Hi James,PMFJI.
<<I've been using an iiyama 19" for about 3 years <g> and it's not the monitor that dictates its resolution size it's the Card your using. >>
Not quite true. It's a combination of both the card and the monitor. No good having a great card and a rubbish monitor or vice-versa.
For example a 17" budget monitor would not allow me to run at 1600*1200 @85Hz that the Ti4600 can deliver. OTOH, a Iiyama Pro 454 with a STB Velocity 128 would be equally disappointing.
Under normal rules graphics cards can usually output resolutions and refresh rates that monitors are struggling to support but the gap is narrowing. The Iiyama Pro 454 can support resolutions up to 1600*1200 @85Hz and even higher at lower refresh rates. I've tried 1880*1440 but the refresh rate is too low for me at 75Hz.
Your 3 year old Iiyama cannot compete with current models just like my 4 year old Sony 19" cannot compete with the 454. Time to get your plastic out!
