Thanks in advance for any help on this problem!

I have recently bought a BenQ G2222HDL 22" external display. I'm running a 13" 2.4Ghz Macbook Pro. I also bought a DVI cable and a DVI to Mini-DisplayPort convertor.

The macbook detects the display when plugged in; I'm able to get any resolution up to and including 1360x768. Of course, the external display is poor quality. If I move up to 1600x900 or 1920x1080, the external display is just blank. The box says that the display supports 1920x1080 resolutions.

I then bought a VGA cable and Mini-DisplayPort adaptor and all resolutions work ok.

Any ideas on how I might go about getting the better quality DVI mode to work? Again, many thanks in advance..
