• The brightness level of the projected image will
change accordingly when you switch between
different input signals. Data (graphic) "PC"
presentations using mostly static images are
generally brighter than "Video" using mostly moving
images (movies).
• The native display resolution of this projector is in a
4:3 aspect ratio. For best display picture results, you
should select and use an input signal which outputs
at this resolution. Any other resolutions will be
scaled by the projector depending upon the “aspect
ratio” setting, which may cause some image
distortion or loss of picture clarity. See "Selecting
the aspect ratio" on page 30 for details.
