Matching the computer’s resolution to the projector’s resolutionEnsure that the resolution settings for the projector and computer match. If the computer’s resolution doesn’t match the projector’s native resolution, the image won’t fill the interactive surface properly and can shimmer or appear distorted.
Set the projector to its optimal image resolution by following the instructions included with the projector, and then set the computer’s resolution to match. If you need help changing the computer’s resolution, see the instructions included with your computer’s operating system.
You might need to adjust the computer’s refresh rate to obtain the best results. Set the computer to an initial refresh rate of 60 Hz, and then adjust this rate up or down to determine the ideal refresh rate. For more information on changing your computer’s refresh rate, see the instructions included with the computer’s operating system.
