    Want to buy an LCD Monitor for my SZ (Dont have SZ Dock station, and dont want to buy it.) and connect it to SZ's VGA port. But, some people told that there is a limit in Resolution in such connection type, if so, tell what max. resolution is supported in VGA connection?

    I use a VGA connection with a HP w2207 1680*1050 screen. The image quality is perfect. I would not go larger than that on VGA.

    1) yes the same
    2) VGA cable
    3) It will work but it will look ugly. A LCD should be tun in it's native resolution.

    Connecting a 24" LCD with 1920*1200 resolution is a bit of a gamble, it may work but quality may not be optimal.

    I would recommend not going larger than 22". But I must say i have never tried it myself. Maybe some people did and can comment on it.
