Upgraded to a 22" Samsung WS monitor

The price was good at Sam's Club and I just couldn't resist it. It's the SyncMaster model 223BW, which I think is a older model. Couldn't find it listed on Samsungs web site.

This replaces the 17" LCD regular screen that I had and it does make a world of difference. I also use my 37" LCD TV as a second monitor. I run in clone mode and the 37" does show the same resolution as the 22". I have an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 with dual VGA outputs. That was fine before because the 17" didn't have a DVI input.

Since both the new monitor and the TV have DVI input, would I realize an improvement in upgrading my video card to one with dual DVI output? I'm not a gamer so I wouldn't need anything fancy. The one I have now has 256mb of memory so I wouldn't want to reduce that. If I'm not mistaken it's an AGP card.

Looking for some thoughts here.

Nice, I was looking at the 226BW but then decided screw it and went for the 24" 245BW instead, love it.

DVI should improve a bit, I'm not sure how much...not privvy to how all that stuff works, but it couldn't hurt.

Well if you have the SyncMaster 2232BW then you have a really great monitor. I got one for Xmas and I couldn't be happier. It features a 2ms response time and a dynamic 3000:1 contrast ratio. WC never looked better.
