I have a Pnp Nvidia GeForce4MX integratedGPU 32Meg video card.
I have a 1.8 Gig 606meg desktop PC and a CTX PV505 LCD monitor.
In Windows XP Home Settings I can select 1024x768 16 Bit res or 800x600 32
Bit but that's all.
Why can't I get 1024x768 32 Bit.
I have loaded the lastest driver from Nvidia site.
This causes problems when I run video in Media Player etc.
Can you help.?
Thanks, Bob

I am not sure if the LCD monitor will allow 32 bit but I think it should ? .
Some pictures and video especially from my video camera does have more the
16 bit colours, especially sky blue which comes out blotchy on the PC but ok
on TV.

Follow-up
The LCD monitor does allow 1024x768x32 in fact it is the preferred Res, but
I think it needs it at 78.75 KHz vert and 60.20 MHz Horizontal refresh rate
?.
But Windows will only allows max of 75 MHz and no 1024x768x32 resolution.
Is it the Video card that causes these restrictions in Windows ?????
If not what could be causing the limitations. ?

16 bit color will get you 65535 different colors and is faster on the
display.
