So far I haven't found any problems with my X220 (haven't really exercised it much, but no ghosting that I can see, don't yet want to put an mSATA card in the WWAN slot, and haven't been affected by the slow speed of i7 on 65W adapter.
I'm planning to run two external monitors on one of those trees, probably 24" or 23". I'm getting addicted to external+internal but that's much less practical since I end up putting the notebook in prime desk real estate. Currently have an old Dell UltraSharp 24". I like it but would probably hand it down and get two new ones for myself. Shopping for new ones, I find they have three lines: UltraSharp, Professional, and [consumer]. The [consumer] ones look like they have a wide shiny bezel though the screen supposedly has anti-glare coating. No VESA mounting but there's a guy who sells adapters on eBay. Professional and UltraSharp look like narrower, matte bezels, though there's no spec on them. Professional sounds good, only 16:9 though they have LED backlight. 24" UltraSharp is still 16:10 but 23" is 16:9. Both are IPS and I don't see a reference to LED backlight. The 24" UltraSharp is the expensive one, perhaps because of the 16:10. UltraSharp: 24" $600, 23" $320 (24" on sale at dell.ca for $450; Dell US for $480). Professional: 24" $320, 23" $270. Dell's comparison charts are useless for comparing, so I ask the experts here: which is "better": UltraSharp w/IPS or Professional w/LED? I know no one can quantify the benefit of 16:10 vs. 16:9 but I'm not sure I'd want to invest in 2x$600 to get it (though 2x$450... :).
