Its an 18 inch!

Hte monitor is 18.1 in and is equivilent to my 19 in CRT. Actually I dont get the wash out on the LCD at least not as bad as with the laptop screen. I never really noticed it till I just checked the laptop can be really washed out and the LCD is fine.

The Tri-fecta!

I was wondering will the ATI card let you output to an external monitor and the svideo at the same time allowing for a triplewide desktop? Has anybody tried this. If not I will try it this evening and see if I can get it to work!

YES!

Well at lest with the ATI 9600 anyway

There are 3 different ways to display your screen

1. Your laptop LCD
2. TV/PROJECTOR via the s-video out
3. There is a standard 15-pin monitor plug so that you can use a regular monitor too. CRT or LCD

I found you can run any of these as dual monitors

LCD with TV
TV with CRT
CRT with LCD

It is all done with the ati control pannel
I did this with the ATI not sure about with the NVIDIA card never used it.
