[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1161364, member: 46727"] Don't use a VGA adapter as it won't give you the same clarity as DVI. As for the 1" of blank space.... Do you have the Acer set as your primary display? Open System Preferences, Displays. Select Mirror mode and drag the menu bar to the Acer. See if that helps. (make sure it's set to display as 1920 x 1080) When I have my Samsung hooked up, I use clamshell mode - which means that I have the top case of my MacBook closed. I also use an external keyboard and mouse when I do that. The Samsung becomes the primary display and as long as the display on the MacBook is off, I get the full 1920 x 1080 resolution. No 1" blank space. [/QUOTE]
