I plugged my rMBP into my display at work (an HP with a native res of 1920x1200) and it only lets me go to 1280x800. Anyone know why? If so, how do I fix it? I'm using the same plug I use at home to use my dell display at the same resolution. What's going on with this? Can switchresx force the appropriate resolution?
Got a tip for us?

any luck getting 1920 x 1200 ?
I want to do the same. I have a Sceptre 24" DVI with that resolution and I also have the adaptor cable Mini display to DVI. Now all I need is my new rMBP that arrives this Tuesday !!! Please let me know how you made out. THanks.

HDMI works fine to a different display, but Mini DIsplay to DVI...as I said, it works on my home display fine..but not at work.
@gentlefury hope this helps
