FZ-190 - questions about using external display

Hey everyone, first post here!

I'm considering between 3 laptops- the Dell m1330, MBP 15", and the Sony FZ-190.


I went in to the Apple store and almost purchased the MBP, but walked out with nothing instead. I still can't get myself to fall in love with it.

I am a graphic designer currently using a Sony desktop PC with a 23" Sony LCD monitor (SDM-P234/B) with a resolution of 1900x1200 via DVI.

Will the 8400 video card that comes with the FZ-190 be able to output that same screen resolution on my external monitor? If so, i also noticed that there is an output for HDMI- is there a cable that goes from HDMI to DVI?

Also, are there Matte and Glossy versions of the FZ190 screen? I can't stand the glossy, and i didn't see it specified anywhere on the sonystyle site.


Thanks guys.

Yes, the FZ's 8400M GT graphics card will be able to output those resoltuions to your external monitor. You can buy a HDMI to DVI cable from any computer store. The FZ only comes in glossy screen.

 

thanks for the info. unfortunatley i think i'm gonna have to go with the MBP. i can't believe all these PC manufacturers are jumping the glossy-screen bandwagon just for sales without giving the option for a matte screen. i really wanted this Sony too.
