    Like the review, so have you tested the 4 LCD support on your laptop with the dock?

    P.S. T410s uses a 16:10 14.1 inch LCD, so the resolution has to be WXGA+ and not HD (which is a term used for 16:9 LCD). So you would need to modify the signature slightly.

    The dock supports up to 6 external monitors if you buy the adapters.

    I have tested my system with two external monitors as you can see here:

    I rounded the number ;) ha thanks. I'll update it if it gets to you that much.

    yes with the adapters... i have tested up to 8 monitors with my thinkpad, using 3 x usb2dvi adapters, DIY vidock with ati 5750 (3 monitors) and running two monitors off the laptop itself.

    Recently, a system (a desktop with 4 graphics card adapters) was tested at Lenovo to support 16 monitors.
