    I can only think of two reasons for the negative votes:

    1: These users think that my answer is wrong, but are unwilling to explain why or provide a 'correct' answer.

    2: These users feel that more explanation is required… yet don't feel that they want to do so, or even comment that this is the problem.

    As Flyingmoo suggests below, you can't get a monitor at anything like this resolution at 24 Inch (24' (Feet) is perhaps another story). So there is no problem.

  If you are only thinking 24' then 1920x1200 is the maximum in that size, which won't have any issues with your laptop. Most 24' are 1920x1080 which will also work perfect.

  I had a lot of issues getting over 1080 through HDMI. From my reading it seems that while HDMI is technically capable of delivering over this resolution a lot of cards won't output through HDMI and even monitors won't accept higher from HDMI. I was able to install a cracked driver and output at 1600 through HDMI but at a low refresh rate. That was on an nvidia card and dell monitor.

    I've had no troubles on the laptops I've tried, but different laptops can vary a lot on this sort of thing.
