Looks like a View Sonic that's in my closet.
Worked fine!
It's only in my closet because I gave up on MS and bought an iMac last year.
-
Thanks Hap. How do you like the iMac ? A guy here in the office uses one, but I haven't had a chance to really look into it.
Thanks, Avenger8

Avenger,
I really like it!
There's nothing I miss in owning it rather than a PC.
All pluses and no minuses.
Ooops, correction, it is more expensive.
There's the minus.
Yet, were I to do it all over, I'd do it all again.

I had one a few years ago , was a good monitor . Never had any issues with it , and i ran it @ 1280X1024 with an 85 refresh rate IIRC . I've since given it to my brother who is still using it and it looks and displays just like it was new .
My only advice is to make sure you run the right monitor .INF (driver) file , if you let window install it as a plug and play monitor it won't display the higher refresh rate choices (90 ,100, 120 ) that it is capable of producing @ certain resolutions.
-
I think you're thinking W95/98 stuff there 38ruk. XP will handle the monitor natively providing the display drivers are properly installed as they must.
-
Cool, thanks guys. I used the installation disk for the driver, and everything ooks great. I had a blast playing this weekend.
Thanks for the comments guys !

Thats what i was saying MrR , just make sure you use the driver disk or (most of the time ) windows will default to a plug and play monitor driver . When XP does that , ive lost refresh rate options in the higher range 90-120.

I think we're confusing display card drivers and display drivers. It's enough to have proper display card drivers installed in XP. The refresh rates can be overrided in the settings by a mouse click.

"Installing" the monitor *.INF files is not an executable thing.
you extract them to a location, then manually update the driver for your "Monitor"

if it doesn't list your model correctly it does not truly know what it can and can not run.
that is in XP not just 95/98 and that is 1 OLD monitor, so it's not that M$ didn't know it was around when they included drivers.

For the uumphtiest time the .inf is useless you can override the limitation by ticking one box off:
