    Hi there.

    I recently bought a Lenovo Thinkpad T61. I'm very happy with it. I have an issue tho'.

    I have a Samsung 970P monitor and yesterday I sadly discovered that my video card is not compatible with the "display". http://www.samsung.com/products/Monitors/magictune/magictune_06s.htm. Magic tune does not support my Quadro 140M. The 970p does not have any buttons on it so the only way to calibrate it is via Magic Tune. I'd like to use it for photo editing and with my Wacom Intuos.

    Could you guys help me out with this?
    Any recommendations? What other (8bit) monitor would suit my needs? 20.1-22 inch? I need good colors.

    The only bad thing about the T61 is that you can only connect an ANALOG external monitor. (I mean with an anlaog connection. The 970p has analog and digital to).

    Thanx in advance!

    Did you try it out? Just cause it's not on the list don't mean it won't work. I fixed your link which was broke. You can't have parenthesis in you url.

    1. thnx
    2. yeah i tried it and i'm using it but it has some artifacts (a kind of ghosting) and I can't calibrate it. I installed it's driver to. (and it's only 6 bit with dieth. and i'd like another one without any compatibility issues and good colors for photo editing and stuff if there's no solution for my 970p) When I used ot with my desktop on DVI it worked fine had no problems.

    What happens when you install Magic Gate?
