T410 VGA or DisplayPort?

#1 Post by Olwe » Fri Feb 14, 2014 12:31 pm

I understand that my t410 has both VGA and DisplayPort. Does that mean I can run two monitors, or is it just one OR the other. I'm a victim of the dreaded t410 docking station fritzing-out issue and I'd like some way to run two monitors without the docking station.

I'll soon be getting an adapter and I'll just try it myself. But in the meantime, if anybody knows off the top of their head. . . .

Shouldn't be a problem running with two at the same time.

They do make USB to DVI adapters that will work with your T410.
