if I have a 30" Monitor lying around the house, will I be able to use the screen to its native resolution (2560 x 1600) or will it only max out at 1600 x 900 or 1920 x 1080 (1080p)?
View 7 RepliesI recently just purchased and received a fancy Dell e6400 from one of the many dell deals. My eyes are light sensitive from looking at many computer screens over the years and due to this I avoid LCD screens and much prefer flat CRT monitors. My goal is to use the e6400 as my workstation computer while using the VGA out to power my 19in Sony CRT .....

i tried using an external monitor and the monitor refused to turn on from standby, a safety feature of the monitor. the small card in the underneath with 2 wires leading 2 the monitor, (i assume that is the laptop version of a graphics card) is fine, inserted properly, and i had a slight issue with the plugs fitting, but that was soon resolved.
I just bought 22" LCD monitor (LG m2294A). It has HDMI in, DVI in, and VGA. I tried connecting my Vaio SR to it with an HDMI cable. Sadly, it didnt work, the monitor displayed a message saying "out of range". In the monitor's user manual I later noticed that HDMI-PC mode is "not supported".
It does however support DVI-PC mode. So my question is, has anyone tried using one of those HDMI-DVI cables to connect their SR's to a DVI monitor? I have read online that going from HDMI to DVI isn't as simple as going from DVI to HDMI. I would really hate to have to connect to the monitor via VGA since I want to get use out of my HDMI out. While I wait for my cable to get here, I would like to read about your experiences in the matter.
I want to buy an external monitor for my sony z590. I was wondering what resolution the graphics card on the laptop can support. I want to maintain the same 16:9 aspect ratio, so i'm looking at monitors with 1600x900 or 2048x1152.
Does anyone have any experience with this? The only reason I'm looking at the 2048x1152 is because I want to have the same clarity and sharpness on the monitor as I do on the laptop screen.
What is wrong with my vaio VGN SZ 484N? Everytime I plug it into a monitor, the monitor has a pink screen. All the monitors including my new Bravio 32 inch TV/ monitor cannot have a problem. It must be something to do with the vaio settings for the monitors I plug into?
I have tried all the display setting bits and pieces and nothing helps. If I reset or tick white balance reset on all the monitors contols it is fixed whilst I am holding the button and then reverts to pink screen when I release. Definitely being determined by the VAIO.
I have an HP DV 6000T. I just bought a HP Elite M9510f Desktop from HP.com, and I don't have a monitor yet, so I am trying to connect my Desktop VGA to my Laptop VGA in and use my DV6000T as a monitor.
I also have a Sharp TV which I tried using as a monitor but the thing keeps flashing the Power and OPC lights and won't let me see anything.
Anyway I can make my Laptop monitor work with my desktop for the time being?
I'm looking to get an external monitor for my z series.
1. Is it best to get an HDMI monitor - what are the advantages over a standard monitor?
2. Will the graphics card be able to power more than my current 1600x900 res?
3. I'm looking for a good 21-24 inch monitor, thinking about Samsung,
4. I'm assuming running dual monitors is out of the question?
I'll just list the details below, kind of says it all. other than the fact that I am going crazy trying to getthe back light to work under Windows again.

Monitor works up until Windows loads.
Monitor works when running Ubuntu. Repeated 3 times
Monitor works when at C: prompt.
External monitor works when plugged in to port.
If I look hard enough I can see my desk top on the screen so I know it’s there
Have run System Restore 6 times from restore disc that were made on first use.
Have run System Restore 3 times by pressing the F10 key.
BIOS was still at default values, but I reset it anyway
Windows XP Home SP2 and is completely up to date.
All drivers are as current as I could find.
Windows indicates all drivers are working properly.
Refresh rate is at 60HZ.
I know the monitor works as it works fine with Ubuntu. However I cannot run one of the primary applications
I need to use under Ubuntu so I have to have Windows loaded.
I just picked up a Z laptop. Got the docking station the VGP-PRZ1. The dock has a vga and DVI connector. When I connect two monitors to the dock the software will only allow me to turn one on. I get an error "this gpu only supports a single display"
Does that mean I can not use 2 external monitors?
I am trying to use an extra monitor at work (in extended desktop mode, not clone mode) so that I can use by the laptop's display and the extra external display.
The external monitor is 24" with native resolution of 1920x1200. It works great when hooked to my desktop or other machines.
When I hook it to the laptop, it becomes fuzzy and slightly blurry. Not horribly, but enough to hurt your eyes and make you not want to use it. Anyone had this problem? I've tried several different cables to eliminate that as an issue, but like i said - it works fine when hooked to my desktop.
I just ordered a Vaio Z590 and am deciding what monitor(s) to order to go with it.
Specifically, I was wondering if it would drive a 30" monitor (2560x1600). The 9300m graphics card specs appear to support it, but I've heard that the Z supports only up to 1920x1200. I'm getting the docking station too,
If not, I was thinking of dual 24", but I've read that no one has gotten the Z to work with multiple external monitors either; is this true? In another post someone recommended the Matrox Triplehead2Go, but that doesn't appear to support 2 external monitors at 1920x1200 resolution + the internal screen.
When I attach an LG 22" 1920x1080 monitor it eventually starts to slow down. Video won't load properly, the mouse starts jerking, etc. This is the secing F-11 I've had this issue with. I don't see memeory leakage but I have 8 gigs of ram, I loaded drivers carefully, and checked each, but the heck of it is that the laptop works perfectly when I remove the monitor. Could it be the monitor itself? It works with my SR & AW. Both are Vista machines though.

I have 2 identical VAIO laptops. Sorry don't remember the model. If important
I will check when come home. But they are last year model core 2 duo.
Silver ones
One of laptops fall down. The screen is not functionning (just all kind of lines).
It goes to windows prompt( I can see background of login box.
When I connect external screen, there is no output signal.
First, I thought that something is really wrong with the board. FN F7 make no changes.
But I decided to connect external screen to my second identical laptop.
And it not gives any external signal. But when I login to windows I can switch to external with FN F7.
Looks like F7 is managed by software inside the Windows.
Logically output from the laptop should be during the boot.
What are my options? Don't want to put a nice hardware in the garbage.
I just bought a used but fully working Vaio VGN-FW11e with a cracked screen (got it for a good price). The lcd-panel had been removed but the lid is intact. The cracked screen didn't bother me since I planned to have it permanently hooked up to my projekter using the VGA-output.
The problem is that it doesn't seem to turn on the VGA-out before Windows has loaded, i.e. it is impossible to see the POST/loading of BIOS. When trying to restore Windows to its factory settings (since the old owner had left all his files and folders all over the place) using the Vaio Recovery Center something went wrong and now I'm left with a dead system.
When turning the computer on I can hear and see what seems like a proper POST, i.e. the hard drive spinning, the dvd drive spinning etc. But a few seconds after start, when it's supposed to start loading Windows it just stay still, most likely with some kind of error message.
I desperately need to be able to activate the VGA out during BIOS to be able to reinstall Windows. According to Sony this is not possible. But it sound almost silly since every other laptop I have had has been able to output a picture to VGA directly during POST. Is there some way since the obvious Fn-F7 doesn't work?
I just submitted an order for a new vaio z and while waiting for it I thought I'd look into getting a nice external monitor for home use. After reading through the forum, I can't find any report of a vaio z owner successfully attaching an external monitor with a resolution of more than 1920 x 1200 (due to no dvi-dl compatibility). Specifically, I was hoping to get a 30" 2560 x 1600 monitor.
Is it safe to conclude that it is impossible to connect a 2560 x 1600 external monitor to my new vaio z?
I'm debating what LCD monitor to get between
20" 1600 x 900
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824005128
and
23" 1920 x 1080
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824005125
I know that i'll have a better performance with the 20" since it's using the lower resolution but how much of a decrease in performance would i see if i hooked it up to the 23" and it's native resolution? I'll be playing some what intensive games.
If I change the monitor of my dell inspiron b120 a bigger screen, like the b130 which is a little bigger.....
Do I need to do something else or just unplug, swap, plug in and ready to work?
I have a problem with my dell e1705 laptop. I was trying to set up an external monitor, after installing the drivers that came with the monitor i couldn't get the laptops internal monitor to start back up. I tried restarting with the external monitor unplugged but the laptops screen just glows with no picture. can anyone tell me how to enable my internal monitor? Only the external monitor shows up when i try to switch displays in the nvidia controlpanal.

Will be used for
-Light gaming, but i definately want a low 'response time'
-Watching movies
-Browsing internet
My main questions are.
-what is a good 'response time'?
Ive seen 2ms, 5ms as the lowest times and im guessing these times are more than reasonable for playin a few games.
-Will a 7900GS be strong enough to handle displaying a resolution of say 1600x1200 or 1920x1200 and play a game or two w/o any issues?
I wish I had found this place before I purchased my new Dell, I had an old dell xps laptop maxed out and never had an issue with it and after 4 years sold it on ebay for 800.00. bad decision.
What to do what's done is done, my question is, On my old dell xps i use to use a program to monitor the temp and was able to bring it down 3 degrees by changing the thermal compound.
Before I do anything with this beautiful looking studio xps. I would like to know if and what people are using to monitor the temperature. I have installed speedfan and it seems ok but as we all know with dell systems they like to make it difficult for us to monitor the temps.
I checked the logs on speedfan and did not see anyone else posting settings for the studio xps .....
Maybe someone had similar problem as I do and will be able to help/advice me. I usually connect my D630 laptop to monitor, but now its messed up,
if I open pic/video or just after few hours my pc crashes I need to disconnect monitor and use just laptop but it cuts view into two parts and displays 2 same windows
( Nuotrauka0119.jpg ) I usally have to restart many times and hit Fn+F8 to get to normal condition
I am trying to run dual monitors on a d630 with Intel 965 video and the laptop, after reboot, will not hold its settings.
It always wants to revert back the VGA screen as primary and ignores the second DVI monitor.
I have tried undocking and removing the dock profile so it can re-establish it but no success.
I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 purchased in 2005, running Windows XP SP3. Just recently my video screen started turning off after a few minutes from logging in. I have tried using the function key along with thr F8 button, but it does not seem to work.

View 5 Replies View Relateda couple of months ago my brother bought a big HDTV to use as a TV and a monitor. To me it didn't look good at all, it's hard to describe but it just didn't look proper. Since then we recently got one for the living room too, and I have to say I'm very disappointed. It looks the same as my brothers, kind of fuzzy, like the FPS isn't as good, and rather pixelly :S and this is when watching TV. Our old school TV looked 10 times better. Also, when hooked up to my M1710 it looks absolutely horrible, even at 1900 res.
