Selecting a Screen Mode

You can select one of four screen modes depending on the display resolution of your computer.

• A screen mode can be selected by selecting “Screen settings” from the menu. (P57)

Full screen

Normal

Select this to project an image displayed on the computer screen at a 4:3 aspect ratio (W:H) (SXGA+ [1400 by 1050 dots] or XGA [1024 by 768 dots]).

The image displayed on the computer screen at a 5:4 (W:H) aspect ratio is projected with it compressed vertically or horizontally.

Select this to project an image displayed on the computer screen at a 5:4 (W:H) aspect ratio (SXGA) or on a wide screen of Macintosh. Since the image is projected with it fitted to either the width or length of the computer screen, the top and bottom portions or the leftmost and rightmost portions of the image are missing.

Wide Screen

True size

Select this to project an image displayed on the computer screen at a 16:9 (W:H) aspect ratio.

Since the image is projected with it fitted to the width of the computer screen, the top and bottom portions of the image are missing.

Select this if you want to project an image in its original size.

A clear image can be obtained because of no image processing. This mode cannot be selected when the display resolution of the computer is larger than 1400 by 1050 pixels.

PROJECTING AN IMAGE FROM THE

• If the display resolution of the computer is higher than 1400 by 1050 dots, select a lower resolution before starting projection.

•The upper, lower, left, and/or right portions of a projected image may be missing depending on the selected display mode.
