    Say if I have a 30" Monitor lying around the house, will I be able to use the screen to its native resolution (2560 x 1600) or will it only max out at 1600 x 900 or 1920 x 1080 (1080p)?

    If the video card supports it you will be. It's up to the video card alone, not your 30" monitor, not your laptop's resolution, etc.

    I have a question to add on to that.

    I am getting the HD 4570 in my new laptop and plan on doing hdmi out to my 1080p tv. Will the screen on my tv be clear or blurry?

    Thanks

    No, you willn't. A 2560x1600 monitor requierts a Dual Link graphic card. FW has a Single Link gpu.
