Will the Lat E5410 support dual external monitors for bus graphics?

I need a new laptop. It needs to support two external 1920x1080 (i.e. 1080i) monitors. It's business graphics only. No video, etc. and I turn off the effects in WIN7.

It looks like the E5410 (internal video GMA 4500 aka GMA HD) plus the E-port replicator (not E-Port Plus) using 1 VGA monitor and 1 DVI monitor will do this (just like my current D630 does).

But getting Dell to confirm it is like pulling teeth. They all want to sell you up (even tech support).

Can someone confirm/deny that this config will work?

thanks!

If the D630 can do it then I'm sure that the E5410 will be able to do it although 1920 x 1080 through the analog VGA port may result in some image degradation (but no worse than what you are getting now).

Thanks! - have you (or anyone) actually used a latitude this way?

 

Personally, I don't have desk space for two monitors so I haven't had reason to try this configuration. However, I am sure others have done so. This thread (although about the E6400) is relevant.
