Sorry to drag up this thread... just a quick question if I may.

I'm interested in this monitor: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-B22...1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1291112222&sr=1-2

But do I need certain hardware in my PC to make it work? The monitor is HD...

Just a reminder of my spec:

Hi!

Yes, PC's have been "hd" for the last decade or two so problems there. The GTX 460 will be able to go much higher than any reasonably priced monitor can resolution wise.
