    Hello all,

    I've read that the maximum resolution for an external display plugged to a Vaio TX2 was 1600x1200, whatever the Vaio's screen on or off.

    I'm a bit surprised as the Intel 900 chipset is designed for 2048x1536.

    Could someone confirm (or not) I couldn't use a 24" screen with 1920x1600 ?

    Thank you.

    Thank you clintb,

    So if you try, could you tell me if there's some different between dual screen or single ?

    Are you referring to having both displays active at the same time?
