Video card for 2405FPW on a laptop

[franciel]

I am looking at buying a Dell 2405FPW. I have a Thinkpad T41 with an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 Video Card. It appears it will not support the 1920x1200 resolution needed for the 2405FPW. Any recommendations for a replacement card? I want something good considering the price of the monitor, but I don't game.

I'm sorry but your laptop's video card cannot be replace nor any newer card will be able to installed on your laptop. It's time for a new one and the LCD screen.

OR

You can buy one of those cheaper LCD TVs albeit it won't run 1920x1200, but it will run 1280x768 or 1366x768 or 1440x990 at the same if not bigger screen than 2405FPW.

I hope that helps.

Thanks for your help. I did some more research and realized that. I'm probably not going to upgrade computers until next year so will have to wait on a 24" screen. By then, who knows what the options will be. In the interim, the 19" I got was a major upgrade.
