Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro and ThinkPad Yoga max external resolution
I am getting ready to test the max external display resolution for my ThinkPad Yoga and my wife’s Yoga 2 Pro (the new version of the Yoga 13). I will test the OneLink dock as well. 🙂
Reports indicate that 2560×1600 and 2560×1440 are possible.

Hello,
Did you ever get anywhere with your wifes Yoga 2 Pro? I cant seem to get it to work with a dell u3014. The yoga 2 pro identies it but doesn’t seem to send a strong enough signal or something as the dell doesn’t ever activate. The dell works flawlessly from my Macbook and the Yoga 2 displays other monitors at lower res. So I am thinking there is clearly something wrong with the yoga to high res u3014 monitor. Any ideas from your testing?
Hi Chris,
Thank you for your comment. That would be awesome to use your nice U3014 with the Yoga 2 Pro. Unfortunately my 30″ Dell only has DVI (not HDMI) input so I haven’t been able to test yet at 2560×1600. However, later today I will verify on a different AOC monitor that the Yoga 2 Pro can at least do 2560×1080 (that’s my wife’ monitor).
I know in the past when trying to do high-res via HDMI I would sometimes have to adjust the refresh rate, at one point 24Hz was required to get a monitor to work for me. Along those lines, have you tried specifying a custom resolution/refresh-rate display setting on your Yoga 2 Pro? There are some tips at this forum thread that may be useful:

I expect that it should at least work at 2560×1600 @ 24Hz 🙂
Please keep me posted on your progress Chris!

I have a Thinkpad Yoga and I’d like to find out if I can connect a 2560×1440 monitor.
Hi David,
Thank you for your nice comment and great question. You should have no problem with 2560×1440 via the DisplayPort port on the onelink dock.
Best regards,

PS does your monitor have a DisplayPort port or is it only HDMI/other?
