Changing the computer’s video
resolutions
Depending on your computer's graphics capability, you may be
able to select one of several resolutions. Generally a computer-
either a PC or Macintosh- with 1 MB VRAM will generally run:
640 × 480 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit Truecolor)
800 × 600 at 65,000 colors.
1024 × 768 at 256 colors.
As the resolution increases, the number of colors you can run
decreases. With 2 MB VRAM a computer will generally run:
640 × 480 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit Truecolor).
800 × 600 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit Truecolor).
1024 × 768 at 65,000 colors.
1280 × 1024 at 256 colors.

Notebook computers and resolution
standards
The unit is designed to project industry standardized video such as
VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) or XGA
(eXtended Graphics Array). Notebook computers do not use indus-
try standards. They use whatever timing is necessary to match their
local LCD display. The end result is typically not standard. By
turning off your notebook's display, the timing parameters are a bit
more like the real VESA or XGA signal.
