Mac Pro at 1920x1080

[elec999]

My Mac pro is running, at 1920x1080, but for some odd reason. Its cutting the bottom and top of my screen.
Thanks

thanks? were you looking for help as to how to solve this problem? or why it is a problem.

That's nice to hear? Or is it a problem because your native screen resolution is 1920 x 1200? A little more info please!

Like I said, its cutting the top part of my screen and button. I cannot see the top apple bar, nor see the dock. I can see a small piece of the dock.
Thanks

what display are you using?

Um, ok. You need to provide info for us to help you.

What monitor do you have? The native resolution of a 23" ACD (or probably any other 23-24" monitor) is 1920x1200. Do you have your MP connected to a 1080p capable HDTV or something, with display mirroring turned on? Normally, 1920x1080 isn't a selectable resolution, but I've seen mirroring force screens into odd resolutions to fit to the lowest resolution of the two.

Dell 24 inch lcd, supports 1080p, 1920x1080.
Thanks

You are gonna want to run that at 1900x1200, the monitors native resolution through the Mac Pro.

The 24" big boy Dell is slightly taller than Full HD.

1920 *1200 vs 1920 * 1080.

Should have splashed out for an Apple cinema screen if you ask me hehe

Yeah, the native resolution of the Dell display is 1920 x 1200, not 1080 like a TV. It's a 16:10 screen, not 16:9.

Unless we're talking about some sort of Dell LCD TV. Did they ever make a 24" TV?
