last night (2nd night of tinkering with my new MBP which I really love).. i decided to connect up one of my samsung flat panel (syncmaster) 17" displays externally.
so i plugged it in using the DVi -> D15 adapter cable that came with my MBP, coz my samsung doesnt have DVi input.
it looks chunky, like, bad.... it was really rough and kind looked like it was scaled wrong, I checked the settings out and it was set to 1280x1024, 75hz, millions of colours which is how i usually use the monitor on another computer.. all fine. the 1280x1024 is it's native resolution.
it just looked pretty bad.
Could it be the DVI -> D15 cable which is causing the poor image? some sort of poor conversion of signal?
I'll be connecting up my projector to it this weekend (also a vga d15 plug) to see if it's the same.
A shame, I have two spare 17" tft's at home that dont have DVI, time to sell ?
bummer... that aside, loving my MBP at the mo, no other issues
