Hey guys,
I know there are numerous threads on this issue, I've read so many my eyes hurt, but I still haven't found a thread that gives me a lightbulb moment. I have a Panasonic 46" Plasma, 1920x1080 native resolution. Why when I plug in my MBP into the VGA input on the TV and I select 1920x1080 in the Display Prefs will the TV just go black? 1024x768 works and a couple others... Doesn't make sense to me. I used a DVI to HDMI adapter and the TV accepts 1920x1080 then, but the picture on the TV is surrounded by a black box. Shouldn't that resolution fill the whole screen since it is the TV's native res? I'm just trying to get the screen to display on my TV properly with no stretching or black borders... Can this be done? Am I missing something? Thanks!
Josh
