[QUOTE="SteveSawyer, post: 1926165, member: 415609"] As I explained to [USER=21567]@Patrick[/USER] above, I've realized (through discussing this with y'all here) that this space simply wasn't designed for this monitor. It was designed for a 17" laptop. [B][I]That's the problem[/I][/B]. I probably should have waited until I could afford a MB rather than cheaping out with a Mac Mini because they just don't make small monitors anymore, at least not with decent resolution. My 17" laptop was 1920 x 1080 and looked great. 17" 1080p monitors are scarce to non-existent. Even 1080p 19" monitors aren't easy to find. I've run across a few "portable" laptop monitors, and most are lower resolution than 1080p. I found [URL='https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0925RMK9H/?tag=macforums0e4-20']one[/URL] 1080p 17.3" model from some company I never heard of for almost $200, but that might be the way I have to go.
