Monitor resolution

[mako_123]

Hi guys
i recently bought new Samsung 15 in monitor. But it supports a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024. I also have Ge force 6200 installed on my system . Why doesnt my monitor support 1600 x 1200 resolution and whch monitor supports such resolution.

How can u ask a moniter with 1280 * 1024 resolution to go with 1600 * 1200.
it all depends on no of pixels mapped on phos[her screen.
i think acer has such moniters

Many monitors have this facility but I guess yours doesn't !
Why didn't you check it out in the manual or ask the dealer before you bought it ?

1600*1200 resolution is not supported by any 15" monitor to my knowledge. A few high end 17" monitor may support it in interlaced mode (eg. - one out of three 17" monitors I own). Almost all 19" and higher monitors fully support 1600*1200 and higher in non-interlaced mode. BTW, dont ever go in for interlaced mode at any resolution. It is very straining to the eyes. Go for non-interlaced mode at 75Hz vertical refresh minimum at the required resolution. These will cost slightly higher but fully worth the extra bucks spent.

whats the maximum refesh rate for the monitor ?
my moniotr has got 85 Hz
is this maximum ?

There is a give n take between refresh rate and resolution for a given bandwidth of the monitor. In my case the refresh rate is 85 hz maximum at 800*600 resolution (can also be set lower at 75 or 60 hz) and 75 max at 1024*768. In my case I consider 75 hz as the maximum for the resolution that I want - 1024*768 (all non-interlaced). 1600*1200 is supported at 60 hz interlaced mode - not my liking.
