The following thread shows that vendor rep Irad Stavi has tested a fitlet with
2560x1440 resolution, and can confirm it works.

Good news re: higher resolution output. :)

I've noticed that the MintBox Mini and fitlet-i default to some overscan setting when outputing hdmi to my Samsung SyncMaster 2494hs (1920x1080). This display has 1x hdmi, 1x dvi & 1x vga. Due to this overscan effect, the menu running across the top of the display and the start menu, task selector & etc aren't visible. When using the hdmi -> dvi cable the display appears as expected. I haven't tested hdmi -> vga as I don't have that kind of adaptor.

I mentioned this to a friend and he showed me how overscan and underscan can be adjusted on OS X but I've never seen an equivalent on Linux Mint.

For overscan - underscan adjsutment, have you tried the Catalyst Control Center?
