Can a TiBook be used with an externall monitor?
All you TiBook users out there..
Is it possible to plug it to an external monitor and have that running at bigger resolutions then the maximum possible on the built-in LCD?
Basically I want get an 800 mhz one but i need to be able to plug into my 19'er and run it at 1200 x 1600 while the laptop is closed and an external Keyboard and mouse are connected to it.. can it be done?

So is it possible to span across two monitors and use different resolutions on both?
That would be way cool !!!
( I mean when using OS X.2)

<strong>If you're spanning, then you're doing exactly that, each monitor will run at an independant resolution (unless you try to make them both the same res). And it works great on the Ti under 10.2.

I think that he wasn't sure if the spanning was only at the same resolution as the laptop LCD. I beleive this is the case with the iBooks. Apple crippled them so that you can't get a different resolution than the laptop LCD, on the external monitor. Or maybe it was that the external monitor could only go as high as the laptop LCD's max res, even though the video card supports high resolutions.

<strong>TiBook looks like shit when connected to a tv via s-video adapter cable that comes with the computer.</strong><hr></blockquote>
