Hello all. I am getting ready to purchase a new LCD monitor. I want a widescreen but want to make sure it will work at maximum resolution with my card. I have a Radeon 7000/VE. It says my max resolution is (32-bit color) up to 2048x1536. But I have searched and found nowhere if it will support the 1440 x 900 widescreen resolution I would need.

Yeah, it will.

But if you're going to play any games on a widescreen, that card will not cut it.

Thanks. I will not be playing many games. It will be for my linux system and mostly video playback. I know you said for games widescreen it will not cut it. But how about for all other 3d effects?

Well the card works just fine for what my needs. I like it much better than the old nvidia card I had in this system. I am not too worried about games and such. I just want it to still function well with the LCD monitor at that resolution.

For non gaming stuf it will be good.
