Advanced Doc vs Mini-Doc: Which has dual-link DVI output?

#1 Post by algous » Wed Jan 30, 2008 7:36 pm

Does anybody know whether ThinkPad Advanced Doc has dual-link DVI output connector as the same in Advanced Mini-Doc which can drive 2560x1600 WQXGA resolution?

Regarding Advanced Mini-Doc I've seen some posts on this forum that it has dual-link DVI.

Does Advanced Doc have the same one?

RonS,

Good news! Thanks.

Did you check this yourself or only hear from somebody?

RonS,

You wrote here
http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.ph ... 468#238468
that Advanced Dock is not dual-link DVI.

I wonder how you detected that it has dual-link DVI.
Did you test it yourself?

I tested both an Advanced Dock and Mini Dock with a 30" display running 2560x1600 resolution. I tested with both a T60p and a T61p. All combinations drove dual-link just fine.

Prior to that, in March 2007, I did a test with a widescreen T60p and an Advanced Dock where it would not drive dual-link DVI. I suspect that was a driver issue - I was using someone else's system for that test.

Does anybody know if integrated graphics can do Dual-link or just the discrete graphics?

Try Advanced Doc with dual-link graphics adapter inside.
