Ok, I did some Google searching awhile back and my vid card (Mobile Intel GFX Media Accelerator X3100) supposedly supports up to 1600x1200 on a secondary monitor. But in the options it says otherwise.
So, is what I found true? Or can my laptop support higher resolutions?

Just want to add that you should run your monitor on any other than its natural resolution to keep quality 
|
Really? It seemed really simple to me. Maybe it's because I had Vista and you didn't? It seems to be exactly the same. And why wouldn't I run it on the monitor's native resolution? It would be blurry if I set it to a lower resolution, and it doesn't accept signals higher than 1280x1024.
So can anybody else answer my question about the vid card? I'm assuming the options are only there because that's the highest resolution at the time the OS was last updated, but I'm not sure because I would buy a bigger monitor if Google lied to me.
Also, while this topic is up, is this a good monitor? I'm not looking for a super-sweet monitor, I just want it to get the job done while still being OK for gaming and has to be cheap.

Alright thanks for the help.
