Laptop Hooked to 17" Flat Screen Monitor
Hi,
I have a Dell Latitude Laptop with a docking station and a 17" flat screen monitor sitting on top. I get a washed-out look whenever I'm looking at screens with lots of white, like e-mail screens (Outlook, Outlook Express). I thought hitting the High Contract button in the Control Panel options might do something, but it does nothing. Am I missing some configuration or a driver or something? Nothing seems obvious in terms of how to troubleshoot this problem. Thanks, Boolean1 |

Find the manual, or download it from the vendor. Also, your laptop video adapter has a complete set of adjustment tools also. Q |

Laptop Hooked to 17" Flat Screen Monitor
I tried an IMB R50 using a docking station and Sony 19in crt. Was a
disaster, washed out colours, you name it. The problem is the connector and wiring used on the docking station from the notebook to the monitor connector is not shielded. This allows noise to pickup and you get a crap image on the monitor. While this defeats the purpose of the docking station, try to use the laptop's VGA connector to compare. I'm not familiar with the DV connector enough to say use that, since digital encoding is noise immune. The monitor would have to have the same connector. "Boolean1" wrote in message ...
