Netbook with 1024x768 for projectors

by Stalib - 5/14/09 3:43 AM

Hi

I'm looking to buy netbooks for my office. Basdically the most important requirement is that they output 1024x768 on their external vga output, since they will be connected to a variety of projectors (some which can't handle non-standard resolutions)

The few netbooks I've seen can't output 1024x768 (they can only output the resolution that is used for their lcd screen)

Does anyone know of a netbook that can do this?

Thanks

I found your post odd as all the netbooks I've used did that resolution without any problem at all. Are you looking at specifications or did you try and fail when you tried this on a netbook?

Here our lowly Acer Aspire One can do this plus it's currently driving an external LCD at 1680x1050!

Can you list the "few netbooks" that don't work for you?

Clone

We only tested two models (what I meant by few). I think one of them was an Asus EEE pc and the other one I can't remember, but I think it wasn't a big brand netbook, imported for the South African market.

A question on the Acer Aspire One, is this in single mode or clone. I forgot to mention we would like it to be clone (same image on netbook and projector).

That needs to be in your "specifications."

Any clone mode issue will extend to laptops and let's just say PCs. In your case you may have to find old laptops with the resolution you demand. I see those IBM T42's with that exact resolution for under 399 out on the market. You install XP, drivers and you have a solution.

As it stands, no laptop made today will do what you ask.

the problem is the LCD

the chipset can handle XGA fine, but if you're using clone on a netbook standard WSVGA screen, you'll need to do something to make it work with XGA. you can force it to handle XGA in two ways, one where the screen becomes like a sliding panel up and down, and two where you modify the driver to squeeze in the extra pixels (but its becomes very slow). the alternative is ofcourse to just get a netbook with a better screen. Both the Dell mini 10, and HP mininote 2140 have a 720P screen option, and the more expensive Sony Vaio P, has a 1600x768 screen

how to force higher resolution on Intel chipset netbooks

by alphabeta2 - 5/2/10 9:24 AM

In Reply to: Netbook with 1024x768 for projectors by Stalib

For those looking to change resolution to something other than the standard 1024600 or 800600 on Intel chipsets on netbooks, heres a lifesaver! http://uploading.com/files/1ff76ae5/GRAPHICS-IGMA-8.15.10.1930_SEVEN_MOD.exe/
I have Windows 7 Ult on an Acer Aspire One 10.1 and was trying to run Quickbooks, but couldnt see the bottom of the screen for the enter. After endless searches, I found this driver, and it allows you to change to 1024768 or 1152864! A real lifesaver for me! Now I dont have to carry my full-sized laptop! I upgraded to 2gb RAM and Quickbooks 2010 works great!!!
Hope this helps some of you! I am trying to post in ALL of the forums I had searched in in hopes some of you with the same problem find some "resolution" in it! It took me 2 days to find the answer!!!

Can you be more specific as to which models this file works on? Does it work with Windows XP Home?
