Monitor with wrong resolution after 10.5.7 update!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

Yep! Add me to the list!

Mac Mini 2007, 2.0Ghz + Dell 22" Monitor.

My native resolution is 1600 x 1050, which is no longer selectable...

This is ridiculous! Apple have what..like 6 products and yet they still dont bother to test all 6 of them before releasing an update!? How lazy is that!? I understand that a new model of the mini is out, but that doesn't mean you alienate your customers..

Sure its a small issue, but this just shouldn't happen for a company that sells an operating system designed for even the biggest idiots!

I'm new to using TM (just installed over the weekend).

This OS X update has screwed me too (screen res).

How do I 'revert' to 10.5.6 using TM? I only seem to be able to revert 'files'. I just want to go back to an entire system snapshot from just before I installed 10.5.7.

Can this be done?

Thanks

I'm having this issue as well on my work macbook with a viewsonic vx2835wm, it's native resolution is 1920 x 1200 but i can only choose 1080 as a height.

I had similar problems and found that switching from HMDI / DVI to VGA cables plus adapters got the standard resolutions back.

Go ahead and add one more! Mac Mini Core 2 Duo 1.83 GHz hooked up on a Philips LCD 32 inch screen with DVI-D - HDMI cable.

Worked perfectly on 10.5.6 then after the update the resolution list got messed up, 1360x768 just vanished and pretty much every option left either looks like crap looks like mega crap.

Hope they fix it soon. Real soon.

Yep, same problem. Mac Mini 1.83 hooked up to a Samsung 37 inch LCD TV via DVI -> HDMI and I lost my native resolutions. Boo.

you have to boot from the Leopard install disk to use Time Machine for a full restore. I don't recall exactly what the sequence is but a search of the online docs for TM should give you the correct procedure.

Same problem Here. Have a Mac Mini Intel Core 2 Duo and a 28" Hanns.G HG281 Monitor using the HDMI-DVI cable. Upon the install, the resolution display was changed to 1920x1080, when it should be (was) 1920x1200

Disable DDC in your monitor's OSD and reboot or unplug replug the monitor. You'll be fine.

I have the exact same monitor btw, I love it!

Same problem here on a LG L245WP 24"er on a HDMI/DVI cable. While others have reported that changing to VGA helped, frankly this is a no go on this system-I once left the HDMI DVI cable (that came with the monitor) on my parents tele and HAD to use VGA in consequence of having no other cable–and the visual quality of that connection was unbearable–bleak picture, contrast lost, no sharpness…

Whatever, the reason for this problem seems to be that the display is being recognized as a TV, the system profiler says so under 10.5.7 (and doesn't under 10.5.6) and a forth settings tab appears in the system settings that allows for overscan adjustment–well, I wish it weren't so and I beg Apple to look into this asap… I NEED a solution for this, even if this includes pressing the alt-key in combination with some recognize button in case they intentionally built this in to stop people from loosing their displays on real tvs… the DVI/HDMI connection is the only way I can get an acceptable signal to my otherwise perfect screen…

I really like the monitor as well. What is the DDC in the OSD? I assume that is something in the display options via the buttons on the right hand side of the screen?

I filed Bug 6882452

I've got the same issue on my Mac Pro with two Hyundai W241D screens.

I have exactly the same problem after upgrading to 10.5.7. My monitor is LG L246WH with only VGA and HDMI inputs, connected to my Mini (Core duo 1,66, GMA950) with DVI-HDMI cable. And after upgrading my main resolution (1920x1200) is gone! I can only select 1920x1080, which looks like crap, and it doesn't even fill whole screen (there is a black space around the picture).
And I absolutely HATE using analog cable for such high-res picture. It looks bad - washed colors, not really sharp...
Please, Apple - have someone fix this (and not in 10.5.8 update, because I will kill myself before you put it out...).

Typcially use my MacBook with an 37LG5000 1080p TV via DVI-HDMI and up until installing 10.5.7 it was great. Wake up the MB with bluetooth keyboard or mouse and it would run the TV at the native resolution, not interlaced without any stupid black borders around the edge (which incidentally aren't just there to block out the screen, because putting the mouse in the bottom right corner still shows the pointer "out of" the desktop into the blackness).

Now after installing 10.5.7, I can select "1920x1080 (interlaced)" but the TV screen has black borders (again with the pokey out the edge mouse), the picture is ****** and the interlacing is annoying.

I don't really want to have to install 3rd party software to fix this, it should be supported properly by the OS, and it was until they broke it!

Is this really a bug or something by design that I don't understand, either technical or otherwise?

P.S. With 10.5.7 out, why can't I select that OS from the DDL on this page?
