The video card is shared (not dedicated) but has a nice HDMI output. Try it out and let me know if you still see any issue with the black screen.

AMD is not the good processor. Easy getting hot and the processor will be slow down when it hot. You should try any laptop with Intel 2 core dual 2.0 to 2.2, 3-4 GB rams they are HOT :D

Since you configure the 2nd monitor as "extended desktop mode" it should display just the background.
You have to drag non-maximized screen(s) to your 2nd monitor manually.

Or you can select "Dual Monitor Mode" for TKaraoke then double click on video portion of TKaraoke display --> the 2nd monitor will display TK video.

Windows Vista "Clone Mode" might be what you looking for ... instead of "extended desktop mode"

Sux!

I guess the ATI Mobile Graphics does not work like the Desktop ATI Video Card! - I just have to use the Laptop in the Clone mode.

On the Desktop I can configure the Video Screen appears on both displays but not on the Laptop in Extended Mode. On the Desktop I have all the normal Program Controls with the Video Screen and only the Video Screen in full-screen on the TV. I was hoping that I would be able to do the same on the Laptop!

BTW - I really like Win7 (64bit); it is so much faster than the Vista - Win7 should be a free upgrade for the owners of Vista :)

Hi all,

Off the topic....I am having a DELL Inspiron 6400, and now the monitor is having a bunch of solid lines in part of the monitor...What could be wrong with it? Is it easy to replace the screen and where can I buy replacement one? Thanks in advance....

HP.
