I am considering getting rid of my old computer monitor and getting a
flatscreen HD monitor. Would I need a new graphics card or something?
The guy that sold me the computer said I just had "onboard video".
Not sure what I need to do to upgrade. I'm a beginner here. Will it
just plug in like the old one? I haven't picked out a monitor yet, so
I'm asking what in general I would need to buy for a higher resolution
flatscreen that's not already in my PC. Any advice would be
appreciated. Below are the current specs of my PC and the current
monitor I am using.
