Widescreen Monitor with Laptop. Possible?

thedougster

Hi I am about to by a 19in widescreen monitor as advised on the grabbit board. However I am worried that my laptop cant suport it.

I have a Dell Latitude D610 and when i look in the displayes tab it doesn't mention the 1400 x 900 that the screen is. I only have 1400 x 1050 that is near that.

So my question is will it work? Is there drivers I can download that will allow me to get what is required? I do notice that I have the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator installed. Is that 1400 x 900 ratio possible through that?

Sorry if this doesn't read easily but it is clear in my head....lol

Table 10-13.
LVDS Wide Panel support LVDS panel
WXGA 1280 x 760
WSXGA+ 1600 x 900
WUXGA 1920 x 1200

Intel 915GM X X X Intel 915GMS * X Note: Intel 915GMS only supports single channel LVDS panel types.

The Hanns widescreen monitor in the grabbit board says it is 1400 x 900 which doesnt look like it is supported.

I dont want to go spending £130 only to find out it will not work.
