Just a quick one, given that none of my display devices seem to give me any information on the incoming source.

Are MacBooks (mine for example) really capable of driving a full 1920x1080, at a progressive 50Hz or 60Hz?

They do up to 1920x1200, so yes.

I thought Macbooks were 1280x800...

EDIT: Just looked at solstace profile. He got a Macbook Pro. Sorry, Chucker's right... again

RE-EDIT: But if it isn't a a 17" MBP High Def, isn't it 1440x900 or 1680x1050 ?

You're thinking of the laptop screen itself... I think the question refers to driving an external monitor, where both the MB and MBP can drive a Cinema display at 1920x1200 res.

All those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand.

Bingo. As for the MacBook Pro, it actually does up to 2560x1600, so my answer was for the regular MacBook (or the MacBook Air, for that matter).

Awesome, thanks guys - didn't mean to kick off an argument though! I did mean an external monitor, yup. Sorry, I should have been more specific!

C :O)
