After U plug in the monitor u got press Fn+F3 to change the setting to extend or not?
And if got, post the picture of Screen Resolution setting(right click->screen resolution)

ok, i did. both monitors could be extended from y480 individually, but now i'm trying to have both -- cannot.

the problem is with the one connected via HDMI. I tried connect to HDMI first - succeed. then when i add in the vga, the vga takes over, hdmi lost signal.

Hmmm, then if plug VGA then HDMI?
VGA will lost signal or not?

no, the vga still there...

YUP... cannot

hallo hallo...

i saw the y580 in garage sales rm2920 with 8gb ram...
comes with win 7 home basic,500gb 5400rpm hdd...

how does this lappy perform??
will it heat up easily??

as my current one loading and surfing+music...reaches 60+ degrees...

It's the same built, just RAM and HDD reduce only...
U using what lappy?

sony vaio sr12g....4 years old edi...never open and clean the fan and all...

i read its on win 7 home basic compared to home premium of the pricier model...

so u manage to get 2 external monitors works in expand mode at the same ?

means u have 3 screen :: internal LCD + 2 DVI monitors run at the same time ?
cool !

From his word is yes, just the VGA priority problem...
Must plug in VGA then HDMI only can work, if plug in HDMI then VGA the HDMI will signal off itself...

sorry guys.... i haven't gotten 2 external monitors to work - currently only on 1 (extended display). the words below are taken from another site that guy apparently has gotten it to work:

I'll try to get those cables and see if it works on mine or not.

it seems to have 2 external display on extended mode is not an easy job.

Using default DLink 615 Wireless Router provided by Unifi, in Task Manager -> Networking -> Wilress Network -> Link Speed:

Y580 (Intel 2200-N) = 74Mbps
1520 (Intel 4965AGN) = 144Mbps

Why the link speed is so slow compare to my 4 years old laptop?

Anyone has this issue?

Friends..i just bought y580 for 3599..my question is how i know it is full hd?

check the screen resolution -> 1920x1080 = FHD

Welcome to the club....

look at the label at the side of the box, does it say:

Display: 15.6" FHD LED, or somethjing like that?

and then, on your windows desktop, right click, choose Screen Resolution, you should see the Resolution: 1920 X 1080 (recommended). if your display can't reach this number, either the setting got problem, or the unit is not FHD.
