If the Projected Image Is the Wrong Size or Distorted
If, after orienting, you find that the projected image does not properly fill the screen, the resolution settings
of your projector and your computer may not match. It’s very important that the computer and projector
resolutions correspond exactly. If they don’t match, the on-screen image will not properly fill the interactive
screen or may suffer from distortion or shimmering.
First, ensure that the projector is set to its optimal image resolution. Refer to your projector’s manual for
the true resolution of your projector, and reset it if necessary. While the projector manual instructions may
indicate that resolutions other than the optimal one are permitted, you should not set the resolution to any
of these other settings.
For example, if the projector’s true resolution is 800 x 600, but it’s also capable of displaying at 640 x 480,
set both the computer and the projector to the true resolution − 800 x 600.
To set your computer resolution to match the projector resolution
1 On the Control Strip, press the Monitor Resolution button.
2 Select the appropriate resolution from the shortcut menu that appears.
Your monitor switches to the new resolution.
OR
3 Select Control Panels from the Apple menu.
4 Select Monitors from the Control Panels menu.
5 Select the appropriate resolution in the Resolutions area of the window.
