EDIT: I have a 2009 17" macbook pro connected to a sony bravia LCD TV via the mini displayport connector to a VGA monitor cable, and it has been working fine for years... when tonight suddenly the highest resolution setting on the TV I was using 1920x1080 just disappeared from the menu of options.
I thought it was a hardware/cable problem... sometimes when the cable comes loose the picture or resolution settings gets messed up... but after trying several different VGA cables, I dont think they're the problem.
Once or twice the old 1920x1200 setting would reappear for some reason I couldnt identify, but then would disappear again. It's been really frustrating not being able to identify the cause of the problem!
Has anybody experienced this?
EDIT: Connected the laptop to another TV in the house (Sony LED TV) and the same problem arose - the highest resolution was not available, or had disappeared, when I have been able to use it at the setting in the past.
