    Hi, can anyone guide me in using a larger external monitor for a CF-C2 and CF-19 MK3? I know nothing about the technical side of resolutions and monitors

    I think the CF-C2 has a max resolution of 1366 x 768 and the 19 has 1024 x 768 so will i be able to increase either of them to make use of a larger monitor? I don't have one to try and don't want to buy one (second hand) and it not work out. I've seen some talk of getting 1920 x 1200 from a CF-19 but it didn't say how and would that same monitor then work with the C2?

    I hope you can see the gaps in my understanding and fill them in a bit. Many thanks

    The maximum resolution is determined by the graphics card or the graphics chip set, not the laptop's display. Look up your chip set on the Intel web site and you will find the information. The chip set will have no problem handling different resolutions on the laptop monitor and the external display simultaneously. I do it every day on a CF-52 with a 23" Asus IPS external monitor connected to the VGA port on the port replicator.
