and i did, except for everything is looking kind of stretchy. It's a 20 inch 1600x900 HP LED monitor. I actually got it for $35 on ebay WITH SHIPPING. Best deal i've ever scored. Anyhooser, my macbook is a 13 inch aluminum (MBP without the label) and no matter which setting i try, i can't make the screen resolution look normally proportioned like on the laptop. someone help please!
