Samsung 205bw SyncMaster
I've made a few calls to the Apple Protection Plan 800 number. Each time I was sent to a 2nd level tech who in turn said he would have to speak with the engineers about our issue. Actually the first call I made the tech hung up on me, but that's besides the point. The best answer Apple can give us is that we need to wait for a firmware update to the mini... This is very absurd and basically what they're saying is "Buy an Apple Pro Display."
I've read other posts in the forums here that state users seeing the mini hooked up to a 22" display running native resolutions at 1680x1050. Now if the Apple displays can handle this resolution there should be absolutely no reason we can't "trick" the mini into pulling these resolutions for the Samsung monitor.
My suggestion, do not buy a mini, also do not buy a Samsung SyncMaster 205bw if you have a mini. It's a waste of your time until Apple gets this issue resolved, and who knows when that will happen with the 10.5 rollout coming in less than 8 days, 7 hours, 6 minutes and 20 seconds...
