Several monitors x201T with ban

I'm looking for the simplest way to use 2 or 3 external monitors in mode 'Extend' with my x201T-0831 moored to the dock of 200 ban.  I don't need great resolution, just trying to keep organized with many projects using Outlook, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc. - several windows open at the same time.  Have VGA screens, but loans to buy more if necessary.  Would appreciate any help.  Found wires for other models of Lenovo referring to third-party products, but I can't say which is better for the x 201 for this type of need.

Thanks for any help!

Thank you, Danielle.

I followed your links.  As I watch the T410s ban at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-76519&selectarea=SUPPORT&tempsel..., it seems that the connectors are slightly different between the ban and the one I have, the x 200.  On the T410 ban, there are two DVI ports and a VGA port.  On the x 200 ban, there is a VGA port at the back, next to a DisplayPort, and there is no DVI port.  The x 201 Tablet has a VGA port on the left side of the tablet itself, but I'll assume that is disabled when the Tablet is rooted in the x 200 docking ban.

I'll start with the assumption that I need to get a second monitor connected to the docking ban and use the DisplayPort port to do.   Since I was extra VGA monitors on hand, I'll buy Lenovo DisplayPort to VGA (analog only) cable from monitor part number 5794393 http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70321.  I'll try to get two VGA monitors upward and running in the configuration "Extend".  I will present on the progress made in the coming weeks.  Thank you.

Update and additional comments:

It is now December 3, 2010, twelve days after that I started this answer.  Additional measures:

1. I looked more closely at two monitors that I have, and have all both DVI and VGA ports.  I realized that most of the monitors, at least for the past five years, have this system double connector - I just used the VGA connector since it's what I do since the 1980s and I never had a reason to learn more about DVI.  I decided it was the right time to learn something new.

2. I ordered the single-link DVI - D Monitor Cable DisplayPort / http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:item.detail?...

I found this on the main Web page of Lenovo USA by following the links store > Accessories > cables and connectors.  This is the fourth element displayed on the first page.  Cost of $27.13 including taxes and delivery United States.  Arrived today, so 12 days to fill orders.  The cable has Lenovo part number 45J7915.  Of interest, the date of manufacture for the part is '2010-11-27' and 11/29 China shipping date.  This looks like something that could probably also be purchased in both major electronic supply store.

3. I followed the instructions at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-76519&selectarea=SUPPORT&tempsel..., kindly provided by Danielle.  I found that it worked better print 3 pages of instructions so that I have didn't disable images of instruction I changed monitors.

4. I thought that instructions, intended to be the ThinkPad T410s, were very clear and I just had to adjust my thinking a bit because the X 200 ban has a different configuration for the connectors on the back.  On the X 200 ban, the connector remains blue VGA of the Middle when seen from behind.  There is only a single DisplayPort connector rather than two, and that is a black (not white) just to the left of the blue VGA port.

5. After following the correct sequence listed in steps 1 through 4, I found that my monitor connected to the VGA port, designated as "Monitor 2", remained black.  I had a picture on the Thinkpad x201T (listed as "monitor 1") and the DVI monitor, listed as "monitor 3".  I was able to use both monitors in extend mode, so that I could drag the arrow of the mouse smoothly through to the next screen.

6 I then to the "Troubleshooting" of this same step "Setup multiple views for ThinkPad T410s", more precisely in the line:

"If you followed steps 1 through 4 and one or more of your screens does not connect, then you must change the display screen resolution."

By clicking right on the display screen, I was introduced to the great tool for the configuration of multiple screens.

I had several stumbling blocks to work through, and my experience could be useful to other readers:

(a) I confirmed what others have said I am only able to watch two monitors, not three, with this configuration.

(b) Resolution display is a misleading title of the window that appears when you have more than one monitor connected.  A more accurate title would be "set up multiple monitors - select duplicate or extend Mode, decide who monitors, designate which monitor is the primary monitor is connected and disconnected, and set the resolution for each monitor.

(c) the configuration that I opened the screen resolution window showed that 1 monitor, the ThinkPad LED display, the VGA monitor as Monitor 2 and DVI Monitor 3 monitor.  The physical layout on my desk, from left to right, was 2-3-1.  The DVI monitor features a 22 "display, VGA has 19" and I wanted the larger screen directly in front of my external keyboard and mouse.   Resolution of the pictorial display screen showed the monitors installed (from left to right) 3-2-1, 3 and 1 blue and (active), and 2 gray (inactive).  I got confused trying to drag the mouse from one screen to the other to the first mouse seems to hit the left wall of the ThinkPad screen and and do move to the left on my screen more grand, who showed a great wallpaper.  I finally realized that if I moved the arrow to the right wall of the ThinkPad, he moved smoothly on the big screen.  The mouse arrow and screens are behaving as the pictorial resolution screen display showed the monitors built (from left to right) 3-2-1, not that I had actually prepared physically on the my table.  I was fooling around with by dragging images autour in display screen resolution pictorial until this photo with the real physical layout.

(d) I had to then select the left (VGA) monitor as the primary monitor.  I've learned to follow the caveat to push "Apply" with each individual before moving on to the next step.

(e) once I had unchecked the main monitor, the screen of ThinkPad, I was free to designate the ThinkPad screen as 'disconnect this Display.

(f) once the ThinkPad screen was off, I was free to choose monitors 2 and 3 as active monitors in extended display Mode and move the mouse easily throughout the whole of the left edge of the screen 2 (my monitor of the left hand) to the right edge of the monitor 3 (my Center and the larger screen).  1, the ThinkPad screen monitor, remained gray.

(g) a minor bug, when I clicked on the 'Apply' button for each of these changes, nothing happened.  I have to click it a second time to apply to commit.  (I use Windows 7 x 64, updated weekly)

(h) another minor obstacle was that I had to get the best resolution for a monitor before I designated as primary monitor.  I got stuck a couple of times with a resolution too large, unable to see all of the icons or the taskbar in Windows 7.

(I) now that I'm all together to the top with several monitors, my first experience, I realize that a more fluid experience would be if all monitors were of the same size of the screen, closely aligned together at the same height.  With my current setup, a monitor is 3 "higher than next to him, and the resolution is different between the two screens. MTY eyes must make two adjustments that I scan back between two screens.

Thanks to James for his excellent help!  It also has the same information published on the website of T4190s: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/How-do-I-setup-multiple-display-for-the-Thi...

    Hi guys.

    My Dell U2410 monitor will not always be well behave on the displayport.  Sometimes the monitor goes into power saving mode - when you try to activate after docking.  No doubt he did this because of some kind of timeout - if it does not start when the displayport is enabled in a few time, the thinkpad see no usable display and it stops.

    I tried the video drivers of Lenovo System Update, as well as those coming from Microsoft Windows Update (who are a little older).  I get the same behavior.  The VGA connection for the same works big monitor and I who would use except she has a very significant reduction in Visual quality to this resolution, and I need both the harbour VGA and displayport simultaneously as the Tablet pushes the two monitors on the dock.

    I run Windows 7 x 64.

    I installed the operating system from scratch, and I took care to follow the instructions in "installing OS from scratch" Lenovo on their Web site.  Entirely, I realize that the order of the driver and the software install issues with Thinkvantage stuff.

    I do IT doesn't work and I have deployed a lot of laptops Lenovo to employees over the years.  I don't think it's something I am doing wrong, but you never know!

    Just to see if it was a problem with my windows install, I reinstalled Windows yesterday, and I get the same behavior.

    I also get this weirdness with the T500, R500, W500 on the U2410... it was the only way that I've had time to get a passive DP to DVI, use the DVI port instead of the DP port on the monitor.

    You can use any DVI monitor DVI port directly or have any VGA monitor with the power that you adapter. A HDMI monitor might work with an adapter DVI to HDMI in a pinch, but HDMI tends to be more fickle.

    I wan't to be able to get the raw data from the camera and analyze it.

    I found a simple soloution to this problem,

    Is possible to use a web browsers invoke node basically give a screenshot of the web page (get image)

    It can then be loaded into a display of the image and will show exactly what the web browser is showing and can also be analised by unflattening the pixmap.

    Maybe it's not the most effective method, but he turns my rig fast enough and does the job

    It may also be a setting value of the display of the photo to "smooth updates" that gets rid flashes white as the changes to the image, if anyone else has this problem.

    When I'm accommodating the toolbar of the new option to arrange the icons on the toolbar toolbar change several tools come with the words "wrong tool" and have no icon associated with them. What are these missing tools 'bad '?

    I see you have fixed this now, but I was about to tell you that you could have accommodated in the 'Bad' by its shortcut "I" tool.

    To save a custom toolbar, get everything the way you want and click on the button space work, click new workspace

    Type a name for the workspace, and check all three options.

    If I have to use a single screen, I use a variant of the Essentials workspace with minor panels collapsed and dock for main panels.  I call this Essentials 2

    It also seems to me that with all these options, it's stupid not to take full advantage of them, so I separate my most used instruments for their own group and double column toolbar to adjust the screen.  I tried to drop in the groups for the most used tool near the document image (right). I love it, but it take some time remembering the new positions.

It could be random effects. I see that I can apply a unique pictures transition effect at the same time, but how to apply different transitions not one by one?

Is this possible? Or a tool to apply random transition effects between photos? Or a way to automate the actions to apply different transitions similar to what we can do in Photoshop? Thank you!
