Its funny but the industries have decided that they were going to mask their poor designs by offering large LCD screens that take up as much space as possible.

I can't imagine sitting in front of this thing to do work. Now playing Crysis....]]>Mar 28th 2008 8:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/week-o-dell-scoops-part-deux-fini-the-latitude-e-series-acces/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/week-o-dell-scoops-part-deux-fini-the-latitude-e-series-acces/Mar 28th 2008 8:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/week-o-dell-scoops-part-deux-fini-the-latitude-e-series-acces/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/week-o-dell-scoops-part-deux-fini-the-latitude-e-series-acces/
Poor Dell. Just cant get the whole form and function concept down. ]]>Mar 28th 2008 8:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/week-o-dell-scoops-part-deux-fini-the-latitude-e-series-acces/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/week-o-dell-scoops-part-deux-fini-the-latitude-e-series-acces/
I agree this dock/LCD stand is quite ugly, but I wouldn't say they have been making a habit of it.]]>Mar 28th 2008 9:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/week-o-dell-scoops-part-deux-fini-the-latitude-e-series-acces/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/week-o-dell-scoops-part-deux-fini-the-latitude-e-series-acces/Mar 28th 2008 9:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/week-o-dell-scoops-part-deux-fini-the-latitude-e-series-acces/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/week-o-dell-scoops-part-deux-fini-the-latitude-e-series-acces/Mar 28th 2008 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/week-o-dell-scoops-part-deux-fini-the-latitude-e-series-acces/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/week-o-dell-scoops-part-deux-fini-the-latitude-e-series-acces/Mar 28th 2008 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/week-o-dell-scoops-part-deux-fini-the-latitude-e-series-acces/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/week-o-dell-scoops-part-deux-fini-the-latitude-e-series-acces/Mar 28th 2008 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/week-o-dell-scoops-part-deux-fini-the-latitude-e-series-acces/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/week-o-dell-scoops-part-deux-fini-the-latitude-e-series-acces/Mar 28th 2008 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/week-o-dell-scoops-part-deux-fini-the-latitude-e-series-acces/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/week-o-dell-scoops-part-deux-fini-the-latitude-e-series-acces/
Regarding the 24" monitor spec and thus 1920x1200 native res. Wasn't the previous upper limit on Latitude notebooks 1600x1200 for a digital port?

Can someone confirm that? And if that is so are we seeing the benefits of the new graphics cards in the Latitudes to be released June '08?]]>Mar 28th 2008 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/week-o-dell-scoops-part-deux-fini-the-latitude-e-series-acces/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/week-o-dell-scoops-part-deux-fini-the-latitude-e-series-acces/
To those that say this is a bad design I have to disagree, it does what it is intended to do if you need something like this. Now if you want dual monitors the other E-Ports give you that option, and if you just need a stand and want to hook up directly to your notebook just buy the Latitude Notebook stand. The options for the new Latitude seem good so far, now they just need to introduce and E-Dock with and internal bay for an express card add on and for an internal E-bay much like the D-Dock had.]]>Mar 28th 2008 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/week-o-dell-scoops-part-deux-fini-the-latitude-e-series-acces/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/week-o-dell-scoops-part-deux-fini-the-latitude-e-series-acces/
I forgot the D8xx had WUXGA... Just so I'm clear your connecting the D820 to the 24" monitor via analog VGA-- correct?

I've got zero experience with this so I'm asking out of ignorance. Is there generally a loss when you use a analog connection as opposed to a digital connection with respect to the "input lag" and "resolution fidelity" on a external monitor?

In other words-except for image size-- is your viewing experince the same using the ext. monitor vs. the LCD on the D820?

FWIW, assume I'm interested in business applications no gaming.
