    Did a bit of searching and think I'm all set, but would just like to get a confirmation....

    I plan to setup my T61 14" with the lenovo docking station/port replicator and use an external monitor on my home desk.

    My T61 is 1440x900 resolution. I have the integrated Intel graphics card. I notice the 19" LCD monitors match this resolution, while bumping up to a 22" monitor gets me sometimes up towards something like 1680x1050. If I use the docking station/port replicator with the monitor, am I going to have any issues with these not matching? I don't believe I will, but I'm no expert. Doing this setup will not result in super large icons/text on the external monitor will it? That is what I'm trying to avoid. If the 19" will look better, I'd rather give up the size and get that vs the 22.

    That's basically it. Think I'm gonna go with one of the Samsung monitors. If there's anything else out there I should do instead, please throw a suggestion my way. This is for basic computing. I'm not going to be gaming or watching movies/HD etc.

    Appreciate the help!
