Latitude E6510 max external resolution?

Hello,

I'm buying a E6510 and would like to know if it can display a 1920 x 1200 resolution to an external monitor? I've order it with the 512MB NVIDIA NVS 3100M and the specs on NVidia's site say it can but I was wondering if anyone can confirm this? Also what problems will i run into switching back and forth between the native 1920 x 1080 the laptops LCD display and the external monitors 1920 x 1200. I'm guessing icons will keep getting shifted around.

Thanks!

 

I can assure you that the E6500 can display 1920x1200 on an external screen. And I can tell you that my 4 years old Fujitsu Siemens with Intel GMA 950 can do that as well. So I'm pretty sure the E6510 will do it too.

As for the switching, yes icons will move if they are in the affected area. What you do is give or take 120 pixels from/to the desktop. So icons might move, windows will be resized and so on. Programs that rely on a fixed resolution, like full screen games might run into trouble if you switch the display while they are running.

 

Yeah just about any GPU since like 2003 should be capable of doing 1920x1200.

 

I confirm that the current crop of notebooks should have no problem with that resolution. However, you may need to use the DisplayPort to get a decent signal.

VGA can handle 1920x1200@60hz with no problems. Only issues may come from interference. If possible use display port.

 

I'm running 2560 x 1600 on E6400 and E6500 systems no problem. And yes shifting from 19 x 10 and 19 x 12 will simply shuffle some icons, no other problems should arise.
