    well, VGA theoretically doesn't have a maximum resolution, but the Aspire One's components obviously aren't exactly top-notch. still, i think 1680x1050 should work just fine.

    on a side note, LOL @ hooking a 22" LCD to a 8.9" Aspire One :D

    you'll be fine. I'm pretty sure the max external resolution is something like 2048x1536. I've done 1680x1050 before with AA1.

    Hi guys, i just bought a 19" samsung LCD, but i can't change the resolutions. Is there a way to extend the desktop? or am i only allow to mirror?

    when i select "show my desktop only on the external display" the maximum resolution it allows me is 1024x768, is it possible to change it to at least 1280 x 800?

    thanx
