Macbook able to drive 1920x1200?

[servognome]

I'm looking at changing from my old Macbook Pro that I got last year to the new Macbook mostly because of portability.
I do use my current MBP at home with a 23" ACD, and the video drives well enough for my daily use as well as low action games like Civ4 and WoW.

My biggest worry in going from the Pro to the new MB is running WoW, or stuttering when watching videos on the external monitor.
Anybody have experience wtih the new Macbook with a 23" ACD? Any problems with the video running video, games, or anything at the higher resolution.

It should, I mean it will power the new LED display which has that resolution or better I forget.

From Apple.com:

Extended desktop and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on an external display, both at millions of colors

So yes.

I think he knows that you can use a 23" ACD. He wants to know how well it works or if there is lag and stuff like that. I don't have a alu MB but I do have a unibody MBP and 20" ACD and I haven't noticed any issues when using the 9400M(same one as the MacBook).

The Macbook's resolution is significantly lower... 1280x800.

it is an LCD screen by the way, the LED is for the backlight of the LCD screen.

The new LED display has a resolution of 1920x1200.

Ahh, I thought that poster was referring to the Macbook's LED display.

Yes, this is what I was asking, sorry I wasn't clear.
I know technically the Macbook is capable of running an external monitor at higher resolution, but what I'm wondering about is if the video chip is capable of handling video & low action games smoothly at the higher resolution.
