Can the new Macbook run a 1080p external monitor?

[ra4oasis]

As the subject says, if someone where to buy a 2015 Macbook, could they hook up a 1080p external monitor and still perform okay? Also, for those you may have tried to do this, are you forced to do a mirrored display, or can you do an extended display as well (like a second monitor, with the first being the Macbook's built in display)?

1080p should be no problem

Well running it as an extended display is related to OSX, so yes you can do that.

I don't see why it could not drive a 1080p display since it can push a retina display.
