External display, WoW, 1920x1080

Hi all,

I recently purchased a 24" external monitor. I was hoping to, among other things, hook up my laptop to the monitor when I'm home and run WoW in 1920x1080 resolution (my MBP only goes up to 1280x800).

However:

1) I don't know how to convince WoW to open full screen on the external monitor (I can drag it there, but when I go full screen, it goes back to the laptop screen). Any help?

2) Even if I have it displayed on the external monitor, how do I convince programs that my computer supports 1920x1080 and thus allow me to change settings within WoW to display in that resolution?

Thanks!

If you want to run WoW at 1920 x 1080, you are going to have to use your Macbook Pro in Clamshell mode.
