Hardware Forum / Video Cards / ATI / September 2006will my AIW 9000 Pro drive a new 20" LCD?
I'm considering buying a Viewsonic 20" LCD (VX2025WM) and need to know whether my AIW 9000 Pro will drive it. I'm running Catalyst 9.08 which is the latest software than is stable on my PC. The maximum resolution that shows when I open properties on my current crt monitor is 1600 x 1200 and the native resolution of the LCD I am considering is 1680 x 1050. My (limited) understanding is that an LCD should be run at native resolution so will this monitor work with my video card? Will the drrivers that come with the monitor enable me to match resolutions, perhaps? Any practical advice other beyond replacing my admittedly old video card would be greatly appreciated.

The monitor should come with a 'driver' disk that will set the proper resolution. My AIW 8500 is working perfectly on a 19" WS flatpanel at 1440x900, but that resolution didn't show until I used the disk that came with the monitor. Lumber Cartel (tinlc) #2063.

Remove XYZ to email me Most of the monitors now a day do not come with a driver disk because they automatically communicate with your graphic card through DDC(http://www.hwupgrade.com/monitor/index6.html). All the features of the monitor is communicated to your graphic card by DDC. But Kat is correct in that your LCD's native resolution can be display on AIW9000. The problem will occur if you try to excess your LCD's DDC resolutions.
