This may not work for everyone but i have found a solution for my application. I have MB 2012 and i run 2 24" dell monitors. Native resolution is 1920 x 1080. I run the DL monitor in 1600 x 900 and the main monitor is via thunderbolt HDMI and i have been able to keep all three monitors including MB display up for 4 days no issue.

I do not restart my laptop at end of day i unplug bring home and then next AM open and plug it all back in. My DL link monitor is used for screen sharing so the resolution still comes out at 1920 when displayed in full screen.

I think this points to the issue is with DL running hi resolution in the MB because if i run 1920 windows server crashed and the monitor goes blank but still reports in so my apps are on a blank screen.

As i said it works for what i am doing but without a RDP session i wouldn't find it useful at 1600 x 900. Hope this helps.
