MB supports 1600x1024 displays?

[zub3qin]

I have an old Apple LCD Cinema Display (acrylic) 22" which has a resolution of 1600x1024.

While I know that MB supports up to 1920 x 1200, all the modern 22" widescreen displays are 1680 x 1050. Why the discrepancy and will the MB support my monitor?


Thanks!

I suppose it will... but in any case there are a lot of Utilities that will let you configure a specific resolution you want (don't remember the name)

What discrepancy is that ?

The fact that the old 22inch widescreen was 1600x1024 and today's 22inch widescreens are 1680x1050.

The computer should just automatically detect what resolutions the display/TV/Projector can handle.

That's because everyone likes widescreen these days, so you can't keep the same resolution, that'd look a bit odd on a stretched screen. It has to be changed a little bit to meet the new dimensions.
