When Connected to a Computer

For computer images, Normal is usually the best setting to select. This displays the image at the largest possible size without stretching it. For computers with wide-panel WXGA displays, the PowerLite 1730W displays the image at WXGA resolution, making full use of the display area; likewise, the PowerLite 1720 displays XGA images to their best advantage.

Depending on your computer display and projector model, you may see black bars at the edges. In that case, try selecting 4:3 (PowerLite

1720 only) or 16:9. The PowerLite 1730W also lets you select:

■Full to stretch the image to fill the whole projection area

■Zoom to fit the image in one dimension only, with the other dimension cut off

■Through to display the image without stretching or scaling it

If the resolution of the image is the same as the projector’s, changing the Aspect setting has no effect.

Adjusting the Color Mode

You can use the Color Mode button on the remote control to adjust the color, brightness, and other aspects of your image. This lets you quickly adjust the image for various uses.

Press the button repeatedly to select from the following settings:

Game: For increased brightness and contrast when playing video games or watching TV in a bright room. If you notice video delays during high-speed gaming, turn off the Progressive setting (see page 55).

Presentation: For computer presentations in a bright room with color graphics.

Text: For computer presentations in a bright room with black-and-white text and graphics.

Theatre: For watching movies in a dark room.

Photo: For vivid, high-contrast still images in a bright room (computer images only).

note

If part of the image remains cut off, check the projector’s Resolution setting (see page 54). Select Normal or Wide, depending on the size of your computer’s display panel.
