[QUOTE="gavinh, post: 1363304, member: 236275"] Hi, First post here (I have searched extensively for an answer to this and can't find one). I hava a 2011 15" Macbook Pro, and I have just got an external display for it which is an LG W2242T. It is a widescreen display with a max-res of 1680x1050 px I have it connected to my MBP with the VGA adaptor. When I connect it, I only have square (or non-widescreen) resolutions to choose from. These range from 800*600 to 1920*1080 (which the display can not support). None of the resolutions available are widescreen. I am not mirroring the displays. I have reset the monitor to factory settings, and I have purchased Display Maestro from the app store. None resolve the issues. I have three attachments with this email, the res from the external display, my MBP display and the arrangement window. Can this be resolved? Thanks in advance. LG 1680x1050 [ATTACH=full]16802[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]16803[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]16804[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
