    Which current laptops, beside E1705/9400 and their M1710, have a DVI? Are there any on the Latitude series? TIA

    Precision M90.
    An expansion dock with dvi can be added to the business models.

    Anyone know how my e1505 with the high resolution screen with the 256 graphics card will look on on a nice large lcd with just my vga plugged in? This model does not have DVI and it is the only thing I don't like about it!

    Normally VGA looks very good on an external LCD screen.

    S-Video looks better than RCA video, but not nearly as good as DVI/HDMI. Non-HD video may look better on an S-Video connection than a DVI/HDMI connection, but individual results vary. Rear projection, DLP, plasma, and LCD look slightly different.

    I own a Sharp LC-37D4U, so I tend to read a lot about HD. :)
