Hello,

I ordered a Sony Vaio Notebook. (Not arived yet).
It is included with a "Ati Radeon IGP 345M" chipset. (128 Mb, tiled by
two displays??) I want to see the possibilities by using dual display
options and how to set the screen.
The only product of Ati as nearby the number "345M" is a chip "340M"
http://www.ati.com/products/radeonigp/rigp340m.html

Does anybody know if I can use the same software, e.g. the "HYDRAVISION"
software utilities for this "345M" chip?

I couldn't find either, but I guess all of those Radeon graphic cards
has extensive possibilities to set color, contrast, brightness etc.
(As a photographer it is very important).

All the radeons use the same control panel, so no worries there... Dual
display is at the very least capable of:
- TFT screen
- external screen
- TFT + external; in clone mode, or really two screens

You WILL be working on an external screen, i guess?? TFT screens are never
as good for photo editing as CRT screens are...

Hello Thomas,
Thanks for the answers you gave me.

Good to know.

Well, I shall use the notebook for external location photography to
capture images by capture software. In that case I can not take a second
CRT monitor. But if it is about the TFT quality, that's why I did choose
for the Sony Vaio model with a "Onyx black" LCD screen. Looking around
to several notebooks, this screen do have the best clarity / luminance,
and do have a neutral "white" where many TFT screens do have a "cream"
white (yellowish, or green-yelowish white).

Also a test-image with a very fine defined grayscale, it shows even a
"tint" at RGB values just below 255, 255, 255, where many others
TFT-screens has no detail anymore in more low RGB values.
Test-images like these:
http://www.photocenter.de/page_down.html

Only negative side of the Sony screen is a small looking angle. So you
have to sit behind the screen just very straight in front.

But in cases where I do want to use a second monitor, I can make use of
the possibility. I do work from time to time within an advertising
photo-studio http://www.studiodewinter.nl/ , where they have several 22
inch CRT screens, that I could plugin.
But in spite of the possibility, the workflow mostly shall be that I do
use the notebook for "Capture" the images (with capture software). Make
a color correction etc. as good as I can make at the notebook, but
afterwards the files are send to the workstation including CRT screens,
where images are fine tuned.

Yeap, i noticed before, a friend of mine had a Vaio, it had a very 'white'
white colour indeed, compared to my creamish white.. I think that under the
circumstances, it's a very good choice ;-)

Enjoy the notebook ;-)
