I purchased a Dell 20" FP and by mistake got a wide aspect screen instead of
a normal (4:3)res (1600x1200). I decided to keep the wide screen and give it
to someone else at my company. I had to upgrade the computer (win2000) to a
new video card with drivers that supported the 16:9 resolution. Dell's site
stated this for the wide screen monitor - only supported on certain computers
that had the particular video cards/integrated hardware with drivers to
support it.
