You just beat me to it Hugh.
Windows detects the monitor attached to the computer and sets/changes
the resolution according to (a) the information returned by its probe
of the monitor and (b) The maximum resolution you determine in graphic
settings. It also keeps a record of each different monitor you connect
to it.
I don't know if it keeps a separate record for each of your settings for
each monitor or not ! I think that it may only use the one you set, as
a maximum, for all monitors.
So if you set 800x600 as the highest resolution, all connected devices
will not go higher. But if you set a resolution higher that the screen
can handle, it won't go higher than the screen reports.
I hope that makes sense !
