Has anyone tried using the s video out on the docking station? Eventhough it would not be as clear as the VGA, it would be handy in some cases. I tried hooking up to it but nothing happened.

I have a Dell 25.5″ monitor hooked up via VGA. The picture is surprisingly good, but not quite as good as I believe DVI would be. If I look really close I can definitely see that the signal isn’t completely clean (ie, there’s a little bit of static), but from “normal” viewing angle I almost can’t tell that static is there. Of course, I have some vision issues that may hide or augment some of the problems of VGA vs. DVI, so don’t take my word for it.

Thanx a million for the review. But also I have concerns about the quality of the VGA out. Have you tried attaching a large external LCD Monitor with high resolution to the notebook? I really wish it would have a DVI out. Not on the notebook itself but at least on the docking station! Do you know if HP has plans on building a new docking station with DVI out? Would be great to know. If so I would go and buy this baby right away.

Cheers!

Hello Warner from down under in Australia,

My question is in regard to viewing movies on the 2730p is the picture and sound quality good. I am deliberating between the TX2525 and the 2730p. I use mso applications, including outlook emails, please help me make the right decision.

I like the sound of the 2730p but weight is also an issue how heavy is the tablet when I need to travel with the docking station and DVD player ?

Could you show a demo of viewing a movie ?

Tks

Hi,

Are you using it as e-reader ?

Thanks,
Shaul.

Let's make best tablet pc ever: take 2730p, add dual-touch capability (optional), 13,3" screen with 1680x1050 resolution (obligatory), hardware button to decrease resolution to 1280x800 by physical disabling of certain pixels (for power saving).

Damn, why all manufacturers make WXGA a standard...

I currently have a Toshiba M400 tabletpc laptop, but thinking of buying a Dell XT or HP2730p to replace it.

When docked I have the DVI connector (on the dock) connected to a Dell 24" widescreen monitor at 1920x1400(?) and the VGA connector (also on the dock) connected to a Wacom 21" 21UX Cintiq tablet monitor at 1600x1200.

Can I do the same with a Dell XT or HP 2730p tablet?

Can you test its inking accuracy, there has been reports of bad parallax effect on this tablet and inaccuracy espicially at the edge.
Thank You.

JK - What's the highest resolution monitor that you've used with the 2730p in and out of the dock? I have a nice 1920x1200 I want to use, but the VGA-out from the tablet itself is less than ideal. I tried the monitor with a different computer that has DVI and it was much better.

Anyway - I have heard rumors that VGA-out on laptops is sometimes not great because of the power connector being near the VGA port (I don't know how accurate that is, but I can believe interference could be an issue). So I am wondering if the docking station VGA-out is perhaps a better quality output than the direct port on the tablet.

HP - why not update the docking station with a DVI out??

You can add GPS via Bluetooth or USB, that's it.
