Multiple Monitor Question

[seattleike]

For a long time I have been very happy with my advanced mini dock setup with a 24" Dell as my primary using the DVI and a 19" Dell as my secondary with analog connection. I decided to buy another 24inch Dell to run in place of the 19". I set it up to also run at 1920 * 1200. Everything looks fine except the analog one seems to be a little "jittery." Things kind of wiggle. Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong?

OK

After many hours of messing around I have it fixed. Update the Bios! No idea why this makes a difference but it does!

A T60p in a Advanced Mini DOck with 2 Dell 24" monitors is a beatiful thing!!!!!!!!!!!

It works perfectly. The DVI one looks better but it is very close. My wife can't tell any difference.

with the mini dock, when u plug in ur 2 monitors , does that mean u have 3 displays running (including your laptop) ?

or does everything from your laptop get moved onto one of the screens?

im curious because i might get 2 17'' displays so its more like home.

Seattleike - It could have been the reboot that does it. Sometimes the LCD monitors (via analog) sync up well to the signals, sometimes they don't.

PaOol - With the mini or advanced dock, if you use your DVI and VGA connectors, the internal will be dark.

I have the laptop closed when I have it on the dock. Honestly the T60P's screen is not the greatest. I guess it is a tradeoff for battery life compared to the new super bright shiny ones you see on more consumer focused laptops.

I don't think it was the reboot. I tried reboot several times, like when I updated the video driver etc.

Does anyone know if the Nvidia card on the new T61P is considerably bettter then the ATI FireGl V5250 in mine?
