Compatible Computer Display Formats You can connect the projector to a wide range of computers, including PCs and notebooks, Apple Macintosh, PowerPC and Intel Core Macintosh computers, PowerBook computers, many iMac and iBook series systems, and high-end workstations such as the Sun® SPARCstation.™ Although images are displayed at the projector's native resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels, Epson's patented SizeWise chip supports computer display formats ranging from VGA through UXGA. To project images output from a computer, the computer's external monitor signal must be set at a refresh rate (vertical frequency) that's compatible with the projector; see the following table for compatible formats. For best results, the computer's resolution should be set to match the projector's native resolution (1024 × 768). If this resolution isn't available, select one of the other compatible formats: ■ Windows: Right-click the desktop, select Properties, click the Settings tab, and select a compatible resolution. (For a notebook displaying through an external monitor port, you'll need to click the Advanced button on the Settings tab, then adjust the resolution of the external monitor.) ■ Macintosh OS X: From the Apple menu, select System Preferences, then click Display or Displays. Make sure the VGA Display or Color LCD dialog box is selected, then click the Display tab and select a compatible resolution. You may need to modify existing presentation files if you created them for a different resolution. See your software documentation for details. Technical Specifications 93
