    If you have a 1280x700 res and you plug in to an external monitor with say 1440x900 res. Does it upscale on the monitor? Or does it stay with the lower 1280x700 res of your laptop?

    You can adjust by right clicking on your desktop > properties > settings > display (multiple monitors) and adjusting each display separately and setting which is your primary display

    This is a good place to sneak in a question of my own, can you HDMI to Componet?
