Ati 4670 best res lcd?

[revwoode]

im in the market to replace my aging compaq 17 crt got a ati 4670 recently had wondering what type of res i should be looking for? i have a low budget 150-175 and want atleast a 20 in lcd but really want more of a better overall viewing experince more than screen size. so my question is with this card should i get a 1920x1080 or 1650x1050? i have dvi hdmi and vga so connection arent a concern but hdmi would be cool i guess not needed though. i play games and watch hulu/netflix no work is done on my pc all play. lets here some suggestion

1650x1050 is the recommended resolution. It can handle higher but you'll have frame rate difficulties with demanding games.

That's from experience and knowledge of the performance of all graphics cards. You probably won't find a recommended resolution from the actual card vendors, just the maximum resolution (of which is 2560 x 1600).
