I bought the mini display to dvi adaptor then connected it up to a dvi to hdmi cable, now connected to my sony 40v3000 1080p lcd tv.

Problem im having is i can only view it at 1024 x 768 resolution on the tv, when i should be able to view it at 1920 x 1080p?

None of the other resolutions seem to work in the display preferences.

Can anyone help out?

Are you mirroring the MacBook display? If so, try turning it off from the Display menu or System preferences. Then you should have full access to all the resolutions available from your TV.
