[QUOTE="Kash, post: 768057, member: 23444"] Ok, let me start off by saying ignore everything XeroNineR just said. We're not talking about VGA resolutions, we're talking about a VGA cable, so there was nothing pertinent in XeroNineR's post as it pertains to your situation. Let me first ask, have you set it up to mirror your Macbook's screen or do you have it set as an extended monitor? If you have it set to the former, that could be why you can't get the full resolution of the TV as you are limited by the maximum supported resolution of the Macbook. What you need to do is either use the TV as a secondary screen or set it so that your Macbook's screen is closed while you are using the TV as the primary monitor, in which case you will be allowed to use the maximum supported resolution of the Macbook. To do the closed lid thing, close the lid and then plug something into the Macbook, either the display adapter or something that fits into the USB port. [/QUOTE]
