Changing Video Resolutions
Depending on your computer's graphic capability, you may be able
to select one of several resolutions. Generally a computer- either a
PC or Macintosh- with 1 meg. of memory will run:
640ן480 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit Truecolor)
800ן600 at 65 thousand colors.
1024ן768 at 256 colors.
As the resolution increases, the number of colors you can run
decreases. With 2 meg. of memory a computer will run:
640ן480 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit Truecolor).
800ן600 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit Truecolor).
1024ן768 at 65 thousand colors.
1280ן1024 at 256 colors.

Notebook Computers And Resolution Standards
NEC projectors are designed to project industry standardized video
such as VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) or VGA
(Video Graphics Array). Notebook computers do not use industry
standards. They use whatever timing is necessary to match their local
LCD display. The end result is typically not standards. By turning off
your notebook's display, the timing parameters are a bit more like the
real VESA or VGA signal.
For an optimal projected image with a notebook computer, it is
recommended that you use the Auto mode. This feature is useful when
an XGA image (1024ן768) is displaying with a notebook computer
supported by SXGA (1280ן1024) and when an SVGA image
(800ן600) is displaying with a note book computer supported by
XGA (1024ן768). See Source Menu on page 65 for more
information.
