- eli 17y agoGood point. I've actually got an old Thinkpad hooked up to my TV. It works better than you might think. The dock has HDMI and it puts out a full 1080.
- listic 17y agoWould you please elaborate: which Thinkpad and dock models are those? I was not aware that there is such thing as dock with HDMI.
- eli 17y agoApologies! I meant DVI (along with a DVI->HDMI cable). But as far as I can tell, that's just as good. All digital signal and it looks crisp on my HD TV. It's a T43/p. I believe the /p is important since the regular T43 had a crap graphics card. And I think it's a ThinkPad Port Replicator II (like $20 on ebay). Getting the drivers for the DVI port just right under Linux took some work though.
- aerique 17y agoI know all this but it's the fact that I have to go through all this trouble to be able to use something that I paid good money for.
- jrockway 17y agoThat's why many of us skip the paying good money part. They assume we're all criminals, so why not be? Everyone gets what they want that way.
