  The answer certainly lies with Intel, not Lenovo. It's an Intel chipset and GPU, and pilots come from Intel...

• ThinkPad E550: External monitor blinks constantly during the recharge of portable

  When I'm running my Thinkpad E550 and I connect it to any external monitor with a VGA cable, the external monitor blinks constantly as the external monitor can be used to do any significant work.

  However, when I remove the charger, the constant flashing stops and the external display could be used if the screen still flickers / flashes for about 4 seconds every 50 minutes or more.

  Unfortunately, using the laptop on battery power all the time is not healthy for the battery of the laptop but it is the choice that I have if I need to use an external monitor.

  I tried to use an adapter 2 components for connect the monitors but I still feel the flicker until I remove the charger.

  Does anyone have a solution? Thank you.

• X1C resolution 1600 x 900-> > a higher resolution that is external monitor?

  Hello

  When the X1C description says "resolution 1600 x 900 ' I suppose it refers only to the screen. It will be possible to achieve a higher resolution, I... e 1900 x 1200, with an external monitor?

  Thanks four your answers.
  Best
  Christof

  PS I think exchanging by Thinkpad S1 Yoga to a used X1C.

  Good day and welcome to the community Chrizztof.

  Since you mention the X1C resolution 1600 x 900, I guess you consider computer either a Gen1 / Gen2.

  Here is the detail for each pages:

  Gen1 - Type 34xx
  https://support.Lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ThinkPad-X-series-laptops/ThinkPad-x1...

  There is support for an external monitor through VGA Dongle
  Maximum external resolution: up to 2560 x 1600

  Gen2 - Types A 20, 7, 20A 8
  https://support.Lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ThinkPad-X-series-laptops/ThinkPad-x1...

  Just for comparison, here is the link Gen3:

  Gen3 - 20BS, 20BT Types
  https://support.Lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ThinkPad-X-series-laptops/ThinkPad-x1...

  Max resolution: 3840 x 2160 (Mini DisplayPort) @60 Hz; 4096 x 2304 (HDMI) @24 Hz

  Note that the Gen2 page does not have a specific indication of the external monitor supported maximum resolution. If I find more detailed resources, I'll post them.

  I hope this helps a little.

  Kind regards.

• Cannot get T500 to display on the external monitor

  Hello
  I'm running Windows 7 on a ThinkPad T500 (type 2082.BSG), and I'm having problems after have recently updated my display on the Lenovo site software (read the list of installed software, I think that the installation of the software that is the cause of the problem is "ThinkPad features video [AMD switchable Graphics (M8x)] for Windows 7 [32/64 bit] ') version 8.752.4 - 101022 a-107489C-Lenovo). Before the update my computer has guessed what display is active (laptop screen or external monitor) and used the active display. For example, when the laptop is docked and the cover closed he used the external monitor. After the update when the laptop is connected and the lid is closed, I can't display on the external monitor. I have to open the lid and use the Fn + F7 to get the display on the external monitor. Can anyone tell me please what settings should I use to get the old behavior.

  Kind regards

  The previous is an old post, but as there was no response, and I recently solved the problem, I write in case someone else runs into the same problem.

  After having encountered the problem I restored the factory default driver (which does not show the problem). However, lately I received another message to the effect that it is recommended to install Lenovo "Thinkpad video Features (AMD Switchable Graphics...). ...". I installed the software but the problem described in my original message reappeared. However, this time, the software of (the age AMD) had a "driver update" option and my video material is correctly recognized and the correct driver has been downloaded from the AMD website, after which the problem described in my original post disappeared.

  Kind regards

• Impossible to get a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1600 on external monitor using DVI with Optimus video T420s

  Hello

  I have a T420s with Nvidia Optimus graphics card. I also have the ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3.

  When I tried to drive an external monitor via DVI, I can't get the full resolution of 2560 x 1600.

  I searched the forums and found several threads expressing problems with the implementation of the resolution of 2560 x 1600 per display port. Engineering even issued a new nvidia driver to solve problems. (http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T420-Unable-to-get-max-resolution-of-2560x1...

  I uninstalled my intel/nvidia drivers but also installed the latest lenovo driver according to the instructions on the previous post and I still can't get the full resolution of 2560 x 1600 on the DVI ports of the docking station. I tried two DVI ports on the docking station, and it still does not work. I tried enabling Optimus, discreet mode mode, etc... Nothing helps.

  However, if I try to drive the external monitor via the display of the docking port, I can get the complete resolution of 2560 x 1600.

  Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this so I can use the DVI ports on the docking station?

  Thank you very much for the help!

  dvi on the dock port is single link dvi and not dual link dvi, as such, it supports WQXGA or WQHD resolution.

  In order to use the resolution WQXGA resolution, you must use the displayport, if you monitor is not a displayport then you must use an active displayport to DVI.

• Cannot set external monitor like main window on T500

  How can I configure my external monitor as the main in Vista window when it is connected to the docking station DVI port mini?
  "My problem is that the check box ' this is my main monitor" is always disabled after having extended my desktop to monitor 4.

  The external monitor is loaded as screen 4. (Screen 3 is the T500 and 1 & 2 is assigned to the internal Intel screen card that is not in use)

  Thank you
  Philippe

  Vista because of grief in this regard and we have never seen a good answer about why.

  The good news is the utility Thinkpad Presentation Director - fire just that upward and step through the wizard. It will allow you to set up your monitors as you wish and save it as a profile. In most of the situations that the configuration will be available when anchor you, but worst case are you just select the profile of the PD icon in the task bar (or the value of the checkbox to automatically apply whenever the laptop is connected).

  I want to emphasize however that we have to make these options - the great victory is the ability to put primary watching for whatever reason Microsoft has grayed out in regular checkups.

  Best,

  Kevin

  P.S. If you really don't want to see the configuration of four screens and that you will not use the switchable graphics in the BIOS you can set discrete graphics (only) display rather than switchable. You will still likely PD to define primary/Main.

  PPS you should also be able to do through the ATI Catalyst Control Center, but in some cases that makes you stop more than the PD Assistant.

• X 220 and an external monitor FHD?

  Hello

  I really like x 220, but also heard that the D - sub port can give a good display quality on large screens, say 1080 p. It is said that the sub - D cannot provide enough bandwidth or something like that.   1366 * 768 being the only option, I'll probably need an external monitor to deal with my work (not graphic-heavy tho, so integrated map is correct, and FHD is preferred for the films ).  Could someone here check it out?  If that's true, I might go for t420s with display port.

  Thank you

  The x 220 has a DisplayPort as well, then why don't you use that?

  Extract from the book of Thinkpad (http://www.lenovo.com/psref/pdf/tabook.pdf):

  Intel HD Graphics 3000 in processor,
  external analog monitor support via VGA DB-15 connector and
  digital monitor support via DisplayPort (supports single-link DVI-D via cable 45J7915);

• 2 external monitors with mobile W520?

  I am running Windows 7 / 64 bit on my laptop Lenovo W520.

  Is it possible to connect two external monitors to unity and to display screens independent of Windows?

  If I read the link you provided correctly, I can correctly guess I CAN connect two external with just the mobile W520 screens and NO docking station?

  I tested today.  You can connect two external displays (1 VGA, 1 DisplayPort port) without a docking station.  The result is 3 independent displays - LCD of ThinkPad screen, the VGA and DisplayPort monitors.

• Turn off display when you use the external monitor R61?

  Hello

  I have a ThinkPad R61, which I use with an external monitor.  Somehow, I had in place for months with the laptop out of the screen and the monitor on.  I've used today at a meeting to feed a projector, selected somehow dieting Fn F7 of presentation such as the screen and the projector are-as I wanted - then home, re-installed with my external monitor and cannot find out how to turn off the display on the laptop.  The selections under Fn F7 do not allow this combination.  I tried the trick you offered, Fn F3 to turn off the display, but it turned out the two views.  (Now, how can I reverse this setting?)

  It sounds like a requirement of switching every day, but I can't find a clue in aid of ThinkVantage, manual mini, on the website, etc.  Thank you

  WaynO salvation,

  After pressing Fn + F7, click on manage plans... to open the Director presentation window. Then click the new... button. You should be able to put in place a system to only display on the external monitor. After setting up, make sure to check the box in the column Menu Fn + F7 to have your new schema appears in the menu when you press Fn + F7.

• 1600 x 900 external monitor on T61/X3100GMA

  I recently bought a new external monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 2043) with a resolution of 1600 x 900. I have connected VGA cable to my T61, which has an Intel X 3100 graphics card. I've read elsewhere that this graphics card supports a resolution of 1600 x 900. However, the GMA on my T61 driver displays a maximum 1440 x 900 resolution when the monitor is connected. Even my paltry netbook with an Intel GMA 950 can produce the correct resolution to VGA connection screen.  I installed the driver for the monitor on the T61, but it did not help with the problem. Does anyone know of a way to get the correct resolution to work? I've read elsewhere that this might be a limitation of the strange BIOS with Lenovo?

  A workaround is described in http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/I-can-t-get-1600x900-resolution-on-my-exter.... Just follow steps 1-3 as shown in the site linked in the discussion forum. Use keys of your monitor auto adjust function to get a clear picture. Don't forget to change the horizontal lines of 1600 to 1599, Lenovo saw fit to block the resolution 1600 x 900 on ThinkPad recent.

• White laptop of Lenovo Windows 7 screen... .external monitor works

  Don't know if I should ask this here... but... I have a laptop lenovo of 64-bit WIndows 7. Suddenly two weeks, the screen went black... It was working fine until I barely touched to adjust the angle and the screen went away. At startup, I very very VERY vaguely see the Thinkpad logo then nothing. Took it to the repair shop, first of all, they thought it was a problem of backlight, but a new screen OEM does not solve the problem. Now, they say it's probably the motherboard.  New MB costs as much as the computer (it is obviously OQ). It works fine with an external monitor, tho which kind of defeated the purpose of the laptop. Want to just an opinion... is this really very likely the MB or is it something else? Thanks for any info.

  Hello

  You need check the connection between the screen and the motherboard. The connection could have been disconnected with you have changed the angle of the screen. There are tutorials on youtube on how to do it.

• External monitor flickers and send the display to the laptop screen

  I'm running Windows 7 on a ThinkPad. I have an external monitor from ViewSonic VX2433wm I connect and use scope display mode. This all worked fine for many months, and then a few months ago I started having a problem where, after several minutes, the ViewSonic and the computer screen will be time twinkle a few times and then just what is on the ViewSonic flies to the computer screen. I have updated the monitor display drivers and the laptop, but still have the problem. In addition, I discovered by chance yesterday that, even if the external monitor is turned off but connected to the laptop, the screen of the computer, still wobbles. It's driving me crazy!

  Hello

  I suggest you try the following steps:

  Step 1: change display settings also change color depth then test

  Step 2: Flickering of the Correct monitor (refresh rate)

  Try using the display quality problems to solve the problem. It ensures that your video card driver is compatible Windows 7, and checks to see if your color grading, video effects and display settings are correct.

• Screen resolutions possible for external monitors connected to a T60 with ATI Radeon X 1300

  Hello

  at home, I have my Thinkpad T60 with ATI Radeon X 1300 graphics running in a docking station with an external monitor connected to the DVI. I plan to buy a new screen and I wonder who will take care of screen resolutions of my system. My favorite among the possible new monitors have a native resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixels. The ATI chipset will support this setting?

  A big thank you to anyone who displays some tips

  Georg

  It supports dvi up to 1920 x 1200 resolution.
