Changing computer's video resolutions
Depending on your computer's graphic capability, you may be able to select one of several
resolutions. Generally a computer- either a PC or Macintosh- with 1 MB VRAM will run:
640 x 480 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit True color)
800 x 600 at 65,000 colors.
1024 x 768 at 256 colors.
As the resolution increases, the number of colors you can run decreases. With 2 MB VRAM a
computer will run:
640 x 480 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit True color).
800 x 600 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit True color).
1024 x 768 at 65,000 colors.
1280 x 1024 at 256 colors.

Notebook computers and resolution standards
This Projector is designed to project industry standardized video such as VESA (Video
Electronics Standards Association) or VGA (Video Graphics Array). Notebook computers do not
use industry standards. They use whatever timing is necessary to match their local LCD display.
The end result is typically not standard. By turning off your notebook's display, the timing
parameters are a bit more like the real VESA or VGA signal.
