    Hey guys,

    Just got my L702x but I cant get my external 30" Dell 3008WPF to show max resolution 2560x1600, I'm using display port which worked with my Alienware m17x.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    i'm sure someone will come along that can give a better answer

    i have NOT used an external monitor however someone posted something about the display port defaulting to using the Intel Graphics (assuming your not using a 3D model with Optimus disabled)

    So maybe you have to do something to tell it to use the Nvidia card maybe
