Hi all,

we have purchased a 32" Philips LCD / TV and a DVI-HDMI cable to
connect this display to a Mac. The display has a native resolution of
1920x1080 pixel and is to be used for trade shows and the like to
present info to people sitting or standing 3-4m in front of the screen.

We are tearing our hairs out getting this display to work. It worked
out of the box with a very old G4 PowerMac (with a relatively new
graphics card) and with a PowerBook Pro. The graphic cards of these
machines were able to drive te display with its native resolution.
However, we wanted to use this display with a Mini Mac (3 years old)
and all we get with this machine is 1024x768 (no other resolutions
selectable) vi aVGA and nothing at all via DVI/HDMI. I suppose the
graphics card of this mini mac is for whatever reason not able to
generate 1920x1080 and therefore falls back to XGA.

Buying a new mini mac for this is an option. We just want to make sure
that the current mini macs are able to generate this resolution. Any
experiences with a current Mini Mac and 1920x1080 or even with the 32"
Philips LCD/TV 9603?

Thanks a lot,

   Andreas
