LCD projector and Laptop reolution issue

[jan smit]

I have a lcd projector with a resolution off 1024x768. Now I've got myself a new laptop. The resolution of this new laptop is 1400x1250. Is this a big problem? I can force the laptop to a resoltion of 1024x768 but than the letters are not so sharp. What to do?

Regards,

Hi, Jan,

As with everything else, "sharpness" is relative.

If you leave your laptop at 1400 x 1250, it may appear sharper, but the image is probably smaller. (just like when you project a slide, it looks sharper if your projector is closer to the screen).

I would set the laptop at the maximum native resolution of your lcd projector (1024 x 768) and adjust the distance from the screen for the optimum image.

By the way, which projector and model are you using? Are you happy with the D-max, or density range, of the projected images?
