In my last blog entry about the resolution degradation after connecting to an external monitor, I find that I was in error to some degree. While working at home yesterday, I plugged in an external monitor and the video resolution was great on both screens. So I decided to try and experiment with the display settings when connected to work. This morning, I plugged in the external monitor and sure enough the video resolution on the MBA went down. So I opened up the Display options and found that the resolution had gone from the highest to the 2nd highest resulting in the video degradation. Once I set the settings back to the highest for the MBA, both screens looked GREAT!
What I can't explain is why I had two different experiences. The external monitor at work is a 17" 4:3 aspect ratio and the home external monitor is a 22" 16:9. So it is possible that this had something to do with it. Also, it wasn't immediately intuitive to change display resolution to solve the problem given that 1 screen looked great. This may just be chalked up to figuring some things on your own unless you are willing to pay $99 for education at the Apple store.
