Port replicator resolution

I am using HP250 laptop with 2005pr usb port replicator. Using laptop stnad alone the screen is set to maximum resolution but when I attached the 2005pr the monitor res is dropped to 1280x720 max. It worked fine originally, this has only recently started to happen. I need to get the moitor res range back to matching the normal laptop screen res.

    Hi
    The max display resolution depends on the notebook (graphic card) and the external display which is connected to the Hi-Speed Port Replicator.
    The internal graphic card INTEL QM57 (built-in in Portege R700) overwiew provides this info:
    http://www.intel.com/Products/Notebook/Chipsets/QM57/qm57-overview.htm
    +This chipset supports the DisplayPort* interface with up to 2560 x 1600 resolution.+
    So you have to check the external monitor properties.

  • Port Replicator (45K1610), x301, and resolution help

    I have a x301, a port replicator with model number 45K1610, and a Dell 22" wide screen monitor.  When I connect the monitor directly to the laptop I can get the max resolution of 1680x1050 out of the monitor but when I plug the monitor through the port replicator I can only get a max resolution of 1440x900.  We have some customers here that what to run the monitor through the port replicator and have it mirror the laptop with the resolution of 1680x1050.  I have not been able to find a way to do this and according to the specs of the port replicator it is capable of pushing a resolution greater than the 1680x1050.  Anyone have any idea on how to get this to work?  Thanks.

    I am having the same issue. For some reason, mirroring will only match the max laptop resolution on the external display. I have a 24" monitor that can display 1080p. I need to get the external display to AT LEAST 1600x1200.
    I understand the you can extend to the external display, but I am unable to set the external display as the primary monitor (move the start button, taskbar, etc) to the external.

  • Slim Port Replicator 2 - Widescreen Resolution

    Hi,
    I consider buying a Slim Port Replicator 2 for my Portege R500.
    I've two questions about the replicator:
    The specified max. resolution is 1600x1200. I want to connect a widescreen display with a resolution of 1680 x 1050. Will this work?
    I'm using linux and I'm concerned if there's some sort of windows only driver needed to operate the replicator?

    Hi
    Im not port replicator expert but in my knowledge the Slim Port Replicator 2 supports 1 x RGB (Monitor) and 1 x DVI (Video) port which supports an max resolution of 1600x1200.
    As mentioned the DVI port supports max 1600x1200px and other higher resolution is not possible.
    But maybe you will be able to choose your favorite resolution of 1680 x 1050 using the RGB (Monitor) port
    Best regards

  • X300: External Monitors and port replicator

    The X300 looks really good, but when not traveling I'd be using it with a 24" 1920x1200 monitor.
    A couple questions I can't see to find answers for:
    1)  Is the X300 capable of driving that resolution for an external monitor?
    2)  Assuming a good answer to #1, it seems like the new USB-based docking station has an resolution of 1440x or 1400x.  Can the replicator be used, but skip using the video out and, instead, just use the video out from the X300?
    Using the port replicator may not make sense that way since I might as well just plug everything in manually, but wanted to ask.
    Thanks in advance for any help/clarity around this.

    ed, it's an obvious question with a not-so-obvious answer.   the specs actually come from intel's published info on the X3100 integrated graphics.   for whatever reason lenovo doesn't list their systems' output capabilities in easily-accessible documentation.   not even the X300 topseller announcement letter mentions display output.   i've never understood this as it would clear up many customers' questions and uncertainties.
    this makes a thinkpad's ability to output high resolution is a perpetually-confusing topic.   to help put things in perspective, it takes only 12MB of video memory to drive 2048x1536 @ 32-bit and only 9MB to drive 1920x1200 @ 32-bit.   the X300 with its ability to use up to 384MB of shared system memory can easily drive two displays simultaneously within the VGA limitations on each port; 2048x1536 on-board and 1400x1050 via the port replicator.
    update: fixed typo.

  • Enhanced USB port replicator 43R8811 and dual monitor

    I have problem with USB port replicator. I cannot put a right resolution to monitor (wide screen monitor). Replicator's settings say that I can use up to 1280x1024 resolution but monitor support i.e. 1400x1050 resolution which port replicator should support by user manual.
    If I put monitor direct to my X300 laptop I can use monitor's right resolution (1680x1050).
    Is it drivers problem or what that I cannot put a right settings?
    -Paul-

    I'm having trouble understanding your phrasing.
    The Enhanced USB Port Replicator I recently purchased supports 1440x900 and can be configured to do so.  I did have to install the drivers by downloading from the web (they were provided on a CD -- convenient since my laptop came with no CD/DVD drive :-).  Once the drivers  were installed, it happily suports 1440x900.  Did you already install the software?  Older versions of the port replicator don't support above 1280x1024, but that should not be the case with the Enhanced one.
    So you should be able to set any resolution up to 1440x900.
    Of course "1400x1050" would be a higher resolution than 1440x900, and thus not supported right?

  • Advanced Port Replicator III Plus Driver/Frimware

    Hi,
    I am having a number of problems with my Poretege M300 on Advanced Port Replicator III Plus. Some Fn keys aren't working and I'm not able to get the correct screen display on my external monitor.
    Question: are there drivers for the Port replicator? I don't have a CD or any other installation media.
    Thanks, Richard

    Pedro,
    Thanks for this.
    I have reinstalled the Common Modules and now when I undock the Fn F5 key works K to toggle between screens. I guess this is disabled when docked?
    But I still can't use the Toshiba Assist and Presentation buttons, although I have also reinstalled the drivers for these as well.
    The M300 supports the external screen resolution OK, but I have to re-arrange my desktop every time I dock and use the higehr resolution external screen.

  • Random BSOD after installing port replicator drivers.

    Hi, my boss just got a new laptop (TP T400s running Windows 7) and after configuring it, it was working fine. But then I installed the drivers for the USB port replicator with digital video and after rebooting, right after the login screen, it BSOD, complaining about igdkmd64.sys. Rebooted again, it didn't crashed upon login this time, just a little while later when clicking on the start menu. After more test, the replicator seemed to work, but not the digital video port. The DVI connector didn't worked correctly, just the mouse pointer was being displayed. Trying to set resolution didn't do anything and switching output source via Win-P provoked a strange flickering for a minute or so and then the machine automatically rebooted. Tried the driver found on the CD (1.0) and also those available through Lenovo website (1.5.6.8), always the same thing. Now I've uninstalled the drivers and the random BSOD keep reappearing.
    Is this issue common? Is the port replicator faulty or is it the ThinkPad? Is the windows installation screwed, can it be repaired? What is Lenovo return policy?
    I've also seen lots of complaints on this forum about random shutdown, this would be as unacceptable for us than the current BSOD we're experiencing. Is that situation widespread?
    P.S.: We're trying to get work done, not beta test Lenovo products!
    Thanks

    The win7 driver for the usb port replicator with digital output is not out yet. So, you cannot get it work under win7. I recall seeing an official flyer of the product, in which there is a line stating that a win7 driver will be out in December.

  • X301 USB Port Replicator

    How do I disconnect from the port replicator? Can I just "pull the plug" or do I have to shut down first? In my previous Thinkpads there was a button to click to prepare the machine to disconnect.

    The USB Port Rep software installer puts an icon in your system tray.  If you right-click this icon, you have many options for setting external monitor resolution, etc. 
    Here you will also find the option to stop USB video...this will end output to the external monitor and default all video back to the notebook LCD.

  • Tecra A8-103 Port Replicator III does not work on WIndows 7

    Hi 2 all, 
    My Tecra A8-103 worked very fine with docking station: Advanced Toshiba Port replicator III plus.
    It worked well on Windows Vista. 
    but, after Windows 7 was installed, docking station does not accept/recognize microphone and stereo input ??
    I mean, when I connect microphone jack and jack from external speakers into docking station, there is no sound ??
    are there any drivers perhaps ? to be installed for Windows 7 ? 
    thanks in advance 
    Zoran 

    I have a MacMini that is a intel core solo and has the DVI port not the mini-DVI.
    I was able to load win7 but only after connecting the MacMini to an LCD monitor via DVI-to-VGA converter that came with my mac mini.
    I am running snow leopard on the mac side and the video works great in 1080p via DVI cable direct to my DLP tv. but when I loaded win7 the tv couldn't display the video feed. The tv read "not compatible data". The DLP tv has a VGA input and win7 is running fine on it.
    I am looking for a way to enable the video card to give the same quality on the win7 side as the OS X side, so that I can go back to the DVI cable and the 1080p I was getting in snow leopard.

  • HP 2005pr USB 2.0 Port Replicator - Video not with my Surface Pro 3

    Hi everyone,
    I've spent tons of hours already trying to get the HP 2005pr USB 2.0 Port Replicator working with my Surface Pro 3 and no luck. I mean, the USB replication / hub works, meaning that if I plug in a USB mouse / keyboard, they work. It recognizes the device in Device Manager and the ViewSpan application is running. But if I plug in a display in the VGA, nothing happens, no monitor gets detected, and even if I "force-detect" one it still doesn't display anything.
    I've tried with 3 driver versions so far:
    0.2.5 - not working at all. Reboots my Surface while installing. (this one is on the device itself).
    3.X - which is the first with support for Windows 8 I think. I can install it and everything works as described above - meaning no VGA.
    5.3.X - same story as above.
    I've tried uninstalling, restarting and uninstalling several times with both versions. No luck. And I've literally been on every forum where people have problems with the replicator and nothing helped.
    Anyone had any luck getting such a setup to work?
    Or any ideas on how to get it to work?
    Thanks.

    Hi @blinkk2
    I see that you are having problem connecting an external monitor to your Microsoft Surface Pro 3 through the HP USB Port Replicator. As the USB ports are working with the mouse and keyboard we know what the Port Replicator itself is working this is going to be something with the drivers on the Surface. I would recommend contacting Microsoft Support to see if they can recommend a graphics driver for you.

  • X1 and USB Port Replicator with digital video - hangs system

    Hi
    with the X1 to help with docking it everyday at the office I have a USB Port replicator with digital video. I am not using the digital video but the USB ports, head phone and mics plus ethernet.
    When I plug it in it detects it OK, I then installed the software. But after reboot it looks to stall when logging into windows, screen flickers back and forth and locks up the operating system. I unlplug it and reboot and window is working fine.
    Note as I mentioned I am not using the digital output but instead using an external monitor via the display port on the back of the laptop.
    Also its is very slow to boot (Lenovo bios splash screen is there for about a minute)
    I have gone into the bios and turned off all other bootable devices just leaving the laptops hard drive.
    As a work around I have removed the software and I am getting the basic functionality of the port replicator, but not the ethernet.
    I have run the update manager but does not appear to show a need to update the drivers.

    Hi, I have this same exact problem.
    Video (anything from youtube to downloaded shows, movies) will freeze for 5-7 seconds at a time. The sound continues to play while the video is 'frozen', and the video resumes after that.
    It will happen on its own, with no bumping, but it is more prone to happen if I do something like increase the volume within the media player.
    Any suggestions are much appreciated!

  • Video issues with USB port replicator with Digital Video

    I have a T400 running Windows XP SP3 32-bit, with the graphics mode set to use the ATI video card. I'm also using the latest approved Lenovo ATI driver for this machine.
    I have two issues, one of which I consider major:
    1) Sometimes when I plug in the replicator (got the latest drivers off of the Lenovo download site) everything works great, and other times the monitor never powers up. I plug the replicator into my laptop and the external keyboard and mouse work and the port replicator system tray icon appears, but the monitor is still in power-saving mode. If I try to activate the monitor by "extending" or "mirroring" it, it comes up with a pop-up that says:
    "ThinkPad USB port rep. device: Error" - "Fail when adding device instance into driver!"
    2) This is more of an annoyance, but I noticed when the monitor does work that black areas of the screen end up getting sparkly green lines through them. They aren't "actually there" in the sense that it's not corruption from the computer, they are simply artifacts of what seems to be some signalling problem.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Your reply is 2 months later, I had to revert to Office 2010 and return the laptop to the end user.
    But, I got another model of the same laptop right now which can be used to test it, I will let you know if it works out this time with the lates DisplayLink software for Windows.

  • Lenovo USB 2.0 Port Replicator Freezes Issues and Problems

    Okay, I have THREE of these port replicators in my office, and ALL THREE have the exact same problem on various laptops(X1, T420, Edge 13) with various kayboard/mice.  I've been through all stages of the port replicator drivers on the various systems, and the issue is always there.  All laptop drivers are updated.
    Here is the issue: working away, and then bam, mouse and keyboard don't work.  I'm working in a external monitor only display setup.  I go to the keyboard/touchpad on the laptop and they don't work...however ctrl+alt+delete works on the laptop keyboard(not the regular one).  Then the touchpad works...but I can't click on any of the settings EXCEPT sleep.  When I press a button to wake it up, everything works fine.  Basic external keyboards/mice, no need for different drivers.
    The other thing that fixes everything is unplugging the USB connection from the port replicator and plugging it back in to the laptop(or unplugging the power to the port replicator). 
    The weird thing is that I took the keyboard and mouse and they are plugged into the laptop itself, NOT the dock, and I still get the same issue with responsiveness.  This happens on ALL the docks, so it's not a keyboard/mouse driver thing. 
    The one thing that's occuring to me is that maybe it's a weird display issue?  I haven't tried actually using the external or laptop keyboard to run commands while it's frozen...and I also haven't tried unplugging things from the port replicator one by one (such as unplugging the display cable from the port replicator, then the printer, then the ethernet).  I'll keep you updated if I get any further.  It's been like this for months, and my users are just doing the workarounds.  one thing is for sure...
    I'M NEVER GOING TO SUBSTITUE THIS PORT REPLICATOR FOR A NORMAL DOCK AGAIN! (although i have no choice with the X1). 

    Hi skrasher, welcome to the forum,
    could you please try the following to see if it changes the behaviour of the USB ports.  In Device Manager, with the port rep attached, disable the ability on each of the USB Root Hubs for Windows to disable the device in order to save power, restart the system and see if the problem still occurs.
    Let us know how you get on.
    edit; for clarity

  • Where can I download a user manual for Advanced Port Replicator III plus

    Where can I download a user manual for this?
    I have searched the download manuals section but cannot find a reference to this.
    Thanks for any help

    Seems this manual is not available in the Toshiba user manual page.
    But usually you should receive a user manual together with the Advanced Port Replicator III plus.
