Vantec Laptop Docking Station with Video User’s Manual
Some monitors advertise the supported modes through the video connector. If this
is the case, the video component identifies the supported modes from the monitor.
If the monitor does not advertise the supported modes, the video software chooses
a set of common screen modes for the monitor.
The software supports the modes listed below.

About the resolutions and refresh rates available to users
The resolutions and refresh rates available to users through Windows are
determined by the support from the following elements:
■ The video component of the docking station
■ The primary monitor and the add-on monitor
■ The primary video card on your computer and installed drivers
Therefore, for example, if your monitor does not support a resolution of
1600x1200, then 1600x1200 is not possible although your docking station’s
video component supports 1600x1200. This ensures that the monitor cannot be
put into an unsupported mode that may result in equipment damage.
