Re: Can my computer support 2048*1152? Options

I think you have the M5100 - see http://salestores.com/aceram49.html. The L5100 is a much lower spec.

I would expect the monitor to work at 2048x1152 if you used the VGA connector. I think, but have no firm information, that the HDMI connector would support 2048x1152.

Are you reading your manual correctly? The 1920x1080 (or better) is probably a recommended resolution for quality playback of HD content, not a limit on the resolutions the x1250 can support.

If you have problems you can fit a cheap PCI-E graphics card which will support 2048x1152. Be sure to use the data cable which comes with the monitor.

Research the capabilities of your video card to see if the resolution is
supported.

Hi,
I have a computer, see below, which has an ATI Radeon X1250 graphics
card. I want to upgrade my LCD display. I see a good Samsung LCD
monitor which has 2048*1152 resolution, but I cannot decide my
computer can support that LCD resolution or not. Could anyone tell me
how to know the X1250 capability?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. The ATI Radeon X1250 graphics chip is on the
ACER motherboard. I have checked the list supported resolution model.
The hightest is 1920*1080. I also check ACER's website. There are
Aspire M5100 and L5100, two models. There is no further detail
computer info on their website. I still have no idea the computer can
support 2048*1152 or not. Any thoughts?
