MacBook Pro and external monitor compatibility I just bought my first Mac (to learn to build apps!). I have the June 2012 non-retina display 15 inch MacBook Pro. Does any 16x10 aspect ratio montior technically work (monitor with VGA and DVI jacks)?

  Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native
  resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on up
  to two external displays, at millions of colors Thunderbolt digital
