    Hi all,

    I have decided on the Lenovo ThinkPad W510 431929G.

    Haven't bought it yet.

    This should be an easy question for the experts. I have a beautiful EIZO 2100 21" screen. Works best on DVI. How would I connect a ThinkPad W510 (or any ThinkPad...) to my DVI?

    - Is there a DVI socket? I never saw that on the specs.
    - Do I need to buy a docker (as for my ThinkpadT30)?
    - Is there an adapter?

    FYI: The exact model is ThinkPad W510 431929G.

    TIA

    There is a DVI on the Mini Dock Series 3 for the W510, if you ever go that route. I can confirm it works fine for my T510. The dock rocks.
