If I buy this monitor and hook it up to my MacBook via a Mini DVI to DVI adapter, will the MacBook fill up the whole external monitor screen in it's native resolution of 1366 x 768? And will the picture be distorted? Also if anyone here knows anything about HDTV's then can you answer this one question: That tv/monitor I posted is HD ready. Does that mean that if I buy a Xbox 360 then it will display the picture in 1080i hd?

HD Ready means it can accept a HD signal but doesnt have a HD tuner of its own. You need a set top box that can decode the HD signal and send it to the TV.

It can display the picture from Xbox 360 in 720P resolution max.

Okay, thanks! Can someone else answer the rest of my questions please!
