"Ati Radeon IGP 345M" chipset (for notebooks).
Hello, I ordered a Sony Vaio Notebook. (Not arived yet). It is included with a "Ati Radeon IGP 345M" chipset. (128 Mb, tiled by two displays??) I want to see the possibilities by using dual display options and how to set the screen. The only product of Ati as nearby the number "345M" is a chip "340M" http://www.ati.com/products/radeonigp/rigp340m.html Does anybody know if I can use the same software, e.g. the "HYDRAVISION" software utilities for this "345M" chip? I couldn't find either, but I guess all of those Radeon graphic cards has extensive possibilities to set color, contrast, brightness etc. (As a photographer it is very important). -- Vr.groet - regards, Léon Obers Reacties per mail, vervang "invalid" door "cc" in het adres.

All the radeons use the same control panel, so no worries there... Dual display is at the very least capable of: - TFT screen - external screen - TFT + external; in clone mode, or really two screens You WILL be working on an external screen, i guess?? TFT screens are never as good for photo editing as CRT screens are... Thomas |

All the radeons use the same control panel, so no worries there... Good to know. You WILL be working on an external screen, i guess?? TFT screens are never as good for photo editing as CRT screens are... Well, I shall use the notebook for external location photography to capture images by capture software. In that case I can not take a second CRT monitor. But if it is about the TFT quality, that's why I did choose for the Sony Vaio model with a "Onyx black" LCD screen. Looking around to several notebooks, this screen do have the best clarity / luminance, and do have a neutral "white" where many TFT screens do have a "cream" white (yellowish, or green-yelowish white). Also a test-image with a very fine defined grayscale, it shows even a "tint" at RGB values just below 255, 255, 255, where many others TFT-screens has no detail anymore in more low RGB values. Test-images like these: http://www.photocenter.de/page_down.html Only negative side of the Sony screen is a small looking angle. So you have to sit behind the screen just very straight in front. But in cases where I do want to use a second monitor, I can make use of the possibility. I do work from time to time within an advertising photo-studio http://www.studiodewinter.nl/ , where they have several 22 inch CRT screens, that I could plugin. But in spite of the possibility, the workflow mostly shall be that I do use the notebook for "Capture" the images (with capture software). Make a color correction etc. as good as I can make at the notebook, but afterwards the files are send to the workstation including CRT screens, where images are fine tuned. -- Vr.groet - regards, Léon Obers Reacties per mail, vervang "invalid" door "cc" in het adres.

Welcome ;-) You WILL be working on an external screen, i guess??

Yeap, i noticed before, a friend of mine had a Vaio, it had a very 'white' white colour indeed, compared to my creamish white.. I think that under the circumstances, it's a very good choice ;-) Enjoy the notebook ;-) Thomas |
