Will my Dell Notebook be dual monitor capable?
I just bought a new Dell 5160 notebook. The sales guy said that it has vga
port to connect an external monitor. If I connect an external monitor, 1. will it be a 2nd monitor like a dual monitor capable adapter (or) 2. Will my notebook display blackout and I will have to view the external monitor (or) 3. Will the notebook display and external monitor display exactly the same screen. Thanks. |

Sure, but I have just ordered the laptop.
If anyone has a dell 5100, 5160 or probably any recent laptop with a vga port at the back knows if an external monitor connected to this vga port works as a dual monitor allowing windows to be moved from from screen to another etc. "The Chief" wrote in message ...
