Anyone using a Vizio VW26L?

Selarmor · May 22, 2008, 09:28 PM

Hey all,

I'm using a Vizio VW26L as an external display using a VGA cable and the DVI to VGA adapter that came with my MBP. My only goal is to get a 16:9 aspect ratio on the Vizio, but the closest option is 1280x768, which slightly stretches everything horizontally. I think that by using a DVI to HDMI cable I might be able to get 1280x720, but I want make sure before I order one.

If there's anyone with a Vizio VW26L using DVI to HDMI, can you confirm whether or not 1280x720 or 1366x768 is supported? I seem to be the only person on the net with this TV.

Thanks in advance.
