    Hi,
    Just ordered the notebook above, whilst tinkering about with Aunts desktop discovered the ongoing issues people are having with nvidia GPUs not scaling to widescreen monitors and wondered if this affects their mobile GPUs too?

    Given this and that mine ships with 128MB onboard memory, what would be the largest supported resolution for an external monitor?

    Currently have a 19" widescreen (1440*900 native) so hoping it will cope with that at least...?

    Help appreciated,

    Thanks.

    I'll try to help but I don't quite remember. Hooked up to my 40" LCD TV and I set it up ****x1080. I think it could have gone up one more notch, but I don't quite remember.

    Needless to say, it was sufficiently at a high res to show photos to my guests.

    It can easily handle 1080p and probably even more. Resolution's going to be limited by the monitor or television.
