Hi,

I have an eVGA 7800GT video card on the way with a mobo/CPU/ram upgrade. I would like to purchase a new LCD for it. My questions:

Does the Dell 2005FPW 20" LCD come with the DVI cable I will need to hook up the card (or do they come with high end video cards nowadays)? Is there a better monitor for price/performance?

Does the 7800GT support a native 1680x1050 resolution? I'm guessing it does, but the nVidia site is very vague (or hard to navigate).

Thanks for your comments.
 
I have two 2005FPW monitors yes they come with the DVI cable. I dont know about price to performance but I have had no problems with either. Have had one for about a year now and the other four months with no issues. I like the widescreen very much and wouldnt go back.
One of my computers has a 6600gt and the other a 7800gtx.
Yes the 7800gt will display 1680x1050 just make sure you have up to date drivers.

One more thing XP I dont think has the display drivers so you may need to load them after it is up and running to get the correct resolution.
