I use Parallels on my system to run Windows. Someone was telling me that you can set it up so that Parallels runs on a 2nd monitor keeping your main laptop monitor OS X. Is is true I can hook a monitor into the video out and set it up so that Parallels runs Windows on this 2nd monitor?

If I remember correctly, Parallels opens Windows in a window (no pun intended), so couldn't you just move that window over to the other monitor?

Sure... Parallels is just an app window like any other app window.
