Hi all,
I'm having some strange issues regarding the connection between my new HP Pavillion 23xi and my Macbook Pro 13'' (early 2011, with Yosemite installed). I'm connecting these to through a Minidisplay Port (Thunderbolt) to HDMI adapter and of course, an HDMI cable. When all the connections are set up, and the resolution is 1080p (as the Mac's Monitor preferences say), the monitor is all black, and sometimes the immages appear for just a second; when I "downsize" (from the Mac) the resolution to 720p the monitor works well, although I cannot see all the desktop (seems like the image is cropped) and, of course, the image is not in full HD.
So, because of this, I'm excluding a cable/adapter problem, otherwise I think the monitor wouldn't work neither in 720p, but I cannot figure out why it doesn't work in 1080p.
Hope I'll get some answers
Best regards,
Giusepperot
