    Interested in a good monitor to go with my M11x

    I've had this little bugger for two weeks now and I love a lot of things about it. I also don't like a few things too. I opened up Flash CS5 and Photoshop CS5 and things are so small! So I'm interested in buying a 20ish inch monitor. I don't need anything bigger than 23 inches I'm guessing since I'll be sitting close to it.

    I've tried using HDMI on my Sony Bravia that's like 3 years old and the TV doesn't expand and stretch the pixels to fill the screen. I end up with a tiny M11x on my 32 inch tv. Bummer.

    So I want to be find something compatible with my M11x as well as 20-23inches.

    Any ideas?

    The Laptop should work fine on your bravia, make sure you mess around with the settings on your laptop to stretch it...if its a 720p or 1080p TV it shoudl still be fine.

    But anyway, any monitor will really work...any LCD. Just check your local best buy or something for a monitor ranging 99-150 bucks.

    The Dell recommended ones?

    I'm sure you could find those ones at a lower price somewhere such as ebay or amazon

    It doesn't though. I can only get to a certain resolution and the tv can't take the signal anymore.

    i also had the same issue before with my tv when i connected it to my m11xR2. but i found a solution to my 720p tv....just set your m11x to 1360x768 resolution and it will display right to a 720p tv. i still have to test my m11x to our 1080p in our living room though but im sure it'll work if i set our 1080p tv to 720p. and i'm playing SC2 in campaign mode at ultra settings on my 32" tv and it looks amazing
