[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1485230, member: 24160"] [B]arichey0427[/B] If you've gone through all of my troubleshooting steps back in post # 2 of this thread: I had a 27" Polaroid LCD sometime back around '03 - '04 maybe that only had a single HDMI port. As I recall, it took a bunch of work to get it working properly via HDMI from Windows, never could get it working from any Linux variant, and got rid of it prior to my first Mac. Only thing I can suggest with that TV is use DVI if it has one (don't remember) and if not, try VGA. If this Polaroid is from that time frame, I believe the VGA port didn't allow for a very high resolution and it could be a disappointing experience. The TV manufacturers in that time period had not considered that people would be connecting to them from a computer and they were not providing the proper EDID info - particularly the throw away brands like Polaroid and Westinghouse.
