    Hi all, please help me with my question:

    I have these hardware and i`m happy
    HP EliteBook 8440p notebook (VD484AV)
    HP 230W Advanced Docking Station (NZ223AA)

    but i want to upgrade my notebook to HP EliteBook 8560p (LG735EA) with ATI card to use EyeFinity with 3 big 27" monitors, for example HP ZR2740w (max resolution 2560x1440).
    If I'll connect two them to my docking station (through DisplayPort) and last one connect directly to my new notebook (through DisplayPort), can i use maximum resolution 2560x1440 on every display ?


    from notebook datasheet:
    http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/13947_na/13947_na.PDF

    External
    Up to 32-bit per pixel color depth DisplayPort supports resolutions up to 2560 x 1600, 30-bit color depth at 60 Hz, and full HD (1920 x 1080) monitors, 24-bit color depth at 120 Hz VGA port supports resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 at 75 Hz, and lower resolutions at up to 100 Hz DVI-D (single link) video signal available through DVI port in optional HP Docking Station (sold separately) supports resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at both full and reduced blanking, and 1920 x 1200 at reduced blanking

    docstation datasheet doesn`t contain any info about resolutions:
