Hello,
I am very new to Macs and also a brand new member to Mac Forums. I have a question in regards to connecting an external monito to my MacBook Pro and I hope you can help me out.
I am connecting a current generation 13" MBP (i5) awith a 22" Samsung HD monitor (Syncmaster P2270HD) via a miniDP-HDMI adapter and HDMI cable, I bought online. The connection works without a problem, i.e. the Mac recognises the Sycmaster when I go to Settings->Display. I can select the 1080p resolution that is native to the display and also select the sound output to be done via the Syncmaster. It all works. The problem is, however, that the picture quality is pretty horrible. Colors and resolution appear off and fonts are fuzzy and pixelated, definitely not 1080p quality.
My PC Laptop connected via a serial cable and lower resolution looks infinitely better.
What am I doing wrong?
