Macbook Pro on 23" HDTV LNT-2353H is not working at right resolution???

Question

Hi,
Right now i'm running on 23" Samsung HDTV
at the resolution of 1360 x 768 on MAC OS X
However when i switch to vista the resolution
goes to 1024 x 768 is there anyway to resolve that problem?

Answer 1

Yo, Pume, this website (slightly dated, but so am I) may allow us to obtain a clue, here: the Vista resolution is tweaked smaller assuming that the Borg will add 33%, which of course it doesn't ... typical.

" ... But what about a print environment as viewed on screen? A prime example here is working with your document in Microsoft Word, just before you print it out as hardcopy. In this case the physical size of any Web graphics on screen will be determined by their pixel dimensions, their ppi, the monitor's ppi, the magnification of the program you're using, plus an optional 33% that the Windows operating system adds on for luck.
If the magnification is set at 100% and the ppi of the graphic and the monitor match up, you'll see the graphic on screen at exactly the size it will print, unless you're using Windows, in which case you've got the automatic 33% magnification to take into account.
It's pretty rare that everything does match up. Most Web graphics are given a ppi of 72 by the people who design them, partly for historical reasons (because in the print world 72 points generally equals one inch) and partly because many monitors hover around an average monitor resolution of 72 ppi.
Some Web graphics aimed at Windows systems are given a ppi of 96, on the assumption that PC monitors generally have a monitor resolution of 96 ppi. This is even rarer. The figure is too high for most PC screens, which are not significantly different to Mac screens. That's why most Web designers have dropped it in favour of 72 ppi. But 96 ppi does have one special quality, which we'll come to next. ..."
