Default Are monitor drivers necessary? Buying new monitor for Windows95

I'm using Windows 95b. I'm planning to buy a new CRT, maybe an HP-mx705. The
computer is a Dell PII 300 MHz Dimension.

The HP monitor has drivers for Windows 98 and above only. Is this going to be a
problem? What is the purpose of the monitor drivers? Do I really need them?

I never installed monitor drivers for my current monitor, an Iiyama CRT (MT901E)
so I'm thinking either they aren't needed or the monitor drivers came with
Windows 95 so I didn't have to install them from a disc.

Thanks.


monitor drivers are rarely critical...
generally the "default" monitor will be fine
