I have my new MBP hoooked up to a Dell 2005fpw and it normally runs at 1680 1050 when hooked to my PC. I have it set to 1680 1050 on me MBP but its lying if I take a screenshot of my desktop its 1440x900 if I load an image that 1680 1050 it is way bigger than my desktop, if I play harvest half the game is off my screen. What can I do to get it to really be 1680 x 1050?


See attached image.


THANKS!!

You have it on mirroring. Mirroring will only ever go up to the maximum resolution of your notebook's internal display. You have to set it to extend your desktop (or run your machine in lid-closed). Either way you can make that the primary display.
