I need to know if there's a way to run dual monitors?
I want to buy 2 of these bad boys:
Dell ST2210B 22-Inch Full HD Widescreen Monitor - eBay (item 220755576241 end time Apr-15-11 10:39:34 PDT)
Edit:
Did a quick search and you can dual monitors with Display Port and HDMI! Grabbing 2![]()
Edit2:
Is Display Port same as DVI?
-
-
nope, but you can get a dvi->display port or display port -> dvi cable.

I was running 1 23" LED 1920x1080 and 1 23" LCD 1680x1050, and it reduced the performance on the main screen enough that I removed the second LCD for the additional performance gain.
Let me know how it goes, curious to see if it can piggyback both those monitors. -
so I'm pretty sure it will not reduce any performance from just doing daily surfing and word doccing
-
I know the R2 runs it all off of the Intel IGP, but it still should work.
-
I have an M11xR1 which is not an M11xR2 but not much different.
On one monitor you can use your HDMI and on the other you just need a DisplayPort -> HDMI adapter. Given the monitor does have HDMI ports. (Conflicting descriptions)
As an M11xR1 can only connect to external devices when Nvidia is enabled, running two monitors is not a problem.
Have run a HD DVD with audio on each monitor at the same time with no problems at all. M11xR1 Massive.
I have two Dell 24" Full-HD 1920x1200 monitors.
I'm not sure on an M11xR2 what happens when it's potentially running off an Intel GMA chip set (IGP).
I'm sure more than one or two people have tried it on an M11xR2 with some sort of known result. -
DrGoodvibes, so you have 1200p monitors and the m11x outputs 1200p.
I thought the m11x only outputs 1080p.
So you definitely output 1200p twice ? -
See if you can find a HDMI to 2xVGA/DVI port. Thats the only adapter I can think of that would work. No way 335M can support 2xHDMI
-
At any rate, the Intel IGP supports two outputs at any time, including the laptops screen (which is considered one LVDS link). -
Update - What jeremyshaw said, the M11xR2 is about IGP I/O ability and not screen size. I'll shut up now.
Ture...ish...
A HD DVD is 720p. Full-HD is Blu-ray 1080p
Yes definately two 1920x1200 24" IPS monitors(U2410) attached to an M11xR1 and playing a 720p HD DVD on each (with audio). Smooth as silk. M11xR1 NO problem. 16:9 full screen, with black strip top and bottom.
Not tried it with 1080p movies (Blu-ray).
May end in tears playing two 1080p movies on two monitors.
The U2410 is auto-detected via Microsoft Windows Update and the icm and monitor.sys are installed.
Using Nvidia GPU
The digital ports (HDMI/DisplayPort) have a max. resolution of 2560x1600.
On the M11xR1 the VGA port has a max. resolution of 2048x1536.
So bring it on, I'm not even pushing what the M11xR1 can do.
Never heard of 1200p.
There is 1140p (Extreme HD) and 4320p (Ultra high defination)
Update - Sorry didn't see jeremyshaw post, I'm sort of wasting peoples time as an M11xR1 is not part of the solution for the M11xR2. -
Pretty sure I can still dual screen on the R2 with HDMI cable to one monitor and DP to HDMI/DVI to second monitor?
