    This may have been asked before, but I can't find anything. Is there a reason that when I connect the M17xR3 to a monitor via VGA bacle, it looks better than when I connect it via HDMI?

    Are you sure it is set to the monitor's native resolution when you connect it through hdmi?

    No I am not. I just hooked it up, I wasnt aware that I had to set anything. I'm obviously new at this so forgive my ignorance. How do I set this up?
