My relative has very poor eyesight and thus has to use very large fonts (and special software to further make text easier to see). This means of course that only a small fraction of the screen can be see at a time and he has to continually scroll around to read. I'd like to get him a larger monitor so that more of a document, e-mail, or website can be seen on the screen at a given time.

When I've seen the required or suggested specs on the larger monitors it says it needs higher end video/graphics cards - especially to use the higher resolution settings that the monitors provide. In this case, the lowest resolution settings would still be used - does that mean I can get by without those new video cards.

The PC being used here is 3 years old - it's a Dell Dimension 8300 with a 64MB GeForce4MX Graphics card. Currently he has a 17" monitor so I'm looking for anywhere between a 21" monitor to the 30" ones Dell has been advertising. The selling point of these monitors however are the opposite of the needs here. Any suggestions are very much appreciated.
