Laptop VGA Output problem

[bencho]

Hey,

I got a new T400 from lenovo. It's got an ATI Mobility Radeon 3400 and I've hooked it up to my 40" lcd tv. It can only output 1600x1200. But I'd much rather have it do 1920x1200. My old t43p was able to spit out 1080p over VGA but not this?

if your using vista you need to disable the primary/secondary monitor.. vista can only display both screens at the same resolution when running in cloned mode.. if you set it up so that both monitors are seporate it should allow you to run the tv at 1920x1080.. ex. go into the display settings.. extend the desktop to the second monitor.. if you set it as primary everything will load on the tv instead of the laptop screen when its connected..

I'm using XP... Tried multiple settings and rebooted each time just in case. Nada~

Try using powerstrip to set the correct resolution.
