so i just go this laptop and i love it. and i just figured out i can run dual monitors. so im stocked. only problem is the secondary monitor maxes out at 1360x768@@60hz. but i cant even get that out of it right now. in fact i just put it to 1024x768 cause thats the higehest it can work on. btw it is a HD samsung tv with VGA input. any ideas? i was so stoked up until like now.

What is the specification of this laptop?

It all depends on the laptop video chipset. Quoted: A lot of laptops have a VGA port for an external monitor, and by default the external monitor will show the same image as the built-in monitor. If the laptop has a video chipset with multi-monitor support (and the necessary drivers), you can choose to use the external monitor as a second monitor instead of a mirror of the built-in monitor. i_Xp/VistaUser

this laptop is a HP DV8000. AMD turion64 1.8ghz 512mb of ram ATI Radeon xpress 200m as for showing the same thing, no. i can open a window and move it to the seconday monitor. but like im saying the secondary monitor wont take the resolution it is supposed to.
