Heya,
A newbie question I guess, but is Clearvue necessary to use the vga-out on an x51v? Ie, can I not just use the windows mirror mode, connected to the vga out cable, without the Clearvue installed?
Thanks!

I have the CV software loaded but often use mirror mode only when using the VGA cable. CV software is nice though since it automatically outputs to the VGA cable without having to enable mirror mode. It also includes a PDF viewer. But if you want to save storage space, then just use mirror mode.
