Resolution using a MacBook with an external display

[mojopixel]

Hello,

I am just about to connect my MacBook to my new 24" external display once I get the DVI adaptor and I just wanted to know what is the highest resolution the MacBook can cope with? Can it cope with 1920x1200?

cheers,

mp 🙂

1920x1200 is no problem. They run beautifully.

Can it cope with 1920x1200?

Yes. I believe that is actually the highest it will handle.

I ran a 24" Dell Ultrasharp with my MacBook for awhile with no problems.

If you have a MacBook with the X3100, I'm sure it can handle that fine. My MacBook has a GMA 950 and I notice that if I am watching a movie in 1450x1200 (if a remember correctly) on my 17" Apple CRT while I'm doing other tasks on my MacBook display, the fans tend to kick on quite fast. I've also noticed somewhat of a slowdown in animations in OS X during this time. This could all be because I am watching a movie though while doing a bunch of other tasks.
