    I've read elsewhere on these forums that a problem with the Sony docking station on the SZ models
    is that the external monitor is assumed to be on the left side of the laptop,
    and that users have to reset their monitor settings each time they plug back into the
    dock.

    What about other docks? Targus has a universal dock. Has anyone used this one
    with the Sony Vaio SZ series ? Any problems with the Targus ?

    Here are links to the two docks:

    I know from my experience, the monitor has always assumed to be on the right for me and my SZ and dock (which is where the monitor really is).
