Something to check on... Open Display Preferences, with resolution set to 1920 x 1080 click on the Options tab. If it's there try clicking on the Overscan check box. I still don't know why the limited resolution. I'd agree with Bruce except that defects usually don't work (or not work) this way, but it's possible. I have my G4 MacMini connected to a 52" LCD TV via HDMI and I have many resolutions to pick from and at 1920 x 1080 it fills the screen. > > Thanks for the respose Bruce. > I guess I'll have to wait and hear from ViewSonic to confirm. > and I presume Amazon will take it back if it is defective. > > Relative to monitors more congenial to the miniG4 and OS 10.4.ll > can you or other recommend monitors. > My wife bought an Acer 22" and I don't recall having the resolution > problem. > That is, I was able to select a resolution that balanced window menu > sizes with screen size, > and although I'd probably grow accustomed to it > I'm not to pleased with the small size 1920x1080 provides. > I set up an Acer (or it might have been Asus) 22" monitor on a G4 MacMini and it works just fine with several resolutions available.
