Dual Monitor Capability

Question

I was wondering if there was a way to have dual monitors hooked up to a TSeries ThinkPad? I currently have dual monitors and a Lenovo tower and was going to switch to a TSeries Thinkpad w/docking station but I don't want to lose the dual monitors when I am at my desk. Can anyone advise?

Answer 1

Yes it is possible if you use the Advanced Mini-Dock, there are several posts on how to do this.
The easiest way to set it up is to attach one monitor to the
dock's VGA and one to the dock's DVI and create a profile in 
ThinkVantage Presentation Director, (shortcut Fn+F7).
When
creating your profile and selecting screens there is the option to
select output to DVI and VGA, this is only available if you first
de-select the internal screen. It will also allow you to clone the
screens or select extended desktop.
When docked the VGA port on the TP is disabled.
Another method would be to use the DualHead2Go solutions from Matrox.
Hope this helps
