Hello,

I consider to buy a laptop with a small WXGA screen (11-12 inch).
Because i do not like the modern reflective screens (and you can
hardly find 'normal' screens) i plan to use when at home a 4:3 screen
with a higher resolution.

Do i, when connecting the external screen and turning the internal
screen off, need to change all kind of screen settings or does a
(modern) laptop recognise the screen and set the resolution
automatically including the aspectratio?

My new Dell E1505 switches between different internal and external
monitor configurations, no problem. You can use both screens at once,
or have it automatically use the internal one with the laptop open and
the external one with the laptop closed. Either way, it remembers the
settings for the displays.
