Is the ULTRA Dock the only version that will support a dual monitor for my ThinkPad T540P? Or can I save my money getting the PRO or BASIC Dock?

the device has two display ports , one hdmi, one dvi and one vga port, if your monitors has support display port display is ultimate otherwise you will have 2 different quality display, my monitor support display ports so no problem for me

The previous answers have already covered the specific question, however I would add that depending on your laptop model, you should have an available USB 3.0 port on the side or back of it that is accessible when docked. Less convenient than permanently connecting the externals to the dock, but does work (that's what I do).

I bought mine at Best Buy when I originally got it. I love the keyboard dock for this little laptop / tablet. I tried doing a search on Amazon for it, and it didn't come up. On another page, it called it the TF810C-DOCK-GR. Unfortunately, Best Buy's website is not working, but I doubt it would be in stock there. I found a few places that listed it when I did a Google search (select shopping). Good luck!

no, I use it with my system (two dell laptops, both with ePort docking stations - one is a E7240, the other a E6410) - I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 right now but have also used Oracle Linus, Mint, and even Windows from time to time without any problems.Check your resolution for the second monitor - did you maybe pick a 16x9 instead of a 16x10 (or vice versa)?

No, the T440S uses a different dock. According to Lenovo, the correct dock for the T440S is part number 40A10090US.

I didn't know the answer off the top of my head, so I looked it up on the Lenovo site, which stated, in relevant part: Lenovo DisplayPort to Dual DisplayPort Adapter (0B47092) provides multi-monitoring at its finest without the use of an expensive graphics card. The two modes supported are Expanded mode and Mosaic mode. In Expanded mode, one ThinkCentre DisplayPort can be connected to two identical monitors with one DisplayPort to Dual DisplayPort Adapter and two Options DisplayPort cables (0A36537). In Quad Mosaic mode, two ThinkCentre DisplayPorts can be connected to four identical monitors with two DisplayPort to Dual DisplayPort Adapters and four DisplayPort cables. Maximum resolution in Quad Mosaic mode supported is 3840 x 2160. I hope this answers your question.

Not sure. I know that this particular docking station only works for a few models, I just can't remember what they are. I actually had to do a ton of research to find one for my t440s, I found that lenovos spec sheet was the most helpful, however, very difficult to find.

I am currently using 3 monitors with this dock. All 3 are Dell U2414H monitors using DisplayPort daisy chaining. There is one DP cable coming from the dock to my far left monitor. Then from the left monitor, there's a DP cable to the middle, and the same for the right. Be aware that there are firmware updates for this dock that fix the DisplayPort hub that's included in the dock. This is the support page that has the firmware update I used to fix some of my DisplayPort issues: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/pd028010

Mine came with the 90 Watt power adapter and the power cord, although the same adapter and cord that I already had with the ThinkPad notebook would have also worked with the dock. These docks are no longer being made or sold by Lenovo, so they are either leftover old stock or refurbished, and are being provided by third-party sellers. Mine came from a different seller than the one Amazon is currently showing, so I think you need to contact the listed seller and ask them the question directly (if you click on the seller's name in Amazon's listing, it will take you to the seller's page where there is a "contact seller" link).

The dock works well with the TF 700 I bought from Amazon. I hated using the touch screen for my mail, this made it much easier and I got the one to match my TF700 (of course).

I bought this docking station and I do have two monitors hooked up to it. In fact that is why I bought the docking station! I can't answer what kinds of Dell laptops it will work with for you though.

This Docking Stand is designed for use on USB 3.0-enabled ultrabook laptops like what you have. Get one for yourself, Raul!

I use it with a t520. Lenovo website says it fits all variations. I don't think that should be a problem for you. They don't have many versions of the dock. Hope this helps.

Does the USB 3.0 work over the displayport connection? My laptop (T420) doesn't have USB 3.0 built-in, and neither does the dock I have.

1. Yes, it will support two external monitors. 2. The dock plugs into an available USB 3.0 port on your laptop. Please check with Plugable for your configuration.

I'm sorry I can't be more definite. I don't know the difference between the two models, I don't even know which model I have without tearing it apart to see the model # (it isn't readily visible). As far as whether your model laptop will work, they are real good about saying which model comps will work with which dock. All I can say is that mine is working like a champ, and if you decide to get one I'm sure you'll be as thrilled with it as I am with mine!
