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 true color)
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 true color).
800 × 600 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit true color).
1024 × 768 at 65,000 colors.
1280 × 1024 at 256 colors.

Notebook computers and resolution
standards
PG-M10X
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 industry 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.
PG-M10S
The unit is 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 standard. By turning off your notebook’s
display, the timing parameters are a bit more like the real
VESA or VGA signal.
Receiving Video Output from Personal
Computers
When a notebook type personal computer is connected for
use in projecting, a certain amount of knowledge is
necessary for cable connection, startup and the
succeeding operations. Please refer to the instruction
manual of your notebook type personal computer when
performing the following operations.
1. Make sure that this unit is receiving signals
from your notebook type personal computer.
The external signal may not be output even though the
LCD screen of the notebook type personal computer
indicates such output. Check by using the
“INFORMATION” menu displayed by this unit (page 24,
25).
If 0 kHz is displayed, there is no external output signal
from the personal computer.
2. If the notebook type personal computer is not
outputting the external signal, perform the
following operation.
For IBM PC/AT machines, press either the [Fn] key or
one of the [F1] - [F12] keys.
When displayed on the LCD display of a notebook type
personal computer and this unit at the same time, the projected
video may not be correct even the LCD display is normal. In
such case, turn off the notebook type personal computer
display and try using only the external output mode. (In some
cases, external output only can be set by performing step 2
above or by closing the LCD display.)
