• Satellite P200 and screen LCD Samsung T240HD - impossible to get good resolution

  Hello
  I can't force my laptop P200 with radeon 2600hd to work properly with the Samsung T240HD LCD screen.
  Nor with the d - Sub or HDMI output.

  Using d - Sub maximum resolution I can get is 1024 x 768... monitor can go up to 1900 x 1200. With different laptop ex Toshiba P100 with nvidia Go7600, everything is OK - 1920 x 1200 goes like a charm.

  Much worse is to use an HDMI output. Photo is very poor - I can't choose any standard resolution. Worse than common crt tv (SD).

  I have a new Toshiba support web pages display drivers.
  The cables are OK.

  Any help?

  Hello

  I'm really surprised that you can get the resolution of 1024 x 768 only. According to the specifications of the laptop for P200 with ATI graphics support for external monitor resolutions are:
  640 x 480
  800 x 600
  1024 x 768
  1280 x 1024
  1400 x 1050 is not supported.
  1600 x 1200
  1920 x 1440
  2048 x 1536
  Then maybe you should try to use the original driver Samsung

• Satellite M30-104 - cannot set a good resolution on external monitor

  Hello world

  I have a Satellite M30-104 with a nvidia GeForce FX5200.
  This works well but when I plug in an external monitor, which is a widescreen 1440 * 900, I can not put the correct resolution, even if I install the latest driver.

  What can I do?

  Thank you

  Hello

  First of all you must check in your manual if your graphics card would support such a resolution external.

  But note; you will not be able to select this resolution if the graphics driver doesn t contains, although this resolution would be supported by the graphics card.

  As you can see two facts are important: driver graphics and graphics card can support this resolution if you want to use.

• Possible to connect an external monitor for laptop HP Pavilion dv4t-4200 CTO

  I have a HP Pavilion dv4t-4200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC model # A1M02AV and it has a VGA, one port that resembles a cable port phone/broadband and one that looks like a USB port, but indented on each side down. I can even connect an external monitor? How will I know if I have more than 1 video card? In addition to the usual USB/headphone ports, I have not all ports. He says that my drivers are up to date... but I don't know even what I'm looking for. Do I need to install something or buy some kind of adapter?

  I'm trying to connect an external Dell montitor via the VGA port with a VGA cable. The monitor has power, but my laptop does not detect recognize them / it. However, when I plugged in the first time in, my laptop screen has shrunk in a square (vs the entire screen) so he acknowledged something... but nothing happened on the external monitor.

  I tried to detect through my display settings, but I have accidentally changed some display setting until the reception desk shows only 1 monitor, but not selected my real laptop screen or something or changed to be Monitor 2 (even if there is no monitor 1), so when I plug the cable into my laptop suddenly my desktop disappears and it's just a white background screen - and I cannot access the screen of the computer settings or whatever whatever... when the cable is disconnected this setting seems to be normal, so I can not understand how to fix it.

  Sorry, I don't know what I'm doing here - please help!

  Hello

  All Dell monitors are equipped with CD for the drivers. Your laptop may not know the monitor without its driver, it will not install automatically. Please check:

  Ringht click an empty space on the desktop,

  Click Customize

  Click on display

  Click on change display settings

  You can see the TWO laptop screen and external monitor in there, as shown in the following image:

  

  For the test, I put my Dell monitor is my main screen. If I can't see 2 monitors, you need its driver first and then check the cable.

  Kind regards.

  Absolutely!

  You can use as many USB DVI adapters as you have USB ports available.

  If you go beyond the number of USB ports on your laptop be sure and use external powered hubs USB This way you don't kill the chip southbridge by gong beyond current capacity.

• Recommendation for external monitor for 2009 17 "MBP

  Hi all

  I would like to get an external monitor for the time where a 17 "display is not quite big enough, but is there a limit on the size I can go? And with a 2009 MBP, would be a 4 k screen work?

  The specifications of my MBP is: 17-inch, early 2009, processor Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz, memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9400 M 256 MB graphics card

  I'm happy to find an opportunity that A1082 Apple display 23 ", but maybe I would go a little bigger. Used Apple screens are starting to become a bit expensive when there are more than 23 ", so I consider sacrificing the aesthetics of the product and get a monitor not Apple to about 27"... could anyone recommend any specific model?

  I will mostly use the screen for the design work (InDesign) and surf, so that I don't do high range editing, I'd still like the colors to be accurate enough.

  Any help is appreciated!

• Need for external monitor for Portege R500

  The screen on the R500 (PPR50E-01301TEN) is fine for a use for an hour or two on the go, but if I use it constantly throughout the day, I get a bad neck and headache (perhaps the angle that you have to look as far as its small size). So I want to get the external monitors for her at work and at home. Home preference would be an LCD TV.

  The problem is Windows tells me that the screen resolutions supported for the external monitor is 1280 x 768, 1920 x 1080 and 1920 x 1200. Linux wants to offer me 1280 x 800 or below, although I might be able to fix this with a little tweaking. Assuming that Windows is right, does anyone know of a 18-21 "wide screen monitor or a TV with one of the resolutions supported as its native resolution, or even a resolution supported? I can't find something.

  It should probably be 1920x1xxx, 1280 x 768 will be quite grainy close up on a 18 "+ monitor." Why aren't all common intermediate resolutions on the monitors (1440 x 900 or 1680 x 1050) supported? If he can do 1920x1xxx, he should be able to make them.

  As much as I know duplicator can not improve things. This external device just flow through the signal from the computer laptop itself.

• I want to get caught in charge double external monitor for my MBP with Win7 on Fusion, what should I buy?

  Forgive me if this is clear somewhere in the communities.  I have indeed searched it in addition to Google and I can't find a clear answer.

  I have a 15 "MacBook Pro (aluminum Unibody 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo w / 4 GB RAM with backlit keyboard black) running VMware Fusion 3.1 and Windows 7 x 64 as a guest in Unity Mode operating system.  I have two screens beautiful external LCD on my desk.  I want to be able to run both of them with this software/hardware configuration.  To do this, I bought a USB to DVI DisplayLink solution by Diamond (as the MBP had only a single mini-DisplayPort port) in order to be able to control the 2nd external monitor.

  I noticed that when I added the USB to DVI for mixing with the latest DisplayLink drivers (it is the time where I was running VMware Fusion 3.0), it works, but not very reliable and it would break my Win7 x 64 VM or cause other weird problems too much.  I have had no other problems with this configuration in addition to VMware fusion.  As long as I wasn't trying to run a virtual machine with the merger, the USB to DVI external worked very well.   However, given the choice to have a 2nd external monitor or VM support, I had no other choice than to loop and choose VMware on the adapter.  Well, I took it on the mixture so I went back to the adapter.

  I got the notice that VMware Fusion 3.1 is available with tons of bugs and it whet my appetite again for the glory of two external monitors, so I upgraded to it yesterday.

  Is someone can you please tell me exactly what I need to buy to get the reliable support of two external monitors in this environment?

  And please don't say no double or Triple head to go by Matrox.  I don't mean for this set of compromise.

  Besides solutions Matrox, my only choice seems to be somehow supporting this additional monitor via Ethernet, Firewire or USB.  I want to know what are sanctioned for this solutions are supported by VMware (i.e. you tell me what to buy...) I'll buy it... and it works... works very well).

  Thanks a bunch,

  Ted...

  Almost all laptops, dual support external monitor and are VERY easy to configure.

  I support Mac and PC systems.  It's a complete joke that anyone would try to convince me that Mac has better bi-ecrans support.

  To the extent where what is the best solution for businesses.  The need to install a virtual Mac on a PC machine was never even considered because it is not necessary in the world of business.  I can't say that on Mac.

  I'm the guy who went to take care of both in a business environment.  Your brilliant mac sounds really cool, but it is a major pain in my butt and should be confined to a domestic environment.

  Screwed as far as home users, my Mac friends never call me on the East of their computer from viruses.  I like this very well on Mac at home.  But which probably has more to do with the fact that it is not profitable to write a virus for the Mac platform.

• external monitor for HP Omni 10

  What can I use as an external monitor to the HP Omni 10? I have a HP W7072a, going to work?

  Wow, that was fast! (and useful... I'm surprised that Google has been distraught on "HP W2072a.")

  This screen has a "native resolution" of 1600 x 900 pixels, which is the correct report (16 x 9) to display videos and movies. However, it can display only a part of the Office of the Omni at anytime and it will take more scrolling to view the contents of the window & a few pop-ups information may not be displayed correctly. To get an idea of what it will look like, use the control panel displays temporarily set at 1600 x 900 Omni display and see if you find acceptable for your usual activities. This is an important consideration, because an image unique to an external display, it will fix a mouse & possibly a keyboard to your Omni to control what is happening on the screen. If you can 'live with' 1600 x 900 pixels on the screen of the Omni during the projection of a "duplicate" of this to your W2072a from HP, you can avoid the complication of keyboard and mouse. Assuming you are willing to change the display resolution of the Omni if necessary, you will need a 'micro-HDMI Cable VGA adapter' for your Omni to connect to this display. I did not see one of those on the HP shopping site, but here is a link to several:

  Amazon.com: adapter HDMI / vga

  (They mainly differ in the length of the cable, and if they are the only two video and audio or video, you will need to decide which type will work best for your situation. Check the comments to find the models rated & no problem...)

  I hope this is enough information to help you on your way... You can usually find some Member of the forum available to answer additional questions, and we will certainly appreciate having to report it at the time where the connection works to your satisfaction. You can then mark this "resolved" discussion while the other forum visitors can easily find and enjoy your experience.

• Zbook g2 17: external monitor for Zbook 17 "G2

  I want to connect my Zbook 17 "G2 to an external monitor with a DVI - D input (Eizo 19 - resolution max 1280 * 1024).
  
  Big doubt: the Displayport output left in the laptop is suitable to do?
  
  I thought to buy an adapter Displayport to DVI - D and connect a DVI-D to DVI-D cable to the screen:

  1. Displayport output from laptop
  2. Displayport adapter-> DVI - D
  3. Cable DVI - D / DVI - D
  4. Input DVI - D monitor
     
     I also wonder: given that the monitor has a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024, maybe I don't need to use the DVI cable and I could use a VGA - VGA? Maybe the graphics difference should be minimal?

  Even in 1280 x 1024 DP/DVI digital connection will provide a somewhat sharper picture on the screen. But the VGA would work. You described exactly how to get DVI using a DP to DVI.

• external monitor for XPS 2720 AIO

  Got a XPS27 of last generation with the NVIDIA GT640M card

  I want to thank my bed on display with an additional external display (and not in double mode lemoniteur double screen internal but extended)

  Can I connect a monitor supporting resolution 2560 X 1440 (such as Dell U2713HM) through HDMI or mini port DP and get full resolution in addition to the built-in display

  Hi meiman1,

  According to this Article from Wikipedia, you can connect the external monitor using HDMI 1. 4A with a resolution of 2560 X 1440. NVidia GT 750 M 1-4 has HDMI connector, as well as the Dell U2713HM monitor.

  Avoid any problems in the expansion of the display with a 2560 X 1440 resolution using the HDMI connection.
