Official Sony VPC-Z2 (VAIO Z 2011) Series Owners' Thread

[Walter K]

Yesterday had the possibility to measure/calibrate the 1600x900 Z display in big shop. Sadly the FHD panel only available by order from Sony direct. Here my results - an excellent panel is inside!

Maybe anybody know if it's a fuel 8 Bit panel?

Best, Walter

HELP REQUIRED: VGA connection to external monitor when connected to power supply renders monitor unusable due to flickering and interference.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any resolutions?

HELP RENDERED: No. I've attached my Z2 to several VGA LCD screens and even more projectors.

Since there are no VGA adapter screw holes on the Z2, make sure you have the cable snugly attached. You may try wiggling it around a bit too. The pins can go catawampus on the male VGA adapter over time.

...and in a vein attempt to delay the inevitable, there are still valid reasons to use the VGA port. Please don't tell this guy to use HDMI

I used a better cable to solve this problem.

Can you post the resultant ICC file for us?

Thx.

VGA Connection Issue:

So it is a problem that others have experienced? The 'charging' of the laptop means you can't use it with a monitor? There must be something wrong with the board of the laptop for it to effect the display so much.

I've been very careful with the connection and made sure it's face on and plugged in correctly. Like I mentioned if I just run from battery, there are no issues with flickering.

Thanks for the replies.

^No, but you could try a new cable. Also check your refresh settings.

Nobody has reported the specific issue you have

Here is the profile. But please note it's not perfect for every Vaio. ;)
