Any Windows computer should be compatible with your monitor.

However there's no Windows 10 driver available for your printer, so you can't buy any NEW Windows computer if you're going to stick with that printer. (The most recent driver is for Windows 7).

So you either need to ditch your printer (which must be getting on a bit anyway, since it hasn't been sold since 2007) and get a Windows 10 computer or, if you really want to keep the printer, buy a secondhand/reconditioned Windows 7 computer.

The 'Windows-10-plus-a-new-printer' route is the ideal one to go down but if you're on a tight budget you can keep your existing printer by buying one of these

(It's perfectly good enough for 'office' type computing, such as web browsing, emails, word processing, etc but it wouldn't be able to cope with things like high-end video processing or the latest video games). I can thoroughly recommend that firm, as it's where I always buy from!

If you go for a Windows 7 computer you can get the driver for your current printer here: http://tinyurl.com/yazljoob

If you decide to go for a Windows 10 computer (and ditch your current printer) I recommend buying a Canon printer to go with it. (They're far more reliable than Epson).

If you need further advice, please give us an indication of what you actually use your computer for.
