Laptop resolution support

I'm looking into buying a laptop for all my non trading related apps/files. I would like to use the external VGA to connect to my center 24"(1920x1200) screen. I talked to tech support from HP and they said they didn't carry a laptop that would support 1920x1200.

So my question is, are there any affordable laptops out there that would support 1920x1200 through an onboard video card? Or will I have to buy an some sort of external device? Thanks.
 
I use a Dell with the 15.4" 1920x1200 screen. I LOVE it.

However... this screen has a very high pixel density. A typical desktop LCD will run usually about 85-100 DPI. This screen runs nearly 150 DPI. That means, per square inch, there's 225% as many pixels as a desktop display.

You should have good eyes, and you should expect to sit closer to this screen than most others. The compensation is that it can display a TON of information in a small package. :) It's probably something you should try before you buy, if possible, because some people strongly dislike extremely high density displays.

Thanks for the responses guys. This laptop will be for general use and won't need to be a workhorse so I don't wanna spend a ton.

gnome, isn't it WUXGA for 1920x1200? Dell seems to list it as Widescreen UXGA, I assume they mean it supports 1920x1200 then? Because UXGA is 1600x1200.
