I have a Sharp 52" 1080p LCD (model "LC-52XD1E") connected to a Mac Mini (Core 2 Duo, 1.83) through DVI-to-HDMI.

However, the entire picture is offset by 4-5 cm to the left when displayed on the Sharp. After two days of fiddling, I still haven't been able to solve this extremely irritating problem. Not even my local Apple dealer has a clue. I have no problem connecting my old PowerBook G4 though (full screen immediately, and perfectly centered). Also, when I start up the Mac Mini and before the login screen appears, the white background with the dark Apple is perfectly centered. The trouble starts only at the login, but then continues on for as long as the machine is running.

Any suggestions or solutions?


Two other strange things I've noticed:
• I only get full display-coverage if I select "Underscan" on the Sharp together with "Overscan" on the Mac (seems crazy to me).
• The Mac only lists the display as 1080 (interlaced). Shouldn't it be 1080 (progressive) if it communicated well with the Sharp?
