Hi all,
I have a Macbook Pro from around the mid 2007's I believe. It is intel-based but has a similar body style as the Powerbook G4's.
I am trying to connect it to a Vizio E370VL tv. I will also note that I have my computer dual-booted via Boot Camp, running Windows 7 Home Premium, 32-bit.
When I boot into Windows, the picture on the TV mirrors my laptop, but the picture crawls/rolls/scrolls from bottom to top continuously. Even when I change the resolution, it makes no diffference. UPDATE: I changed the resolution on the way down to 1024 x 768 and it finally stopped scrolling...if I go any higher, it starts to scroll. Video card issue?
If I boot into OS X, and the resolution is set to full HD 1920 X 1200, it is not supported (blank screen). 1920 x 1080 causes the same scrolling effect. If I drop it to 1600 x 900, the scrolling stops and the tv registers a resolution of 1440 x 900. I have to be able to use this with the Windows side for work. I am just unsure as to whether I have the wrong hdmi-to-vga adapter (borrowed this one...mine is on loan...but this one looks just like mine), if it is signal problem. Do I blame the TV or the computer? I updated the NVIDIA drivers on the Windows side, and that didn't make any difference yet.
Additionally, I have plugged in a Mac Mini, using a mini hdmi-to-vga adapter, running Windows XP, and the TV supports the full resolution.
Any ideas?
Ian
