awsome monitor....pics on it look impressive to say the least against my old dell flat crt....text is razor sharp...got best buy to pricematch circuit citys price of 329 after the mail in rebate.....i think its a lot of monitor for that price......how much of a diff will it make to go to the dvi deal over analog?? my card doesent have dvi out so what is the cheapest , decent card with dvi out you guys could reccommend ?? my old card wont do 32 bit while in 1600x1200 mode....it will only do 16 bit....guess its not up to the task of running this huge monitor huh ?? after only a few hours with this thing i can highly reccomend it for photos as some have said it wasnt that good....thanks for the help

Then the cheaper the better, think about a 6200. More than enough for non gaming use.

thanks bob.....ill check that one out......will it make a diff going to dvi with this samsung??

Yes.

Use DVI for sure, or you will see a slight quality loss.

I don't know what inteface you have for a video card.

For PCI-e, 7300GS or X1300 will do.

For AGP, perhaps a 9250 or FX5500.

Just get one with DVI.
