Can anybody tell if this 24" 16:10 monitor Dell P2421 is suitable for playing DOS and Windows 98 games?
Here are the modes from the manual:
It'll display 98, but whether or not it skips frames or not is untested:
70HZ.EXE, or crowdsourcing info on "how does your LCD display treat 70Hz video modes?"
All my screens have been ze Dells; they've all been tested and "fail". This is noticeable in pure DOS with side-scrolling games and exposed in windows 98 with the nifty 70HZ.EXE. It's cool to then watch a CRT "pass".
If those are ALL the modes, it looks like DOS is out-of-range
I personally like older screens for the older computers, as the computer in the newer monitor is more powerful than the one it's displaying, 🤣
