Thanks for all your suggestions. We have started using the projector and
laptop for various things in our services and I am saving up all the tips I
can. One problem I had recently was related to setting it all up then
putting the laptop into standby. When the presenter then turned the laptop
back on the image on the projector looked like a TV with no vertical hold
(the laptop screen looked normal). Required a full reboot and I assume that
the power up from standby didn't cope with the projector settings properly.
Live and learn (well, hopefully 🙂

| If you are having a hard time getting the image to show on the projector
| then try powering down the notebook and then powering the notebook up
again
| AFTER the projector is connected. Most notebooks assume that they are
| connected to a monitor and turn the notebook LCD panel off and send all
info
| to the externally connected device.
|
| Conversely, if you hook up the projector AFTER you turn on the notebook
the
| image will go to the notebook's screen.
|
| This generally does not allow you to see the image both on the notebook
and
| the projector at the same time. But is a trick to use "in a pinch" when
you
| are having a problem getting the image to go to the projector.
