[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 424211, member: 24098"] I have quite a bit of trouble with some external displays. Sometimes the MBP wants to change the resolution on the internal display to what it should be on the external (it gets the two confused). Sometimes it just picks the lowest common denominator for both displays. Very seldom do I get it to detect perfectly on the first try - even with brand new LCD projectors. It seems that my 37" Sharp Aquos is about the only display it plays nicely with. I can definitely relate to this frustration - especially if you're trying to put a presentation together in front of an audience. One tip, though - I find that it helps if you put the Displays icon in the menu bar, this will give you the option to easily see what resolutions are set, how the monitor is being detected and allow you to easily change things (for the most part). You can enable this by going to System Preferences => Displays => Check "Show displays in menu bar". [/QUOTE]
