Apple 23" Cinema Display (1900 x 1200) on TP41?

#1 Post by cpr » Wed Jul 14, 2004 2:14 pm

I've got a T41 (2379-DJU), with the Radeon 9000 (only 32MB), but it says it'll do up to 2048 x 1532 (or what-have-you).

Will the DVI out drive the new Cinema 23" Display on this machine? (I've got one coming this way.) Anyone have experience with it?

Thanks.
Cheers!

Those Apple displays only have DVI input, no analog D-SUB.

I don't think there's such thing as a D-SUB-to-DVI converter (there is simple DVI-to-D-SUB converter though). I think that means you'll need a port replicator/dock for the ThinkPad in order to get DVI on the laptop to connect to the display.

The 2048x1532 max resolution is for D-SUB out. But at 1600x1200 output from the D-SUB connector on the laptop, I think the image quality looks like crap for some reason, everything is blurry, especially on a big LCD. So I doubt it'll look any better at 1920x1200

Sorry, I meant using the real DVI output on a dock of some sort.
