16:9 Laptop questions

Hi all,

I am looking to buy a new laptop and found that there are many new laptops with 16:9 ratios. One specifically i am interested in is 14.1 inches with a resolution of 1366x768. If i connect this laptop via hdmi to a 16:10 monitor, will the image be stretched or have black bars? Are there any 16:9 IPS or PVA monitors?

If you clone it it'll be stretched, but if you output it as a single display or dual display (different image on each screen) you can set those to be 16:10. That's what I do when hooking up my 16:10 laptop to my 16:9 TV.
