We’re currently investigating an issue related to the forum theme and styling that is impacting page layout and visual formatting. The problem has been identified, and we are actively working on a resolution. There is no impact to user data or functionality, this is strictly a front-end display issue. We’ll post an update once the fix has been deployed. Thanks for your patience while we get this sorted.
I should have nothing to worry about, right?

Plan on gaming? If so, plan on a resolution of 960x600; you might need PowerStrip for it though.
I doubt a TI4200 has the juice to drive anything on this side of tetris at 1920x1200... Actually, don't you need some sort of "Dual-Link DVI" for high resolutions?

It'll work, but just barely. I guess you'll need to set an option called reduced blanking.
I knew there was some sort of limitation about single-link DVI. Can't go over 165MHz. 1920x1200 @ 60hz rb is right on the edge of that.

Probably. To be honest, I don't mess around with LCDs (For this very reason 🙂).

Hey, just look at it this way:
With a CRT, every resolution is a native resolution. 😉

I think he meant don't plan on any gaming at 1920x1200...

Just out of curiosity, you do understand how LCDs work, right?

It doesn't quite work that way. It does, but any resolution other than native looks like ass. I bought a 6800 to power my 2001fp, I like the high resolutions but my old ti4200 didn'T.
One other option is to run the display letterboxed. I can't remember exactly what it's called, but you can blank portions of the monitor to make your selected resolution native. I don't like that option though, I didn't buy a large display to turn part of it off.
