[QUOTE="chuckwagon6916, post: 1236150, member: 201712"] Afternoon everyone, First, I would like to say hello as I am new to the forums! I currently have a Macbook Pro with the following specifications: Model Name: MacBook Pro Model Identifier: MacBookPro4,1 Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 2.6 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache: 6 MB Memory: 4 GB also, my display is: Color LCD: Resolution: 1920 x 1200 Depth: 32-Bit Color Core Image: Hardware Accelerated Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Supported Built-In: Yes VGA Display: Resolution: 1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz Depth: 32-Bit Color Core Image: Hardware Accelerated Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Supported Rotation: Supported As you can see I have my MBP hooked up to my 42" Samsung Plasma TV. I have just a few questions concerning the resolution and look of my external display. 1. It is not mirrored, so I was wondering if there is anyway to have another visible dock on my external display? (which is positioned on the right side of my desktop). 2. Any way to change the desktop wallpaper of this external display? 3. My Samsung is 720p, and my VGA settings are 1024x768...should it be set at this? 4. To all my fellow WoWers or any gamers, how do I set World of Warcraft to be a fluent resolution on my television? In-game at 1024x768 seems blurred and out of balance in terms of my UI and bars. Sorry about the long post, and thank you to all who answer!! [/QUOTE]
