    I just bought the docking station for my SZ650N/C and can only get the DVI to work under Speed mode. I am running it a 24" Samsung T240HD at a resolution of 1920 x 1200. Anyone get their docking station to work with DVI under Stamina mode?

    Yep, SPEED mode only for using the docking station to output video through DVI.

    DVI on a Docking station will only work in speedmode because it will require for the NVidia Graphics card to run.
