea.

You should use an LCD monitor's native (or optimal) resolution for best results.

Thanks for answering my question on the Monitors "gpro". Sorry for not replying sooner I am having a heck of a time trying to post I keep getting HTML errors for some reason when I Submit Post.I have retyped this message 3 times now as I loose it when I post it. This happened yesterday and I did not realize it until today that my message did not Post.

Anyways as to the drivers for the e-GeForce 6200. I had followed instructions I got here for PCI cards. It said to just use the drivers that came with the CD, as the most current drivers are for the newer video cards. I downloaded the driver from the link you had on your post. It is a Forceware 169.21

I will install it and see if that helps. I had down loaded a driver from evga, a Forceware 163.75 . Just in case I needed it when I installed the video card.

Thanks again

Malron
