As best as I can determine, this monitor is no longer made. So if I
replace it, would I also have to replace the twin? If I replace it (or
both), would I also have to replace the graphics card? And then the
updating of the driver and operating system, that I dread!
Unless you need them to look the same, you don't need to replace the
working monitor. You definitely don't need to replace the video card or
anything else.
What would a new monitor equivalent or better than the old one cost?
I'd
be surprised if it were not "4 digits". (What is available that is
"equivalent"?)
You haven't said what the monitor is. It very much depends on size and
quality, but you should be able to get a reasonable monitor for
$100-$150USD. I recently bought a 24" monitor for about $150CAD.
