Re: [Thinkpad] T41p and problems with Dell 24" WS monitor

Andrew,

My arrangement is vertical .. the Dell is above my A31p (open). The
Dell (1) is at 1920x1200 [16:10] and the TP (2) at 1600x1200 [4:3] ..
both aligned on column-1. The only inconvenience is that if my cursor
is toward the right edge of the DELL ... then I have to move left to get
down into the TP's monitor space.

As I am drifting toward a 30" monitor [2560x1600] your horizontal
solution occurred to me with 2 A31p units ... but it takes too much
space on my already too busy desk.
