Ati 4870 - Larger Screen Needed To Get Full Benefit??
I'm thinking of buying a ATI RADEON 4870(or higher) card (1024mb). I've read somewhere that you would only get the full benefit of this card only if you have at least a 21" LCD monitor and anything smaller would be a waste of money. Is this right? I've have a 19" LCD monitor and I would like to have some advice if I should think about getting a larger screen. -- bernard8950 |

I went from 13" to 17" to 19" to now 22". I choose 22" when I went with two wide screen monitors, and the size of the desk was a big factor. I would have gone 24" the maximum size the video board will drive without going to a dual link setup if my desk had the room for it. You can never have too large of a monitor. Whatever size you have, you will soon want a larger one. With ATI's Eyefinity, 3 or more monitors will soon be the norm. 22" monitors are so inexpensive it's hard to recommend anything smaller. Be sure you get a fast high contrast ratio motor for best viewing pleasure. Enjoy, William |
