asked on

can an older monitor affect PC performance?

I was going to get a new computer to improve my productivity with my work. I primarliy use a piece of software that creates flash and html5 output. Not 3d, but flash. As I merrily go about choosing a new PC with a vastly faster processor - an i7 compared to my old 6 year old processor, it occurs to me that I was going to keep my old monitors. That being an EIZO flexscan S2000 and a EIZO flexscan L537. Both about a decade old now, I prefer the lack of glare compared to new monitors. My question is, if I can word it right to make sense, can an older monitor cause a lower pc performance? In other words could a 10 year old monitor cause a bottle neck on a 2015 pc, i.e. be the weakest link? Would I be advised on a new monitor to be in keeping with the speed of my new pc?

Hope that makes sense! Thanks.
