OMG! Sorry I didn't answer or reply sooner as I know you are ready and able to help me with the issues.
This conversation deals with the ACER MONITOR, H233H series.
You asked: Did it ever work on this Mac at this rez?
I replied: YES - FOR YEARS, until I had to replace it.
Which now brings me (us) to finding that rez. I had to replace the monitor because the on/off button broke. I found the same one at an OfficeMax store, and set it up and, poof, my rez. was gone.
You asked: I'm confused about the Windows reference earlier???
I replied: The CD that came with this monitor is for all Windows settings - totally stretched and it distorts all of my programs!
And yes, the setting of 1920 x 1080 rez. worked GREAT on my monitor and pute.
You see, most of the programs, free downloads, software and hardware, are all IBM based, but you know that.
Again, is there a way I can get that rez. back? I hate this stretched out and distorted look. It's awful to look at and work on projects with this "stretched, squatty" look.
P.S. Now that you know my first name, can I get yours?
P.P.S. You can't convince me on your education. I'll bet you have a Ph.D. or something!
