    Hi I just bought the Clevo M72R with my Intel graphics card, but when connected with my external display the quality lacks a lot.
    I see like some lines "shaking" like the cable wasn't well connected, is difficoult to explain. I use latest intel drivers (7.14.10.1437) and vista business.

    Is this normal? :(

    what connection are you using?
    what kind of external display?

    refresh should be 60Hz for most external displays by default.

    So the problem seems to be the bad quality of the VGA? is this possible?

    I would contact your vendor to see if others with the same notebook has the same issue... because there should be a fix if everyone is experiencing this.

    I've solved the problem. My problem was the VGA cable. I bought a goo quality one (thick cable) at 15pin HD and now I see well.
