No, I'm using a Mac Mini, so it has no display of its own, and only one video out. So right now, I only have it hooked up to the Sony HDTV. I just cant figute it out...it really stinks as it basally makes playing any games on it impossible. It's very nice for web browsing however. it's just doubly frustrating since the same Mac Mini, when booted in OSX, does indeed scale to fullscreen so it is definitely possible.
