• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I had been using a DELLS2009 1600x900 and decided to try and hook up my Toshiba LED TV to the mac book as a monitor and it looks bad. not as good as I was expected but I know TVs arent meant to be used as monitors. Is there any tweeking I can do at all to improve how text looks?

TOSHIBA-TV:
Resolution: 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz
Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
Rotation: Supported
Television: Yes


OK I am in look. the TV has a PC mode. SHEW I am saved. but the screen does look more dull.

With your Mac connected, go into System Preferences>Displays and play around with the calibration settings for the monitor. I had to do that with my TV when I connected to my Mini.
