mac mini using mitsubishi 55" widescreen as display

I have been told that this mini mac will work with no problems using the mitsubishi 55" widescreen HDTV as a monitor. When I choose the display, I only get 3 choices and they are all terrible. I tried the magic commad+a,v etc.. to no avail. Can anyone give me the solution to this one? I am starting to really regret buying a mac???

I have the 55" Mitsu HDTV and it's just generally lousy as a monitor. The graphics and everything were good but text is awful. In general projection TV's aren't good monitors. I picked up a 20" widescreen monitor and now I'm learning that Mac mini's are full of problems with when using the HDMI interface on LCD's. This lesson is costing a lot of people a fortune. I wish Apple would just step up and at least admit there are problems.

a monitor.


First thing never take anyones word when it involves very
expensive electronics. If you cant see it in action dont believe
it. I only bought my MITS 52"DLP after seeing a friends computer
hooked up to his.

choices and they are all terrible. I tried the magic
commad+a,v etc.. to no avail. Can anyone give me

I am not sure what model you have but have found that
using 75 Hz is the best setting with my DLP. I would bet you
did not check out what screen resolutions and refresh rates
it supported.

The mac is not the problem, the problem exists between the
keyboard and the chair.
