Earth. I think.
Can I hook up an external monitor to a macbook pro running Lion in much the same manner as I would a Dell running Win 7? How does an external play with full screen apps?

Yes. You won't see full screen apps unless the MBP is in clamshell mode, though. It just displays the grey textured background...

Otherwise, it runs just as well. You just need a Mini Displayport adapter for the cord you're using to connect to the monitor.
