Posted this on Thinkpads.com and just got one response where it worked well with a T43p 14.1 on a Dell 24" WS monitor but was wondering if anybody had this setup with the T60 or T61 14.1". Info on the Dell 2407WFP-HC UltraSharp states that the "Optimal Preset Resolution is WUXGA 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz". Can anybody give me an opinion with the resolution of the 14 " T61p being the lower sxga+ and not widescreen, how this configuration would work. Could I set the display in Vista Ultimate for wide screen when placed in the Advanced Dock and then back to 4:3 when using the T61p alone. Thanks.

When you connect your second display you should have the option of configuring both displays separately.

I'm going to have a similar setup - T61 14.1" widescreen with the advanced mini docking station and the Dell 2407 24" monitor. Laptop should be here Tuesday and maybe a week or so for the monitor( Costco didn't give me a delivery date for the monitor yet...just ordered it today.)

As far as your setup goes, it should do 1920 x 1200 just fine over the DVI connection on the docking station.
