[QUOTE="manuelvet, post: 1321515, member: 221803"] Hi guys, I have a 27" iMac and I want to connect an old 22" monitor. I will use the second monitor just for text applications so I do not need great resolution. It only has a VGA connector so I am using a mini-display port to VGA. I am using a resolution for this monitor of 1600x1200, but the image is stretched and the monitor keeps opening a pop up saying that I should use 1680x1050 resolution. This resolution however is not available as an option in the Mac os x Lion system settings (it jumps from 1600x1200 to 1920 x 1080). Any ideas how to fix this? the adaptor is not original. Could that be an issue? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
