I have an aluminum macbook, and i have recently purchased a 22 inch samsung monitor. I bought a monoprice miniport to hdmi adapter to connect to the monitor. Even though i set the monitor settings at 1680 x 1050, i can only do the native macbook 1280 x 800. I am sure i can get a higher resolution on my external monitor. Any help would be appreciated.

Try this.

Note: Since SnowLeopard there has been word going around that these kinds of resolutions don't work anymore.

But it can't hurt to try.

If this doesn't work try another cable, eventhough the one you're using seems fine, another one might work.
