Syncmaster 204Ts, full HD capaple?

Jan 30, 2009 7:26AM PST

I bought the SyncMaster 204Ts LCD monitor some years ago, I guess it's now old as far as hardware goes but I'm still completely satisfied with it and would hate to have to replace it.

I'm looking however into getting a new computer, my current one really isn't cutting it anymore. There's one I have my eyes on, however, in the description there is a note that says a full HD compatible monitor is required (graphic card is ATI Radeon HD 4350). Now my question, would my current monitor work or would I have to get a new one? I would be grateful for all help you can give me, thank you!

lar_a123,

Your monitor has a maximum of resolution of 1600x1200.

High Definition is 1280x720 lines of resolution and above, so I would assume that you would be able to use your current monitor.

Thank you for the information, however I did some more research and there's a difference between HD and full HD, sadly I don't think my monitor is going to work with full HD, the resolution is not high enough, too bad.
