Can T430s handle two 2560 X 1440 monitors?

I have already installed on using DisplayPort. But I heard if I use DP port replicator, I can install two. Is this true?

How does the image look on the external monitors, very washed out?

As far as I know, all 27" 2560x1440 monitors in existence are IPS. An IPS monitor would never look washed out.

But doesn't the video card on the laptop also determine the image quality on the screen? For example I have a very high quality monitor, I hooked up the asus zenbook to it, it looked awful!
