Dell :: E6400 + E-Port Plus + Samsung LCD + LCD

Oct 8, 2008

just got my new E6400 and I am having a problem with dual external displays. My displays are:

Samsung 204B (20", 1600x1200)
Dell 1708FP (17", 1280x1024)

The problem is the samsung only works using an analog VGA cable. If I even plug in the DVI cable, the samsung will not detect any output from the laptop/dock. I have tried installing the samsing display drivers, but that did not fix the issue. This was not a problem on my old thinkpad T41 that this new dell replaced, so although possible, I doubt the monitor has suddenly developed a bad DVI port.

If I use the Dell as the primary with the samsung hooked up using both cables, I can see two instances of the samsung, it just won't display anything until I pull the DVI cable.

My E6400 has the NVidia NVS 160 card. Running Vista 64 with the 64-bit NVidia drivers from Dell.

Dell :: E6400 E-Port DVI

May 8, 2010

I've just received a work Dimension E6400 with E-Port Replicator. I have two Dell 2001FP (max res 1600x1200) monitors that I have connected to the VGA port and the DVI port on the E-Port Replicator.

On the VGA connected monitor, I get 1600x1200 resolution. On the DVI-connected one, I can NOT get 1600x1200 (even with 16-bit color on one or both monitors). On DVI, I can only get max 1280x1024 or 1440x900.

I have tried all kinds of combinations but I can't get 1600x1200 out of the DVI. My E6400 has all the latest specs (I've checked) such as the latest BIOS, latest chipset (incl. graphics).

1. Is the E6400 capable of driving two 1600x1200 displays?

2. If I get a DVI to VGA converter and connect to VGA ports on both monitors, will I be able to get 1600x1200 on both?

3. If I buy a E-Port Plus Replicator and connect both monitors to the two VGA ports on that, will that give me 1600x1200 on both?

4. My old Dell monitors don't have DisplayPort connections (just DVI and VGA). Is there some way that I can connect the DisplayPort, on the E-Port, to a VGA monitor?

Dell :: E6400 And E-Port Plus Dual External Display

Jul 21, 2009

I've got a co-worker that just got an E6400 and E-Port Plus docking station with 130W power supply.

The machine is running 32-bit Windows XP with an nVidia Quadro NVS 160m and she has two Dell 2001FP monitors connected to the DVI ports on the docking station.

I can't seem to get dual displays on the external monitors. With the laptop closed and docked, the machine only recognizes one of the monitors that is plugged in to the dock.

Dell :: E6400 & E-port Plus & 2 External Monitors & Laptop Display?

Apr 2, 2009

So I've just got a e6400 for e-port plus.

Is it possible to have two external monitors AND the laptop display all running at the same time? If so how?

Even better would be this: I have two external monitors - both vga with no DVI (oh well). Can I get this working?

Dell :: Can My E6400 With NVidia Gfx Output Audio Over Display Port

Nov 23, 2009

I know there are users who have been able to get sound out of their E6400s over Displayport, but all the users i have heard from and read about this from have had integrated intel video. Are there any E6400 with nVidia quadro nvs160 users that have successfully gotten digital audio out through the displayport using a displayport --> HDMI cable?

Dell :: Do You Have An E-port Or E-port Plus Replicator

Apr 5, 2010

Thinking about getting one to go with my m4500 which is on order. Reviews seem ok though some complain it's bulky and other complained the release mechanism wasn't great. Worst was that someone said their comp wouldn't boot when docked.

Can anyone share experience and/or high res pics of what one looks like?

Dell :: Samsung SSD Trim

Feb 20, 2010

I have been looking around for the answer to this but I'm still not sure.

I downloaded HwInfo32 and it says my firmware version is "Drive Revision: VBM24D1Q"

And then below it shows "TRIM Command: Supported (Indeterminate Read After TRIM)"

Does this mean mine already has the trim firmware?

Dell :: Samsung LED 1330

Nov 6, 2008

i currently have two 1330s... one with LED and one with CCFL

The LED is a toshiba LCD2306, the CCFL an AUO Optronics, the CCFL looks MUCH better which seems to me total nonsense since the LED is supposed to be better in all aspects.

I will be contacting customer service. Should i be asking specifically for the samsung LED?

Dell :: Samsung SSD In Studio XPS 16

I was wondering if anyone else has the 128GB Samsung SSD in their Studio XPS 16 and having stuttering issues?. Lately I have been having a lot of stuttering issues in which the mouse cursor freezes up.

Also, anyone running Windows 7 on it? I cant seem to get higher than 5.9 as the HD score under WEI. Anyone got a higher score?

Dell XPS M1330 :: Can't See New Samsung SSD 840

Jan 16, 2013

Just bought a Samsung SSD 840 series 500GB drive to improve the performance of my Dell m1330. Placed the 840 in a HDD - USB adaptor and migrted the OS to it. Unfortunately the bios can't see the new SSD even though the 840 should be backward compatible with SATA I and II. The bios revision in my m1330 is A15 and I have tried both ATA mode and ACHI mode without any succes. Tried the drive in another m1330  same thing but when trying with a Packard Bell the SSD works fine. Have any of you succesfully added a SSD 840 to your m1330

Dell :: Just Had My Grainy Samsung Replaced..

Jan 14, 2009

I had a 1680x1050 Glossy LCD (SEC3350). I called up and Dell, jumped through the hoops and eventually had them send me a replacement LCD. I called the tech this morning and asked him who manufacturer was, he said LG..

I was ecstatic. In my excitement forgot to check that the sticker on the LCD infact said WXGA+ across the front.

Dell replaced my WSXGA+ screen with WXGA+

The screen quality itself is really good, but there are two things I'd like clarified before I place my replacement order again.

Dell :: 128 Samsung SSD With SXPS 16 Question?

Oct 13, 2009

I am planning on buying my Studio XPS 16 as soon as Win7 comes out and i really want a SSD with it. Unfortunately, Dell only sells the Samsung SSD drive which has been getting so much negative press lately on Anandtech.

So my question is, what should i do?!?! Do i give up my dream and instead go with a standard Hard drive for now, or take a chance with the Samsung SSD

Dell :: M1730 And Samsung Monitor

Oct 9, 2008

my system spec are in the sig and its attached to a t260HD model monitor. When ever i have SLI enabled, yellowy orange colors causer my pixels to shift left and then return to their normal position a the screen refresh rate, so its like they are ion both places at the same time, just blinky for a lack of a better word. Now this does not happen on my regular laptop screen, and when i disable SLI this does not happen either, I just got new 8800m GTX SLI from dell because that was thought to be the problem but its still continues, Ive changed alot of drivers does not seems to be doing anything for me, going to try the tweakforce ones soon. I was thinking maybe my DVI cable is bad? Test that out before i test other monitors. Was just reaching out for any ideas about this problem, would just like my monitor to hands down work =/

OK quick update, now that i have new cards i put the original Dell baddy drivers on and its not doing it..but thats is very strange...why would a driver make an only SLI and only external Monitor issue......and on another note i really cant stay on this driver, i get SLI hitching issues in eq2 with it crysis runs better on single GPU mode, i need to find a driver that does not cause this....also i found a tendency for my white colors to turn yellow on my laptop monitor from drivers at the same time i would be having the tearing if i was on my large monitor, but on the stock one i can close the lid and open it again and the whites go back to the right color...

Dell :: Samsung 226BW And 1710

Feb 23, 2008

I can setup my display on my samsung 226bw so that it is the only display and that the internal lcd is turned off. It displays fine at 1680x1050.

However when I restart the laptop and get to windows the signal the laptop seems to send out is 1280x1024 (which the monitor reports). Windows still sets the desktop at 1680x1050 and the result is a desktop that is oversized for the monitor.

I can correct this by turning off the laptop, disconnecting the monitor, restarting the laptop and then reconnecting the monitor.

I can't figure out why it does this?

I have the Dell 1710 with 7900GTX and am using the NBF Mobileforce drivers v169.09 M4 drivers under xp pro.

I have also installed the drivers for the monitor as well.

Dell :: Samsung PM800 Performance Issues

Jan 24, 2010

I have this SSD in my xps1645. I have noticed that the performance has degraded and my windows experience index is 5.9 (originally 7.4). To my knowledge the firmware I have supports TRIM: VBM24D1Q. I have been using this for over a month, and have about 90GB of free space. Also I have another laptop with the same 256GB SSD drive, and the WEI is 7.4. I also ran PC Mark vantage on both, and the xps1645 has half the score of what my other laptop has. Any explanations or fixes for this?

Dell :: Samsung SSD RBX Series 1 Considered Slow Now

Oct 31, 2009

Is the 120GB Samsung SSD that came with my M4400 considered slow by comparison to other SSDs now? I can't find any particular specs or comparisons that use this drive, but when I see other drives getting 200MB+/second, I know I'm not getting anything near that.

Also, is this a "first generation" drive that doesn't take advantage of Trim in Windows 7, etc.?

Also, I've tried searching for new drivers and firmware, but I don't see anywhere. I have Windows 7 64 on it now, and I've experienced a few BSODs, which is why I'm looking into possible driver/firmware causes. (Though I was also getting these occasionally in Vista 64.)

Dell :: D600 + Samsung 160GB PATA

Nov 27, 2008

That seems like a really slow place, since I have already ordered a drive last Friday off Amazon, based upon what I have read on this site:

1 of Samsung Spinpoint M Series HM160HC 160GB PATA-100 5400RPM Laptop/Notebook Hard Drive - OEM

The outstanding question, I suppose, is wondering if this drive is going to work because it exceeds 120 GB. I also read around here of a larger drive being used than what another model's BIOS supported, where it just recognized as much as it could, so that wasn't a problem (there).

It's a Latitude D600. Its a 160 GB PATA drive. I got it for $75 w/o shipping.

At the dell forums, the thread is still there, and its the only post I've put there, but they say now that my email address is not in their database?

This site is 1000 times that one for me so far.

Dell :: TRIM Support W/ Current Samsung SSD

Oct 27, 2009

So I was still confused about whether or not the SXPS Samsung SSDs would be able to accept the future firmware update (and thus be able to support TRIM). I contacted Dell's tech support via email and was told that the drives will support TRIM (though on 2 occasions he called it TRIP). I am not inspired by his lack of knowledge regarding the proper term and dont think that he is right. If I save the email would this help my case of getting a SSD from Dell in the future that does actually support TRIM?

Dell :: Best LCD Panel For 9400: Samsung, Philips LG

Sep 6, 2008

I need to swap out the LCD panel on an Inspiron 9400. It's the TrueLife high res (WUXGA?) 1920x1200. The current panel looks bright but a bit washed out.

Someone mentioned that there are multiple vendors for the panel, and that some are better than others. Dell said that their records show that my system has Philips/LG whatever that means (I didn't think the two companies were affilated, are they?)

Dell :: [E6500][esata][RAID Port Multiplier] Raid 1 Enclosure Not Regnosized Using The Esata Port

Mar 5, 2009

Here's my story and, let's say, my analysis:

I bought a generic 2 HD sata2 RAID1 enclosure based on the chipset Silicon Image SteelVine 5744. It can be used in USB or eSATA2. This embedded chipset (named SiL5744) is known (understand "claimed") to auto-handle Sata I/II and host sata2 controllers that not support the port multiplier feature. The HD are two Samsung F1 1To. There's no jumper to rollback to SATA 1.5Go on them, you can only do it by flashing the HD's bios, however we don't need to do it as I wrote just before, the SiL5744 supports SATA 3Go natively.

The enclosure works pretty well with USB, but *not* in eSATA : the E6500 freezes/hangs just after the POST step (a potential driver issue with the installed vista 64bits is not the reason then). As soon has I disconnect the eSATA cable, the system recovers and continues as normal.

What I've tried/done so far :

Both E6500's BIOS SATA mode AHCI and IRRT mode were tested,
Intel Matrix driver and software was updated to the latest 8.7.0.1007 version (AHCI and IRRT),
The SiL5744 chip was upgraded to its latest firmware as well (in case of...)

In order to verify the esata cable, the HDs and the enclosure itself, I succeed to :

- Use the enclosure's RAID1 feature when using the USB connection, I could partition,format, and read/write on the logical volume
- directly connect *one* HD (Samsung F1 1To) to the E6500's esata port -(I have a sata2esata cable), Vista installed it and I was able to use it as normal, even the hotswap feature seemed to work fine (I unkindly removed it). I could so test both HD individually this way... On the enclosure hardware side, everything looks fine then.

An IMPORTANT thing : The E6500's ICH8/9-M sata host controller seems to support the Port Multiplier feature *ONLY* on sata port 0 -as a bubble message from the Intel Matrix soft sometimes shows up-, but this is exactly where the internal HD is plugged on the motherboard I found nowhere you can change the internal sata port ID (switch,bios,ect...). I think this is the key of the problem that seems to be a dumb port conflict, because the esata port is in fact the port sata 4 (the DVDRW drive is sata 1, dock's esata is 5 for instance). If somebody knows how to swap the sata port ID, I think I won't be toasted !

Dell :: Lattitude E4200 Toshiba Vs Samsung LED Panel

Apr 26, 2009

I've been researching the Lattitude E4200 and was wondering if people could chime in with more information about the screens available on the E4200.

I know that for the E6400, there is a lot of talk about screens, but it seems like there isn't for the E4200. I've read the few posts that there are regarding the two options that are available: Toshiba and Samsung.

Is there a general consensus of which one is higher quality? Does anyone have side by side comparison pictures? The information that I've read through is pretty scant in terms of not having many responses.

Dell :: Precision M4400 WXGA+ LED Screen: Samsung Vs. LG (with Pics)

Oct 7, 2008

after reading some post about the better display for the WXGA+ on the M4400, I could hardly belief that someone that only saw the Samsung screen claims the LG screen is the worse one. In the past the LG screen were the better ones. Even in the other notebooks of the E-Series the LGs are the better screens, so I went and searched someone with the a M4400 but a different screen manufacturer.

Dell Precision M3800 :: BIOS Does Not Recognize Samsung MSata

I'm trying to install an extra Samsung 840 evo mSata in my new m3800 but the BIOS does not recognize the disc. I tried 2 840 msata both with same result not recognized. 

Changed several settings in BIOS:

- disabled Intel Smart Technology- SATA operations to AHCI- Secure boot disabled- load legacy option enabled

Does the Samsung mSata is supported in an m3800?
