Hi All,
Does anyone know if the W3J can output to an external LCD like the Dell 24" (1900 x 1200) without any problems? The reason I ask is I currently have it hooked up to a Samsung 22" 226BW (1680 x 1050) via VGA, and there is ripples going up the screen when I move a window infront of a grey background.

Im curious
By 'ripples' do you mean you can see the screen-refresh lines moving upwards? -

There are two possibilities:
1 - grounding problem (search), but if it is still visible on battery power, then it is not it
2 - you need to check manual, and perform sync of monitor and laptop, for example on my Asus PW201 I need to hold "S" button for 5 seconds, and the lines are gone
3 - maybe the cables are of bad quality -
I have been having the exact same problem... It's a grounding problem for me, how do i fix this? I have it attached to a surge protector

Well, this looks like an issue with the X1600. I tested the Samsung 226BW with a very ancient ATI9200 video card via VGA, and there is no ripples. Hmmm...

Have you tried adjusting some of the display settings on the screen? On my Dell 20", same resolution as your samsung, there is an option to adjust phase. I'm sure the option is called something else on a samsung lcd. Some other simple stuff, update video drivers to the most recent and make sure the laptop is outputting at 60hz. Also, check the problems lucasd discussed, laptop grounding, syncing and bad vga cable.
I don't have any problems like that on the 20" I use. Just remember not to close your laptop while playing games, it will overheat.
Goodluck =). -
For grounding problems make sure both things are connected to the same surge protector.

It turns out that it is a grounding issue! Glad its not the LCD or W3J at fault.
