Since 1280 × 1024 pixels is the default resolution for most leading workstations, your projector is ideal for displaying workstation video output. There is no standard for workstation video output. Workstations that follow the SXGA standard and use the HD15 connector won't need an adapter cable or any special connection device. However, your system may vary; contact your computer dealer if you need help connecting your workstation. note You won't be able to view images on a separate monitor when the DVI port is in use.
