Intel GMA X3100 max resolution

[kikedeolivos]

Hi all.

I have an October 08 white Macbook, 2.4 Ghz, 2 Mb Ram with Intel GMA X3100 video chip. (VERY happy with it)

I need to buy a monitor for Cad drafting (2 D) and some Sketchup et all.

I was offer a good deal on a Samsung LCD monitor, 22", wide (16:9) and a max resolution of 1920 x 1080.

I would like to know if the GMA X3100 supports that resolution.

Thank you.

1920 x 1200 is the maximum resolution for an external monitor.

Thank you.
What I yet don't know, if the model is Mac compatible.
It' s a Samsung P-2233SN and the vendor doesn't have a clue about OSX compatibility.

Thanks again.

Because there is no OS compatibility needed with most displays.

They use a standard connection like VGA or DVI, and that is understood by almost every OS.

That Samsung monitor has a VGA input, so you need the miniDVI to VGA adapter.

Got the adapter already.
Thanks for your help.
