Default 1920x1200 pc input monitor

Guys

I am currently doing some work rendered out at 1920x1080 full HD.

However i don't have a HD workstation.

The graphics card in my laptop has the ability to drive a monitor/tv with full 1080p resolution.

Am i right in thinkin then that in order to view my HD work all i need to do is connect my laptop to a full HD monitor and set the monitor to be the only display and then set the resolution to 1920x1200???

Ok this is where the problem lies. I thought that would be the case but clearly not. The TV i was connected to to practice is a full 1080p res TV, but it stated in the manual that it can only display this res through a HDMI cable.

The highest res i could get through the PC input was around 13??x7??

Fair enough this is still HD but only 720.

Therefore if i want to get full viewing capabilities from my renders, i would need a monitor that has a PC input resolution of 1920x1200????

If this is the case, does anybody have any suggestions as to which one would be good.

I have picked out this one, but can anyone guide me as to whether this will do what i need it to do. All i need is to be able to view renders and animations projected from my laptop on the monitor in full HD??

Here is the monitor i found:

Samsung SM-245B PLUS 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black
