Actually, that might be the problem. The presence of the "Underscan" adjustment seems to indicate that the Mac somehow detects the LG to be a TV not a monitor per se, so as a result I'm not getting very good definition onscreen.
There is a VGA port on the monitor that I' could use (instead of the HDMI). But I'd have to buy a mini DisplayPort to VGA dongle from Apple for $30... -Carl > On Jun 28, 2020, at 9:46 PM, Macs R We <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hm. my LG shows no underscan control.
