    OK so i have MBP and im trying to hook it up to my samsung 19" hdtv. Now it works great in OSX with the maximum resolution of the panel (1440 x 900)

    The issue is when im in bootcamp if i raise the resolution to 1440 x 900 the panel says <Not supported>.... (also how to you mirror your desktop instead of expanding it?) so this obviously as to be a driver issue if it works fine in leopard or am i just windows stupid and dont know how to set it up.

    thanks, any help would be appreciated, ive been going at it for the past few days with no results!

    What model MBP do you have?

    If you have the NVIDIA GPU (8600m GT), <noparse>Apple</noparse> has updated graphics drivers for Windows found in this support document that may or may not help: Boot Camp 2.0: Video issues with Windows Vista or XP. And you can try a variety of other drivers from LaptopVideo2Go.

    There should be options for configuring multiple displays in the graphics (ATi/NVIDIA) control panel. Start > Control Panel.

    If you go into Nvidia control panel, then go to the section for mutiple displays.

    In there you can specify the monitor setup in windows, and it looks like you want to use the "Clone" setting. That is like mirror in osx.
