From: tolgan on 5 May 2010 16:53 I have a Dell Inspiron 1750 which drives just fine my Dell 2407 1920 X 1200 monitor if I connect via the VGA socket on the laptop. But I want to buy a docking device, I haven't found one rated at that resolution? [BTW if you don't know, but know of another place worth asking I would be grateful to know?]

As the laptop has the GPU (which determines the VGA output) and not the docking station. Back many years ago, docking stations also had hard drives and video cards. But that was like in the 90's. I don't think anybody does it that way anymore. I am by the way actually using a docking station with this computer right now. You could try asking in the Dell newsgroup and they would know better than I for a Dell. alt.sys.pc-clone.dell -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - Windows XP SP3

The resolutions I forgot. Price was about 50 Euros. .. -- .................................................................... http://twitter.com/aribertdeckers http://twitter.com/kidmed_de http://twitter.com/kidmed_de http://twitter.com/aribertdeckers ....................................................................

Thanks guys. After more research there definitely seem to be devices out there that support 1920X 1200, though some only do 16 bit colour. As you say, you'd hope dockstation would just pass through from the laptop... Will follow up on your suggestions |
