[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1461018"] If you are MIRRORing the display on your MacBook onto your TV (ie they are identical), then the MacBook is going to try and use ITS default resolution. What you want to do there is change the resolution to the same (or around the same) as the native resolution of your HDTV. If you are extending the desktop (your Mac has one screen and your TV has a different one) you can adjust the TV's resolution on your Mac under Displays. In fact, both solutions require you to visit Displays under System Preferences, under "Arrangement." [/QUOTE]
