With my old mother board, the video card allowed a screen res between 1024 and the 1278. 1278 is far too small for a 17" monitor and my eye-sight.
Got a new video card and motherboard and this video card really is best suited for only 1024 otherwise I get screen flicker if I go any higher.
Is this because new video cards not so compatible with a CRT monitor that is 4 years old? I tried it with two CRT monitors, different brands and both got terrible flicker if higher than 1024. Changing refresh rate did NOT help either.
Should I be considering a LCD monitor and if so, and recommendation for brands. I work around 16 hours a day on computer so I am wanting sharp quality.
I appreciate any input because at present using applications such as Photoshop etc at 1024 is not much fun!
