My girlfriend just picked up the new Dell S2209W LCD monitor - it's supposed to display at 1920 x 1080 resolution, but I can't get her Macbook to do it. We hooked it up using a Mini-DVI adapter and the option appears in the settings, but no matter what, it won't display it. It keeps displaying a lower resolution and leaving about an inch of black space on both sides.

I hooked the monitor up to my Macbook Pro and it worked instantaneously.

Her Macbook is Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.2 GHz with Intel GMA X3100 graphics card - is the 1920 x 1080 supported with that?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...I've been searching around to no avail. This thread says it should work, but is closed to new posts:
