(...) At home it is a Dell 17" Trinitron on a Matrox G450 Dualhead. At work I have this IBM G78 17". It is the default "You're a Manager, You Get a T23 Laptop, Here's Our Corporate Standard for Laptops" monitor. Both I run 1280x1024 on. (...) Yes, (...)

(...) Really it's a combination of the video card and the monitor. The video card has to be able to generate the high sink rates, and the monitor needs to be able to display them.

(...) Right, but almost ANY video card in the last five years can generate 1600x1200 in whatever refresh rate you want. The practical limitation is the monitor in Iain's and most people's cases. Calum (21 years ago, 11-Mar-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
