Here are the specs for my current laptop. I am planning to just plug the monitor into my laptop and get a wireless long range keyboard and mouse.

HP ENVY 17t Quad
Product number: E4S78AV

• Windows 8 64
• System Recovery DVD with Windows 8 64
• 4th generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700MQ Processor
• Included 2 Year Warranty
• Intel HD Graphics 4000
• 17.3-inch diagonal HD+ BrightView LED-backlit Display (1600 x 900)
• 16GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
• 1TB 5400 rpm Hard Drive
• NO mSSD Hard Drive Acceleration Cache
• No Additional Office Software
• Security Software Trial
• 6-Cell Lithium-Ion Battery
• SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-R/RW with Double Layer Support
• Standard Keyboard
• HP TrueVision HD Webcam w/ integrated digital mic
• 802.11b/g/n WLAN and Bluetooth(R)

My only question is the screen resolution. The new monitor's is higher. Does that mean my laptop will not support the higher number? Thanks.
Does anyone know the answer to my question about screen resolution? Currently it has a 1600 x 900 resolution screen and a Intel HD Graphics 4000 card. How does one determine if a monitor of 1920 x 1080 will work?
