Compatible Computer Display Formats

You can connect the projector to a wide range of computers, including PCs and notebooks, Apple Macintosh, Power Macintosh series (including G3, G4 and G5 systems), PowerBook computers, many iMac and iBook series systems, and high-end workstations such as the Sun® SPARCstation™.

Although images are displayed at the projector’s native resolution of 1024 ⋅ 768 pixels, Epson’s patented SizeWise chip supports computer display formats ranging from VGA through UXGA.

To project images output from a computer, the computer’s external monitor signal must be set at a refresh rate (vertical frequency) that’s compatible with the projector; see the following table for compatible formats. For best results, the computer’s resolution should be set to match the projector’s native resolution (1024 ⋅ 768). If this resolution isn’t available, select one of the other compatible formats:

■Windows:

Right-click the desktop, select Properties, click the Settings tab, and select a compatible resolution. (For a notebook displaying through an external monitor port, you’ll need to click the Advanced button on the Settings tab, then adjust the resolution of the external monitor.)

■Macintosh OS X:

From the Apple menu, select System Preferences, then click

Displays. Make sure the VGA Display or Color LCD dialog box is selected, then click the Display tab and select a compatible resolution.

■Macintosh OS 9.x:

On the Apple menu, choose Control Panels, then click

Monitors or Monitors and Sound. Click the Monitor tab and select a compatible resolution for your external monitor.

You may need to modify existing presentation files if you created them for a different resolution. See your software documentation for details.
