Hi guys,

I am still using my T61 (model 7765) with NVS 140M graphics. I have just ordered a new monitor - LG IPS236V-PN, which is a 23" with resolution of 1920x1080.
Now the question is - will the VGA port support this resolution?
And - if I buy the mini-docking station, will the DVI output work with 1920x1080?

According to http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro_nvs ... specs.html , 1600x1200 is the maximum DVI resolution for NVS140M. Is it true? I think I read reports that some were running monitors with higher resolution on the DVI port?

Also, there is a USB-DVI adapter made by Lenovo: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... 72682.html
Is this better than the VGA port?

Thank you.

The max resolution output over VGA is 2048x1536 according to lenovo. Yes, the advanced mini dock supports 1920x1080 over DVI, max 2560x1600.

I would get the dock and connect to the monitor with DVI, you will get a much better (crisper and clearer) picture. I don't know about USB to DVI adapters, but I think a dock would be better in the long run. Just be sure to get the Advanced Mini-Dock and not the Essential Port Replicator, as that one does not have DVI.

Thank you!
I will order the advanced mini-docking station.

No problem.

Also, welcome to the forums! I didn't see your post count earlier.

Will work fine.

I'm currently running a Dell 24" 1920x1200 over DVI and a Dell 24" 1920x1080 over VGA using the Advanced MiniDock.

For anyone searching this - I've got the above working fine at 2560x1600 over dual-link DVI from the minidock to a LG 30" display.
