I have a Dell E510 running Windows XP Home SP2. My monitor is a Dell 1907FP, using DVI cable.

Let's say in the future I decide to get a bigger, widescreen monitor. Perhaps the Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP. Would I need to make any changes to my computer's display settings, and/or change the video driver? Or would Windows automatically adjust my display settings to handle the widescreen format?

You'll need to do that yourself...the 2407 runs at 1920x1200.

half an answer.............

what resolution is your graphics card capable of............that's the max you will be able to run a monitor at.



I don't think there's any video card with DVI output that can't handle that resolution. Especially a card in a new Dell.
