However, when connected via the DVI cable, that
resolution was not available in the display
preferences, only 1280 x 960 and one or two
other, smaller resolutions (I didn't write them
down; sorry). When using the VGA cable, however,
I have fourteen different resolutions to choose
from, from 640 x 480 up through 1440 x 900.
When you use the VGA cable the LCD is connected to the Mac via an A2D
converter and mimics an analog multi-sync monitor. So the Mac;s System
Preferences present you with a set of VGA options. Whan conncted via DVI
the Mac knows exactly what you have, there is no A2D conversion, and you
get the correct options for the LCD.
That sounds good, Tom, except that the native 1440 x 900 is NOT
available with the DVI cable. Wouldn't you expect that one to be
there?
