I meant "Which one above would allow me to connect that LCD mintor to
my laptop?"

I wouldn't use a docking station at all. If you intend to use the
laptop at a stationary location enough to warrant connecting it up to
an external monitor and docking station, I'd recommend getting a cheap
desktop computer and leave it at that place. Connect it to the laptop
ad-hoc network whenever you need to transfer data between the two.

You can get the entire 2nd computer for a bit more than you'd pay for
the docking station, and there's no reason not to go with a used unit
either.

You can connect the lcd monitor directly to the laptop... you don't
need a docking station for that. Well there are probably some models
that you can't do that with... but mine's 3 years old and it handles
that fine.

Nope. I will be away from home for traing and travels. In another
word, the desktop is becoming secondary + I will have room issue to
keep the two desktop I already have - one is really old and I am going
to put Linux and the other one, my primary one is acting up lately
suhc that I amy need a chip replaced. I am not even giving it
apriority to fix that because I need a good high end laptop and have
it with me all time.

I don't like used ones. I don't have time to check parts and no time
either if they go back soon after I bought it.
