[QUOTE="XeroNineR, post: 768045, member: 77037"] VGA cables are an aging standard that have been used on computer monitors for around a decade. The maximum resolution for standard VGA is 640x480. SVGA is a step up with 800x600. Then there is also the less familiar XGA, which is 1024x764, which i believe your tv supports since your problem starts at resolutions beyond 1024X768. Nevertheless, far from the 1080p(or i) you desire. As for your DVI to HDMI issue with the black box border, my two suggestions are as follows. 1. You don't have overscan output selected in the display preferences box. Have your tv connected to your MBP before you start. hit: -apple+spacebar (to bring up spotlight) -type displays in the search bar -click displays -in the preference box displayed on your tv screen, with tabs for display, color, and options, click the options button -If the overscan box is unchecked, check it. -hit apple + Q to close display preferences boxes Help? If not, it may be as simple as grabbing your tv remote and find the button that adjusts the aspect ratio or size of the picture displayed, normally labeled P.Mode or P.Size or something close to that and hit that a few times and cycle through your view options until it looks right. I have a 50" 1080p Samsung DLP connected to my macbook exactly how you have yours with the DVI to HDMI adapter and i had that same issue initially. It took me a bit of juggling between turning overscan on and off and then cycling through the different picture sizes on my tv but i found a perfect match within seconds Hope this helps! -XeroNineR [/QUOTE]
