Dual Monitors and a laptop

Quote from edil:

FT71, can you connect 3 DVI monitors to the ATI Radeon 64MB on your 9300?

thanks
Sorry about that. I meant to fix that post but it was past the 60 min limit. I meant 2 monitors without a problem. I haven't plugged in monitors to both ports in the back to see if it can handle three monitors (the notebook's LCD + 2 others - one for each port). It works fine like most other notebooks with that video card with 1 DVI monitor connected. When I get a chance, I will plug in a DVI+VGA and see if it runs them at the same time. My guess is probably not based on the Display Properties menu. Sorry about the confusion.

Hello folks

I just bought a Dell Inspiron 9300 Laptop and I am running 2 Dell 1905fp 19's off of the DVI and S video connectors.

Here is the problem though the one monitor connected to the DVI is "shadowing" text on certain backgrounds and secondly the brightness and contrast is much less then the other monitor.

The video card is the Nvidia Ge Force 256 mgb.

Any suggestions ?

Try to get Nvidia’s latest driver (v81.98 now, see also Driver Installation Hints) and run nView Desktop Manager >Tools>Display calibration.

Good luck :)

You’re quite welcome :)

It’s better also run the Display Optimization Wizard.

Nvidia updates their universal driver quite often. Usually the driver comes with a new computer is 2~3 version backdated. Personally I don’t think you need the latest one IF everything works fine.
