I don't really understand the question. I plug my laptop into a docking station and set the screens accordingly. I have the laptop screen at 1366x768, screen 2 at 1920x1080 and screen 3 at 1280x1024. All works nicely (windows 7).
Or are you replicating the laptop screen to your monitor?

External monitor and DPI
I currently have an old 1366x768 15" laptop with a 21" 1080p screen attached. This works out quite well as the pixel size is roughly the same between the two. I've been looking at new laptops and quite a few come with QHD screens, but that means using a higher DPI to make text readable which will then make the text on the external monitor far too large.
From what I've Googled, Windows 7 has no solution to this, Windows 8.1 has a solution that doesn't work very well, and Windows 10 does it properly - "almost as good as OSX". Though how much this depends on applications supporting a particular API I don't know.
Before I spend the money does anyone have experience of this, and how well does it work in reality?
