Can you extend the desktop to an external monitor? How about the 1000?

If you connect an external display, you can have the desktop display on either or both, and in higher resolution when displaying only on the external display. You can't however (so far as I've seen), have the two displays both on at once and showing different parts of a desktop as on a PC or Mac.

You will need to go into your display settings and choose the extend option. It is a little different depending on the Operating system you have. I have posted the most common below.

Possible, are you looking to connect an eternal monitor and keyboards? You could just strap the laptop into the CPU area or but it on the keyboard tray. If no monitor is overkill

There is no mounting stand for this panel. So, if you are looking for a desktop solution, you need to buy some type of third party mounting. If you connect using the VGA input, the screen will support various resolutions up to 1920 x 1080. The HDMI interface does not work as well. HDMI will give you max resolution of 1920 x 1080 with few options.

If the driver has 2 monitor support which this one does .I don't believe it will extend the desktpo though because it only has one display path.

Yep, it's possible with docks like this Dynadock, or the Plugable Dock Plugable USB 2.0 Universal Docking Station with DisplayLink DVI/VGA up to 1920x1080, Audio, Ethernet, and 4 Available High-Speed USB 2.0 Ports. You just connect the extra monitor to the dock with its own cable, then the dock to the laptop with USB. So assuming that your laptop already has an external VGA port that you can get one external monitor connected to (try that first), then the dock then allows you to add a second external monitor. Your desktop can then be set to span all three screens (your laptop screen, and the two external monitors), which is a cool setup.

I installed WinXP and you can extend the desktop with a utility provided by Intel. I have it connected to a 21" monitor at 1600x1200 resolution. The max resolution it supports is 1920x1080.

You can definately add an external monitor that has mini hdmi. If you still have the older vga cable then no. It may be possible to get some sort of connector that allows you to swap down from VGA to mini hdmi, but I haven't looked and not doubt they would probably be quite expensive.

I'm sorry but this is a splitter which will have monitor #1 mirror monitor #2. You want to have 2 VGA connections on your PC to extend desktop. You can also use a HDMI connection along with a VGA connection to extend.

Hello, I do not think that you would be able to connect an additional monitor unless there is a way to do that by USB

I believe that you can't do this on this netbook since there aren't that many pixels physically on the screen. If you had it attached to an external monitor that supported 1024x768 you would be OK. Remember that your resolution is physically limited by your video card's ability to output at the desired resolution and the screen's ability to display at the resolution you desire.

I don't see a way to do that unless you have a monitor that could connect with a USB port. Other than that, I love my new computer! I've had it since mid-August.

You can plug a USB drive into the monitor and access it from a computer attached to the monitor. You cannot do this without a computer attached to the monitor.

There is no hardware way to connect to external monitors. You can use software apps to connect to certain streaming devices.

Yes you can. I use it with my desktop because the monitor I have did not have speakers. You have to use an available USB port and make sure that USB sound device drivers are installed. This speaker can be loud. It was well worth it.

I was able to accomplish this with the same PC. I used a DVI adapter for the second monitor.

Late response but yes, I also use this as a second monitor. Not to be used by the serious gamer as a primary of course, but it is nice to have extended desktop.
