[QUOTE="MrRandave, post: 357799, member: 23673"] i just asked the genius bar about this issue. the reason why i couldn't get the 1080p to work on my HDTV is b/c i was mirroring the image from my macbook to the HDTV. the macbook's max resolution it can display out if you are mirroring is 1280x800 (or what i got: 1360x768). to solve the problem, they said to run it not through mirroring but through dual display, go to the display preferences, and move the finder taskbar from the main window to the dual window screen. the dual screen will be able to run the 1080p and by moving the finder taskbar to the dual screen window, this will make it the main window you work on. therefore, you can run your videos etc, etc on the dual screen at 1080p. i haven't tried this out myself yet, but will let you all know what happens as soon as i get home.
