The F5U273 is a High Speed Docking Station. It allows you to connect more than one (1) monitor at a time, for a superior, digital video experience. This article will provide you instructions on how to set up high resolution on your external monitor.
In this scenario, neither Windows nor the F5U273 High Speed Docking Station's software allows you to get 1600x1200 resolution even if the monitor supports it.
