A8Jm and 1080p monitor

Hey all,

I just placed an order for 1920x1080 (1080p) monitor and I completely forgot about my laptop even SUPPORTING the damn thing. I am going to use it mainly for my Xbox and probably as a small TV. Would my A8Jm be able to output 1080p resolution via DVI or VGA? The video card is a nVidia GeForce Go 7600 512mb.

If so, does it even matter what video card you have to output a display (assuming its not an older on board card)?

I personally think it only matters for Gaming and graphic programs what video card you have for resolutions, while standard browsing and videos are fine with any semi recent card...but then again I don't know too much about displays and video cards.

 

your 7600 can easily output 1080p for videos, web browsing, and other apps on your laptop, gaming will be dragging though.

 

Yes, your A8Jm notebook can output a 1080p resolution without any issues however, as motok suggested, gaming (especially with new and graphically intensive games) will lag at that resolution.

 

I have my Intel GMA 950 hooked up to my 1920x1080 TV via VGA, and it plays videos fine; so GeForce 7600, no problem.

 

Wicked. thanks guys.

I don't really plan on gaming that much, and definitely not new games. Maybe the newest game I might ever play would be Guild Wars or CS Source, unless I bring it to LANing and play SWAT4 or Rise of Nations.

 

cs source should play fine just keep aa and af down. I just bought css again after 2 years off and its awesome, I just need to get my skills back lmao

 

Hey guys,

I just got my monitor! It looks awesome. I just switched from a 17'' massive CRT to a 23'' ASUS LCD My model is the VH236H. link

I was just wondering, how would I search for bright dots/dead pixels? My laptop screen has some (very noticeable and obvious) but on new products I hear people spotting 1 or 2 dead pixels. Is there an easy way to spot them? I tried loading a blank white background and just looking at all angles and i don't really see any.

 

Persuasion,

Most people will be able to spot a dead or stuck pixel immediately after about a few minute of use with their monitor. However, there is a program called Dead Pixel Buddy that helps your monitor cycle through different color schemes so it would be easier to identify defected pixel.
