1366 x 768 maximum compatible external monitor screen size?

[a_medico]

I had almost fixed 27 inch AOC external monitor for my 14 inch laptop, when a friend said the display wouldnt be good because of the max resolution.

Max resolution of my laptop is 1366 x 768. What would be the maximum size of external monitor compatible with this resolution? Will it be too bad on 27 inch monitor?

Resolution is related to monitor or display screen. In Ur case u might have to change the resolution each time u r trying to change from laptop to external n vice versa.

laptop screen resolution has nothing to do with external monitor resolution.when you connect an external monitor to laptop,windows gives you 4 options when pressing win key+P:
1)computer only(external monitor off)
2)duplicate(same display on laptop screen & external monitor with lower resolution among the 2 screens.i.e.between 1366*768 laptop screen & 1080p external screen,1366*768 will be selected for both screens)
3)extend(display split between 2 screens)
most common usage-->4)projector only(laptop screen off,external screen on with whatever native resolution that external screen has is automatically selected by windows)

So is Y480 compatible with i2769? Will the display good enough for ms word, lightroom for photo editing and some occasional movies?

dont duplicate, use extended mode
1920x1080 is good

Will it improve the display?
