Hi all,
I'd been tolerating a relatively low resolution using my (2006) Mac Mini and a second hand 19" monitor for a while, and I decided it was time to upgrade. I bought a 22" LG Flatron W2243S which is capable of displaying 1920x1080.
From all the documentation on the Apple website, I can see no reason why my Mac Mini would not be able to display this. But this option is not available in Preferences. It goes higher - to 1920x2-thousand-and-something (I forget) but this is very stretched.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I tried using SwitchResX, after reading various forum posts about similar issues (YES I did Google it) but that has resulted in a permanent 'out of range' message on startup, which starting in Safe Mode hasn't yet managed to fix, so I may have to reinstall Snow Leopard... but that's another story.
Also I messaged LG, who provided the unhelpful response that they don't have any Mac drivers that would help, sorry.
I'd really appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Amy
