Notebook with Dual Vid Out?

BigM · 7th August 2008, 7:12 PM

Hey All,

From my hunting there doesn't seem to be, but does anyone know of a laptop with dual dvi out??

Seems the only option (to run 2 x 1920/1200 screens) would be to pick up that external gpu thing ASUS made?

Thanks,
JM

my dell xps m1330 has one vga and one hdmi port that can power two external monitors as long as the built in one is off

Cool! That's interesting!!

I notice in your sig it says it has HDMI... any chance that it can use that and the DVI at once (instead of the VGA)? Or is the HDMI done via DVI with an adaptor? Just with these monitors you can really tell the difference between DVI and VGA (it sux0rs) so would be good if I could use DVI and HDMI instead...

I really like the little 1330, if that works might have made my choice of laptop easy too
