I just bought a new Samsung 22" monitor. The text resolution is really bad. After talking to Samsung, I found that the needed resolution is higher then what my Mini-Mac shows available. Can this be fixed or do I return the monitor?

    As far as I can tell VGA is the only input (D-Sub) so take it back and get a more modern monitor, one that supports digital inputs, this is no longer 1998.

    Frankly I would not pay $20 for a monitor such a minimal specification.

    Again. what model Mini do you have?

    The mini displayport to VGA adopter

    18. What is the maximum resolution available for use with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter?

    The resolution available with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter is 1920 x 1200. VGA displays that use higher refresh rates (such as 85 Hz) at resolutions of 1600 x 1200 or greater may not generate video properly until you lower the refresh rate.

    I have used the Apple mini displayport to VGA adapter with a 1920X1080 monitor for both my late 2009 and 2012 Mac Mini with no problem.

    Is it an Apple adopter?  I have had problems with non-Apple mini displayport to VGA adapters.
