I'm not interested in a large resolution (I guess that 1280x800 is enough in a 15" screen) but it seems that the display with this resolution has a smaller view angle (especially vertical) than the 1400x900 display that maybe is not very good if you spend some time reading documents.

I just recently purchased a Dell Latitude E4300 and i'm pretty happy with it overall.
However, i'd like to connect an external monitor to it. I noticed that it only has a VGA port (unless i'm blind), but Dell's website makes many references to it having a DISPLAY-PORT.
It even sells an adapter for this model:

Does this thing have a Display port?
What are the 5 screen resolution options for the Dell Studio 1555 display with a 1900 x 1080 display?
"15.6 Inch Full High Definition(1080p) High Brightness LED Display with TrueLife and Camera/Facial Recognition"
Is 1280 x 800 one of the 5 resolution settings available under the Display Settings? I believe this is the lowest resolution setting where pictures are not distorted and out of proportion. Anything lower, like 1280 x 720, pictures become distorted....
In the hp.com configuration options for the ProBook 4710s, they show 3 options:
1. 17.3-inch diagonal LED-backlit HD+6 (1600 x 900) without camera
2. 17.3-inch diagonal LED-backlit HD+6 (1600 x 900) with camera (must select NQ004AV)
3. 17.3-inch diagonal LED-backlit HD+6 (1600 x 900) BrightView with camera (must select NQ004AV)
I thought LED-backlit was good enough, but option #3 is LED-backlit BRIGHTVIEW... Is this a brighter, "better" screen than option #1 or #2? I'm afraid of ordering this and getting another lemon of a "Brightview" screen like my dv7t screen.
What's "HD+6" ... what does "plus six" do for me ?
I don't see an "NQ004AV" option on the order page, either...
HP is just terrible at explaining these things.
Regarding the keyboard ... it's hard to tell from the pictures at Engadget whether this new chiclet keyboard is backlit or not ... HP doesn't say it is backlit, would be awesome if it was.
I have a 13.3" MBP and a HP LP3065 monitor. At times, I would like to use the monitor for more real estate. I know there is the Apple mini display port to dual-link dvi adapter. Are there any other options that I will be able to use my monitor at 2560x1600 resolution with the MBP?
The reviews for the apple adapter suck and basically all of them have flickering issues. I would hate to buy it, return it, and waste my time on something I know that has a great chance of failure.
I also have Logitech Z-5500 speakers that I would like to use with my Macbook. Would a toslink to mini-toslink cable work?
I have HP pavilion g6 , win 7 64 bit. Amd Radeon HD 7400M series and Intel HD graphics.My problem started when my screen was getting black for seconds alot and when it comes back it said amd stopped so I decided to update the driver. First I downloaded the supported driver from the site URL.... but every time I try installing it the install process run very quickly the screen doesn't even switch during installation and it says driver is successfully installed although nothing was installed and nothing absolutely change.so I decided to download the latest amd driver from amd site14.4. I had some problems while installing but it worked fine and I had all the options including the switchable graphics.
But after a while the laptop started to hang on startup showing a blue screen saying something was incompatible.So I tried to update the driver from device manager and since then I lost all catalyst control center options also the switchable graphics mode and 3D in Photoshop isn't working anymore and every time I close the catalyst a message come saying it stopped working. I tried many times to uninstall the driver then installing a new versin 14.9, the previous 14.4, the supported but still nothing of them worked at all, also I tried installing with win 7 compatibility but it always gets stuck.
I am stuck debating between the 15.4 WLED (1440*900) and the 15.4 non-LED (1920*1200). I am just not sure which I would prefer. If the WLED came in a 1920*1200 option I don't think I would be so concerned.
I really like the size, weight, and potential power savings of the WLED screens but I am used to working on larger monitors (22 and 25 inch) running at higher resolutions.
What does everyone think about these two choices? Will I be happy with the WLED at the smaller resolution or is it better to opt for the traditional screen with the higher resolution?
Just so everyone knows the laptop won't be my primary computer but will get a lot of use while working on graduate work away from home, writing website code, and general use. The only gaming activity it might see is some occasional WoW.
this is my first time posting, and i have a question.
i've heard that later on there will be different color lids for the sxps 13 and 16.
i understand that this is both a studio and an xps, so it makes me wonder if i can have cool designs on the top. i don't know how thats gonna fly with the leather, because black is the only color that i can think of that would go with it.
so heres my question: do you think that dell will release custom, or at least different colors for the sxps? possibly midnight blue, the RED one, white, brown, green. anything. and if you do, when do you think they will release the new options?
im a pretty average college student and i need to replace my laptop, ive deteremined it down to the studio 15 b/c i like its battery life, but i cannot decide what to do about the graphics card
i will put flatly i do not game, however i do run alot of sort of UI fancy up stuff like topdesk, windowsblinds, and so forth, and id like to be able to run aero and output using hdmi
There is no "dell touchpad" tab in my mouse settings which I could use to enable/disable the touchpad in various ways. I installed the driver below which was given to me on this forum, I'm running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.

The feature in Windows 7 that allows you to tell the laptop to stop charging the battery when it's plugged-in and has reached 100% is very cool (and greatly helps prolong the battery's life).

I've had an XPS M1530 for about 1 1/2 years now and still love it.
My friend is planning to purchase a Studio 16 and has asked for some help configuring it.But,
I have no idea which display would be best for her. The reviews I've read all laud the Edge-to-Edge FullHD Widescreen 16.0 inch RGBLED LCD (1920x1080) which bumps the price up $200.
Now, if that results in fantastically crisper & clearer text it would be worth it to her
I am currently looking at the Studio 15 as a laptop for college, and I plan on watching DVDs/Blu Ray movies on it.
Does anyone have the 1920x1200 display that can give an opinion on it, cause I would love to have a 1080p capable laptop, but im a bit hesitant .....
whether the optional WUXGA (1920x1200) display is an LCD or LED? I know the base/standard WXGA (1280x800) is an LCD and the WXGA+ (1440x900) is an LED, which explains why it's a $125 upgrade.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI went to turn on my Studio 1555 this morning about an hour ago, and nothing happened. The power light came on, as did the keyboard backlights, but nothing else. The display stayed off and unlit, and the thing started spewing beeps at me. First a series of three loud beeps: one long beep and two shorter ones (beeeeeep beep beep), a slight pause, and then a series of 6 softer short beeps. Dell's website and service manual have been no help, and I can't seem to find these beep codes anywhere. Also, I ran out of warranty months ago.
I've tried removing the memory sticks, swapping them, relocating them, tried different sticks and different slots, removed the WLAN and Bluetooth cards, and removed the hard drive.
But I'm encountering a big problem, my display is weird (there is some green filter added) in addition Windows 8 does not completely (it stop after the blue logo).
I can see something if I boot on my Ubuntu USB. Even the boot logo have the green filter.
On the others side if I come back to the original disciple screen, all is well. So, at a first sight I think it is not a connector problem or a graphics card problem.
It's a Dell Studio 1555 with a ATI Mobility Radeon 4500....
I've had a Dell Studio 1537 P8400 @ 2.26 GHz with 3 GB ram, Vista 32-bit OS since December last year, and only in the past couple of months have i had a few problems, much to my disappointment that Dell hasn't increased their quality..
I've noticed a little "blemish" behind the screen, like a little cluster of dust 0.5mm in diameter, but its BEHIND the text and graphics...quite strange but such a pain as its in the middle-left of the screen..there's also another, half the size right up the top..
I bought my Studio 1555 laptop about 4 years ago. Recently it has been showing issues of automatic restarts and no booting. Initially the laptop was overheating and fan was running at very high speeds, so I figured it was a cooling issue - so cleaned up the area near the fan and put everything back in carefully. So now that problem is solved, but NO display issue still remains. The laptop power light switches ON, but I don't see any display in the monitor - so I ran the LCD BIST test - and turns out the LCD works just fine. I identified that the items below could be the issues. What I can do to rectify this issue. The system is out of warranty.
1. Connect to an external monitor - but this test would be redundant because we already know that the display is fine with the LCD BIST test.
2. Replace the video card or memory module
3. Replace the motherboard.
I read somewhere that taking out the BIOS battery and putting it back again solved the issue - but I can't understand the reason behind it.
my studio 1747 (not in warranty) (i7 win7),has stopped booting anymore it was working fine till last week ( occasionally my screen does flick in last coupon of month), So when I do turn my system on all upper volumn light flashes from left to right and then right to left and then system turn off itself, during that period screen show no display.
connecting external monitor (TV via hdmi) does work and system boots fine show display on external monitor but no display on system LCD. Something display flicks on external montor also, it happens when my laptop LCD tries to display something (i.e. sometime laptop LCD flicks and sometime it display for few seconds and then go back to Black screen). Also when connect external monitor my mouse pad stops work and sometime works when I connect usb mouse, but when LCD screen start display something, mouse pad also starts work.I tried all stuff, whatever I could find on internet as below
1) Taking battery off and press power button for 1 min.
2) Hold 'D' key and then press power button LCD sometime show some color and then goes back to black.
3) Removed battery and CMOS battery to total drain of charges.
4) Removed keyboard panel and checked LCD display cable and make sure its not loose.
To me it seems like motherboard, graphic card are fine as system is working on external monitor, LCD screen also looks fine as sometime is display and not greying out (its either Black-out or display). As I have also checked cable is properly attached with motherboard, so it can't be loose connection. Don't understand why LCD works sometime.
When i turn on the laptop, display doesn't turn on even when external monitor connected via VGA/HDMI.. I hear CPU Fan sound, keyboard lights on, power light on.

Dell screen would be best visually? My position requires extensive computer use so I need a screen that would be best on the eyes. What i noticed with my current model is that it puts a lot of strain on my eyes. Perhaps it is the brightness, or perhaps it is the actual quality of the screen, in any case I need help selecting an appropriate model for me.
I specifically want to go with dell because I receive a discount through them.
money is not an issue. I primarily use my notebook for MS Office applications, media editing, and web browsing -- occasionally play a game or two or watch a movie.
My current options are Vostro 1320
screen options- 13.3 ultrasharp WXGA LCD w/true life
or, -anti glare 13.3 WXGA.
XPS Studio 13
-Edge to edge 13.3 HD WXGA LCD
-Edge to edge 13.3 HD WXGA Slim WLED LCD
Latitude E4300
-13.3 Wide screen WXGA WLED panel for latitude ON
I bought a Inspiron 1545 in the outlet section, got it for $420 with a coupon I got off ebay.
I got the laptop and I absolutely love it! But there is a problem, the graphics card driver keeps crashing, this is an annoying problem and I think it might progressively get worse, so I'm worried.
My options so far that I can think of are:
Do a complete OS reinstall (can I use my dell cdkey to reinstall vista?)
Send it in to get fixed, if that's the case, what kind of fixing will they do?
Thanks.!
