[QUOTE="kungfusnwbrdr, post: 864902, member: 107258"] Thanks for the reply. I am using a MiniDisplay to DVI. This works just fine with my $1000 PC laptop, but is not working with my new $2700 MBP. :Grimmace: I'm on the phone with Apple Support and they are gathering log information for backline engineers. I've never had to call tech support before on a display issue on my PCs. This is very frustrating, especially to a new MacBook owner. :Shouting: I will try giving Hyundai tech support a call, but I've been around computers long enough to know that they are just going to blame the MacBook just as the first Apple representative tried to blame the display. :Not-Amused: I'm being told that in 10.5.7, which is what I'm running, that some display resolutions were removed. Why? He didn't know. But that I could try re-installing 10.5.6 to see if that fixes the issue. Wait? What? :Confused: Re-install an operating system because of a display issue? :Angry-Tongue: I think I'd rather take my MBP back before spending hours to re-install OS X, then Parallels and any other applications blown away by the re-install. "...everything just works with a Mac..." ;D Seems I'm putting that to the test here... :Not-Amused: Well, I guess I'll wait 3-5 business days to see what their backline engineers have to say.
