AOC 2436Swa display issue
Hi, I'm hoping I've come to the appropriate forum to ask this question - I have a new MacBook Pro which I am trying to connect to an external display via an Apple VGA display port adapter. The display is an AOC 2436Swa LCD monitor capable of 1920x1080@60Hz and has been connected to a laptop running Windows 7 64 bit for the last several months with no issues but when I connect it to the MacBook, I get a signal out of range error and no image.
I've tried the following:
Updated the MacBook software, now running 10.6.5 - *didn't work*.
Checked with AOC for a driver - there is a message +"To use your monitor with Mac, you will need to install the Plug and Play driver that is offered by your Mac operating system. For information on how to install the Plug and Play driver on your Mac operating system, please contact Mac's technical support."+ - *not yet tried*.
Connected an Iiyama Prolite 431S 17" LCD to the MacBook via the display port adapter - *that worked at 1280x1024@75Hz*.
Reconnected the AOC monitor to the Windows 7 laptop - *that worked*.
So the MacBook, display port adapter, VGA cable and monitor work apart from when I connect them together in the combination I require. I've got the trial version of SwitchResX to play with but I'm not sure what to tweak. Apart from that, I have some experience of Linux, Vi and manually working with Xserver configs but if anyone can point me in the right direction of where to start, I'd be grateful!
