I am not very familiar with the relationship between monitors and graphics cards (since i do not have a graphics card). I need help in getting the right kind of graphics card that would successfully support a samsung LCD monitor (1920 by 1200). If it helps, I have Windows XP.
Can I use nvidia?
Please help me out!

Almost any graphics card you get today will support that resolution.
I would recommend getting one with a DVI connection, if your monitor supports DVI-D, as this will give a better picture.
The difference in all the video chipsets out there is the difference in the level of graphics acceleration. Useful for gaming or if you do tasks that use a lot of graphics horsepower like 3D modeling.
If that is not a problem to you then get one at the price point you feel comfortable with. If you are going to run Vista more graphics memory is possibility more important than more acceleration.

24" widescreen? Any newish mid-end video card will support this. If you aren't sure, or you're buying a card that is more than a couple years old, check the manufacturer's specs for the card you want to buy. Look at the max supported resolution. 1920x1200 is also known as WUXGA. Both ATI and NVIDIA are fine.
