why cant i display higher resolution

[vsboxerboy]

Just bought a Viewsonic 32" LCD screen and I cannot display higher than 1024x768 on the screen without having to scroll to see the entire desktop. Is the problem because I am using the svideo output instead of VGA, colorstream or is it because my graphics card (x700pro) is not up to the task??

you can't go any higher via svideo - you need to go to vga, dvi, or component to go any higher. and yes, your video card is fine to do that.

yep go dvi

It doesnt have DVI unfortunately but it does have an HDMI hookup so I'll wait for a nice HDMI graphics card to come out then I'll upgrade ($$$$$) thanks for the response though.

why not use a dvi to hdmi cable/adapter?

I've never seen such a thing, would that provide better quality than straight VGA??

yeah so update I bought a VGA cable and everything is cool and it displays the max resolution...btw it is absolutely rediculous having a 32" monitor
