Default Are there drivers for TFT screen under WinME/Win)8 avail

Somewhat incorrect - *some* monitors DO need external drivers - all actually
need drivers, but most are classed as Plug and Play, so the minimum required
drivers are already included in the system.

More often than not, if the screen shows the wrong resolution, then it's a
problem with the Graphics card drivers, rather than the Monitor drivers -
but NOT, by any means, always!

I am thinking about to buy a TFT screen for an older PC on

which a WinME resp. Win98 is running.
Are there drivers available for these old WinOS?

Or is the minimum Win2000 required to use TFT screens ?

Monitors don’t need drivers. When you install a driver for your
monitor, all you are doing is telling windows what the monitore is
capable of (resolution, depth, refresh rate etc.) there is no need to
install drivers for monitors, providing the monitor displays what is
ment to be displayed.
