    To those who hook up to an external monitor how do you do it?

    Is there a way to hook up to a monitor/tv via HDMI oran adapter or a docking station available that provides a Display or HDMI port?

    Is VGA the only way, via direct hook up or docking station?

    The mini-docks from lenovo provide a DVI port on the back of them as well as the VGA port as well, and you can use both. If you want to boot to DVI you have to disable the switchable graphics though and set the card to the discrete graphics.
