- i have a brand new 2012 mac mini running mountain lion that's connected to an lg 1080p flat screen via hdmi.  

- i have a fullscreen app that launches using cronnix at a certain time of the day.  

  - if my tv is on, everything works great, however,

  - if my tv is off, and i turn it on after the app has launched, it's off centered (up and to the left) so that the app is not covering the bottom and right part of the screen.  it appears to still be 1920x1080 and just not centered, but i'm not sure. i tried frame.setLocation(0,0) and frame.setBounds(0,0,1920,1080) without success.

i'm thinking this is a hardware issue and something about connecting to the lg flatscreen, as i can set my display settings to "scaled", "1080p", turn the tv off, and then turn it back on and the computer is back to "best for built-in display".  

after digging around some it appears to be an EDID issue, but i don't know much about EDID.  it does seem that this happens with some projectors/screens and not others. i'm thinking i may try running the thunderbolt -> VGA cable instead of hdmi. does anyone have any other ideas? the best solution i can find at the moment is something like this: http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
