    Hi
    Just wonder how many of you use the x200 ultrabase and can connect 2 external monitors? for some reason my laptop freezes once in a while whenever I connect the monitor through the DisplayPort - even if I connect only 1 monitor...
    if someone can share their experience, i'd really appreciate
    thanks

    I had the on/off problem before too with the Dell U2410, need to get the Displayport to dvi adapter to fix the issue.

    I have the DP to DVI adapter :D and it still didn't work. I see my friend having 2 external monitor and it seemed to work fine and none of the monitors is dell. is is possible that it's the problem with Dell Ultrasharp? and b/c our X series laptop does not have dedicated graphic card?
