Hello all
I would like to purchase two widescreen monitors to add to my 4:3 VGA monitor, mainly for multitasking. I would like to spend no more than $70 on each, and they should be the same model. So I have a few questions:
1. I'm not much of a gamer right now (because I'm westwicted) besides Minecraft, Terraria, and some Valve games and a few sims. Should I go with 16:10 or 16:9?
2. Will my HIS Radeon HD 6850 be able to handle this setup?
3. What features should I look for in a monitor this cheap?
 
Solution
16:9 because it's pretty much the standard.

And no, that adapter would only help for connecting the VGA monitor. You still need the Active DisplayPort to DVI adapter specified in the second post of the thread I posted.

22-23 inches maybe?
I'm finding things on ebay that say they're in working condition...

I'm assuming the DVI-VGA converter that came with the card is acceptable?
And what do you think I should get the aspect ratio?
