Dual Monitors

[royalk4]

I currently have the Dell 1703 Ultrasharp monitor and am thinking I would like to get a 2nd monitor. I would like it to be the same height deminsions. and I'm thinking that I would like to wall mount it. For monitors I would like to stay with dell so they look alike. Either the 22'' or the 20'' probably. Which monitor would fit best so that they look similar when I put them together?

Also would I be able to run it at the higher res of the larger monitor?


Also I have a BFG 1DVI 1analog 6800 OC video card. I would proably need to get a new video card wouldn't I? I'm thinking I would get something with Dual DVI.
Thanks

no one knows what monitor I would need to get to make them look the same height wise?

Well to get them to match up well, you'd need to have the heights be very close and then the vertical resolution would also have to be very close. Getting matching monitors would work the best of course.

What are you asking there? If you can run the 17" at a higher res than it's native res?

You can use this as a rough guide for how things will look.

I'm not sure if there's really a good match for you.

A 20" widescreen would probably be close.

If you rotated the 17" to vertical, it might be close to a 24" widescreen.

I was looking at the 2007WFP and it is roughly the same height I believe according to dell. I was hoping maybe someone with a 20'' in or 22'' dell would measure the heights for me and let me know
