    Yes, the dm4 will be able to drive a 1080p monitor, it'll be 1920 x 1080 on the monitor and 1366 x 768 on the laptop screen. You can choose to stretch your desktop across two monitors, or as is more likely the case since your laptop screen is faulty, just replicate the desktop on the monitor and use that as the main screen.

    Press the "Windows" and "P" key at the same time and choose "Projector Only"
