I have the SL4SU projector. The problem is that it will not display the bottom part of my computer screen. I do not want to change the resolution of my computer every time I use it because I have never had to do that in the past, and it has always worked for me. What should I do?

when u connect to projector.after connecting change your laptop screen resolution and by setting lowest resolution you will see full screen.

'No signal' and 'unsupported signal' messages mean 1 of 2 things, either the VGA output is off(laptop) or the display resolution is set too high(laptop and desktop). Assuming the VGA cable you are using is good, try this:

Desktop: hook the computer back up too your computer monitor & set the computer to the basic VGA resolution. For windows XP, right click a blank area on the desktop, click 'properties' on the dropdown menu, click settings. Write down the numbers in the 'screen resolution' and 'color quality' boxes!

Drag the 'screen resolution' all the way down to then 'less' side. Then change the 'color quality' to the lowest setting. Click apply, then answer yes (the display will look UGLY - don't worry!!) Now connect your computer back to your projector. If it works, then the resolution you use on your desktop monitor is not supported on your projector. Experiment with different resolutions to see which one looks best on your projector. You will need to change the settings each time you switch monitor to projector.

Laptop: by default the VGA connector on your laptop is off. To turn it on, look for a blue symbol on one of your function (F1, F2, F3...) keys. It looks like an old TV with a line on both sides 'O' (F4 on HP) Press & hold the blue button (on the lower left of the keyboard, usually to the left of control ) and tap the bleu button you just found. Let go & give you're a computer a few seconds to change over. If the laptop screen goes blank, you found the correct button! The display image should now be visible. Repeat this 1 to 2 times to change it back to laptop display.

If you did not see the display on the projector, 2 other issues are possible. First, verify that the VGA output on the laptop is working - connect the laptop to a regular computer monitor & change the display resolution to the lowest settings (see desktop above), then try it again on the projector. If you cannot get an image on a computer monitor, your laptop settings may need to be adjusted in the same dialogue box as the settings. Monitor #1 is the laptop display, Monitor #2 is the external output.
Happy viewing :)

when you say its cutting off the image, do you mean it is blanking the top and bottom off the picture. Is the image that is displayed on the computer the same as on the projector or is it just a cinemascope version of the computer screen

s video doesn't carry sound so you will have to use phono plugs too

Try changing your setting s on your computer to match the resolution to your projector. Change display settings to 800x600, 1024x768, etc. with your mouse right click on your screen, click properties, at the display properties dialogue box click the settings tab you should see the screen resolution.

Try lowering the resolution of your pc to a lower amount that the Projector can handle. Start as low as 800x600 and try working up from there.
To change pc's resolution: Right click on the desktop, click properties then settings and try sliding the resolution adjuster and testing each one with your projector. wait for the projector to resync itself each time.
good luck!

sounds like it could be a problem with the output resolution of the computer. some projectors will not be able to display anything higher than 800x600, and most computers now can output at a higher resolutions. check the limits of the projector and change the the display on the computer by right clicking on your desktop and going to properties >settings >screen resolution.

you have a weird display resolution set somewhere on the laptop. The vplcs7 is relatively old. It only supports 800 x 600 (SVGA). If you are cloning your monitor, you need to set the output to the projector also to 800x600. Depending on how your laptop is configured you may need to set your laptop monitor to 800x600 while using the projector, then going back to the normal resolution when you are finished.

I just checked the specs on your Benq PB 6110, which has a native resolution of 800X600 and will simulate 1280X1024. When you connect it to your computer, the computer goes to 800X600, right? That is the resolution of the BenQ. How high a resolution do you want? THe highest I have seen in projectors is 1024X760, which is not that much higher. Projectors seem to lag behind monitors and Plasma/LCD/LED TVs for resolution. They must have a very small market share therefore low developement.

Hi-

Try changing the cables and try setting the resolution to 800x600 on the computer.

hope this helps
