Hi. Here's another message regarding getting the right resolution out of a Mac Mini (Dual Core)

I've got it hooked up via DVI to my Hitachi 32PD5200. Not a bad picture, but it only gives me one resolution option - 1024x768, which is 4:3 and therefore gets stretched to fill the 16:9 shaped screen.

The 32PD5200's native resolution is 1024x852, which isn't an improvement anyway.

I've tried using SwitchResX to some (limited) success and, after much hassle, I've found a resolution which kinda works and is, at least, 16:9-ish - 1280x720

The trouble is, it's overscanning, so the top, left, bottom and, I guess, right is cropped off (Monitors Control Panel doesn't give me the overscan option to turn off)

My question is - does anyone know the correct settings to use in SwitchResX? Or, failing that, can anyone explain to me what all this Front Porch business is all about, cos I honestly don't have a clue!!
Cheers

Peter

hi peter (or anyone)
I have exactly the same problem. I have the same hitachi 32PD5200 and a mini Mac (which i bought at the weekend). So far I have had no luck at all getting an image on the TV via DVI.
Your post was a while ago, I was wondering if you (Or anyone!) has had any joy and if so how.


I have been trying with various setting using DisplayConfigX, but so far just a blank screen.

The TV is set to DVI-PC.

Any suggestions \ ideas?
Thanks
Will
