    Laptop (M1530) refuses to sleep/hibernate (comes right back up)

    It sometimes goes into sleep mode just fine, but apparently it's decided to be extra fussy today and not do anything. Running Vista Home Premium. If I put it into sleep/hibernation mode, it does the usual power-down thing but, when it reaches the black screen and would usually shut off, it...

    Dell 3007WFP + Dell M1530 Laptop. Only able to get 1280x800 on the 30"...

    If you're a gamer, game over: http://www.digitalversus.com/duels.php?ty=6&ma1=88&mo1=237&p1=2302&ma2=88&mo2=316&p2=3023&ph=11. 3007WFP-HC beats the hell out of the 3008 in terms of input lag. And if you're a gamer, that's likely going to matter.

    Dell 3007WFP + Dell M1530 Laptop. Only able to get 1280x800 on the 30"...

    Comparison of the two: http://www.digitalversus.com/duels.php?ty=6&ma1=88&mo1=174&p1=1747&ma2=88&mo2=390&p2=3609&ph=12 Those are numbers on lag for the two monitors in question. The 2707 does appear to have a fairly substantial drop in lag over the 2709, but it's still significant. This...

    Dell 3007WFP + Dell M1530 Laptop. Only able to get 1280x800 on the 30"...

    The 2707 is TN or S-IPS? What kind of colour, etc. does it have compared to the 3007WFP? Or is it S-PVA, but somehow devoid of the lag issues? Thanks for this tip. I might just replace it with the 2707... Weaker contrast and stuff, but that lag bugs the Bejesus out of me.

    Dell 3007WFP + Dell M1530 Laptop. Only able to get 1280x800 on the 30"...

    On my old PC, I had it running at 1920x1200 just fine. But I'm guessing it was still putting out 2560x1600 and scaling it down to 1920x1200? And now this video card can't do 2560x1600, and refuses to scale 1280x800 UP to 1920x1200? Lame. Will have to keep the 27" then. F*ing input lag. Note...

    Dell 3007WFP + Dell M1530 Laptop. Only able to get 1280x800 on the 30"...

    I don't think that's true... Especially of the 27" reaches 1920x1200 on the same cable, hooked up to the same laptop (and the same video card). And 1280x800 isn't half of 2560x1600; it's one quarter. I'll try the cable at lunch and see what happens.

    Dell 3007WFP + Dell M1530 Laptop. Only able to get 1280x800 on the 30"...

    Well I have a 2709 27" that gets 1920x1200 on it with the same cable, but the monitor's garbage (about 50ms input lag) and is going back to Dell for a refund. I'll try buying a Dual-Link HDMI-to-DVI cable and seeing if that gets me any higher...

    Dell 3007WFP + Dell M1530 Laptop. Only able to get 1280x800 on the 30"...

    Using a DVI-to-HDMI cable, I've got my 30" (capable of 2560x1600) connected to the M1530's GeForce 8600M and am only able to set it to a maximum of 1280x800. Do I need a dual-link cable to pull off anything higher than that? I'm not expecting to get 2560x1600, but I'm hoping to get 1920x1280 at...

    Dell 2709 with HDMI: Will I even get to native res of 1920x1200?

    Hmm. Well, if FutureShop's cool with selling me an adapter with a good chance of my returning it a half-hour later, then I'll test it tomorrow on my brother's laptop and let you all know. I'm expecting failure, too. But what a happy surprised it'd be...

    Dell 2709 with HDMI: Will I even get to native res of 1920x1200?

    You're *positive* the 8600M video card in the M1530 can't power the 30" over HDMI? The specs on the card state that it's dual-link DVI, but because the laptop doesn't have a DVI port, I'm left assuming that they've converted it to HDMI. And if HDMI = DVI + sound, then this HDMI port could very...

    Dell 2709 with HDMI: Will I even get to native res of 1920x1200?

    I bought the 2709 because people on the forums were telling me that HDMI wasn't sufficient to power a Dell 3007WFP (30" - 2560x1600). I've got a Dell M1530 laptop on its way now, along with the 2709 because I was told that the M1530 wouldn't be able to power the 30" because it didn't have...

    Dell 2709 with HDMI: Will I even get to native res of 1920x1200?

    I just bought a 2709 (it's in the mail) and my only connection option is through HDMI; no DVI. Will be able to run it at native 1920x1200, or will I actually be stuck at 1920x1080?
