Hi,

I know this is a bit out topic but had searched through the forum and cant locate exact answer to my doubts.
As i just bought my dv6-6c19tx just this month, i wanna expand my entertainment experience  rclxms.gif  i wanna ask :

1) Is it possible that i can buy an external monitor i.e. 21" - 24" to use as the display instead of my 15.6" currently? If i linked them up with HDMI-HDMI cable, what would the best resolutions will be? Coz the current dv6 of mine can display up to 1366x768 on my lappie.
- Yes u can buy any external monitor, at size (recommended with HDMI input so HDMI-HDMI)
- u can dual display with external monitor + ur laptop monitor, OR Duplicate screen, OR only external monitor
- the resolution is confirm support up till your external monitor resolution (my 23" monitor have full HD which is 1920x1080 res)... the reason ur laptop have 1366x768 is because the screen native resolution is that only... Your graphic card confirm can support up to anything which u can afford now tongue.gif

2) The display resolutions is depends on the GPU's output resolutions or the external monitor supported resolutions?
- display resolution is at best at your monitor native(max optimal resolution)
- i dual monitor my 6c19tx with a 23" FHD monitor, so my laptop at 1366x768 (screen 1) & my external monitor is at 1920x1080 (screen 2)

3) Will the GPU be burdened if i play games via this external monitor? Do you guys recommend me doing this?
by design = it should not burn.... however u need to make sure its not overheated. Overheated usually caused by few factor such as (1) dust block the airflow of the fan and causes it not enuf air circulation.... (2) fan of your lappy is spoiled.... (3) u turn of the fan (set passive) via collsense and u play game with it

Wanna get the answer before i proceed to buy a monitor
yes u can proceed to buy external monitor, prefered HDMI compatible, full HD(1920x1080 OR bigger resolution screen)

Thanks all  notworthy.gif

Thanks for the answer. In fact i read your thread previously on how to connect the devices. It's useful though. And the drawings was good biggrin.gif I tot u r using Dell XPS? laugh.gif

I will proceed to look for a new monitor then... any recommendations? Is it better to get a Wide Display Screen anyway?

Oh thats about my lappy + monitor + PS3 + speaker connection.. hahaha now i got it all fixed...

ya i still have my XPS with me but old old model, decided to give it away to my nephew & niece since i got this newer HP DV6...

Every monitor, or i should say MOST, is widescreen. Its either 16:9 or 16:10 ratio. i would recommend
- Dell Ultrasharp U2312HM (23" monitor) for RM629 <<< 2nd generation or successor of my Dell Utrasharp U2311H
- Dell Ultrasharp U2412M (24" monitor) for RM899

both of them are IPS panel which have much much better viewing angle than LED and LCD. Im very happy with my monitor. Its cheap and nice seriously.

Sifu Vincent, I want a set up similar to yours (but Xbox 360 instead of PS3). Thanks for the monitor recommendations but they are somewhat pricey especially since I just bought the 6c19TX haha sweat.gif Do you know of any cheaper (but still good) ones? tongue.gif Large viewing angle is not necessary and oh yeah, full HD please. And may I ask what external speakers are you using or what do you recommend?

By the way, without the external speakers, there will still be sound output from the laptop when connected to an external monitor right? Sorry for the noobness blush.gif Thanks in advance notworthy.gif

Everytime I start up for the first time after a successful shut down, I get an error saying my cooling fan(90B) is not functioning and the laptop will shut down in 15 secs.

I let it shut down first then start up again, the message don't appear but will appear again after I shut down and start up later on.

I bought the laptop on 2nd of January this year, almost a month already. The only thing I use it for is gaming. About 12 hours a day. D:

Games like Team Fortress 2 and Skyrim on medium settings.

Any idea why?

Sigh, getting random dropped WIFI connections more often these few days even with 4-5 bars. This has never happened before over the past 2-3 weeks I had my 6c19TX.

Should I send for service or something?

EDIT:
It's strange but whenever I'm loading something like a YT video, the connection doesn't drop. It only drops whenever there's idle time in between (like 15-30 secs) of no internet activity.

Connecting my laptop to the charger seems to make the connection stable though... lols. Wth is happening.

Ok guys, ignore my post previously. Found out a solution after googling for awhile.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Seems that the wireless adapter was turning itself off after periods of non-activity. Happens alot to me since I put my laptop to sleep mode alot I guess.

Put this on the front page? Might help future owners.

get the 23" version for ~RM630... its really good, at least for me... im very happy with it...

larger viewing angle is good, else u will see dark dark at the site when u are not directly infront of the monitor. IPS screen have nice view angle where u see from side and still have nice unchanged color. Its cheap already. I will suggest u save up money for that. LCD monitor now is around this price nowadays

I connect my PS3, laptop and monitor as below
- Monitor DVI-D port to '3 port HDMI switch' output
- '3 port HDMI switch' HDMI port input #1 to Laptop HDMI port
- '3 port HDMI switch' HDMI port input #2 to PS3

Speaker that im using is as mentioned in my signature, logitech. Yes without external speaker, the sound will come out from your laptop.
