[QUOTE="Jaygray, post: 920229, member: 50033"] I have a unibody 13" MBP which I use with a 22" Dell S2209W and it works perfectly. It is connected using a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adaptor. The screen is crystal clear and razor sharp. I've used it with 10.5 & now 10.6. I don't know that this will resolve your issues, but there is a Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adaptor firmware update available from Apple... [url=http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/minidisplayporttovgafirmwareupdate10.html]Apple - Downloads - Firmware & Hardware - Mini DisplayPort to VGA Firmware Update 1.0[/url] Also, Apple has a known problem getting an external monitor to turn back on after the MacBook wakes up from sleep. If you wake your Mac while the external monitor is connected, the second monitor will not wake. You'll have to unplug the Mini DisplayPort connection, wait a moment and plug it back in. Apple acknowledges the problem, but I don't believe there is a fix at this time. [/QUOTE]
