    I just received my Mini Dock and was trying dual display.
    But I couldn't figure out how to set up native resolution on my external display with I extend or duplicate my laptop screen??

    Is there a trick I'm not aware of or something? :rolleyes:

    Does anyone know if you can do dual display on the T420? I guess one monitor using display port and the other monitor using VGA. Is this possible??

    I believe it is. Right click on the desktop and go to screen resolution and you should be able to set up your monitors.

    I think you can use 2 external and the laptop display as I can with the W520. The T520 can use 3 ext and the laptop so it bests both of us.
