[QUOTE="iamjackspants, post: 1379226, member: 241664"] I use a 17" Macbook Pro and have a 19" Hannspree HF199H hooked up to it via DVI to VGA adapter and VGA cord. I turned on the monitor yesterday and now my mac has decided to no longer detect it as HF199H, but as VGA DISPLAY. There are no correct resolutions to select, and I'm pretty sure it's picking up the wrong aspect ratio as well. I tried displayConfigX...it didn't fix the problem at all. Usually the mac would just detect the proper display and the correct resolution(1440x900). I haven't changed anything that would have caused this. In fact I'm pretty sure I haven't changed anything at all in the past day or so. This is a setup I've had for at least a couple years with no issues, so this problem is extremely frustrating. Any help or ideas would be awesome Thanks! edit - Running 10.5.8 with an ATI Radion X1600. A little more info: I occasionally will hook up the Mac to a 32" Samsung TV using the same cable. It will no longer detect that display properly either. [/QUOTE]
