Maximum resolution on external displays

This page list the maximum resolution you can get on an external display. Annoyingly, the official information is known to be incorrect in some cases. Please update with your info.

General remarks

Output via the analog VGA port is always limited to 2048x1536. This is a rather square aspect ratio. On modern monitors 1920x1200 is more likely the maximum.

Higher resolutions require either a dual link DVI or DisplayPort adaptor. In some cases these are present on the laptop, but more often they require docking station.
