    Anyone have any experience with the new T61p not actually having the capability of displaying 1920x1200 on the laptop lcd? I have the Nvidia 570m, but can only display 1650x1080 on the laptop LCD, and can display 1920x1200 on an external monitor. NOT HAPPY!

    Well, what LCD do you have. If you purchased a T61P with a WSXGA+, then 1650x1080 is the max resolution for that LCD. If you purchased a T61P with WUXGA+ then the max is 1920x1200 for that LCD. Not all T61P's are sold with the WUXGA+ LCD. The fact that you have an Nvidia 570m is irrelevant. The Nvidia 140M is capable of WUXGA+ 1920x1200 when paired with the equivalent LCD.

    It's like saying, "My 80GB hard drive will only hold 80GB, but my external hard drive will hold 250GB. NOT HAPPY!" huh :confused:

    If you are certain that your laptop was ordered with a WUXGA+/1920x1200 LCD then call Lenovo to get it straightened out.

    Yea, you probably ordered the WSXGA+. Many GPUs can ouput 1920 x 1200 to an external monitor, even if the laptop LCD native resolution is only 1280 x 800.

    There is nothing wrong with your laptop, I am sure you just got what you ordered. Nothing to be upset about.

    Now, if for some reason your screen really is WUXGA+ (which I doubt), you have ever right to be upset, and need to call Lenovo, but I really don't think this is the case.
