[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1172835, member: 46727"] Welcome to the Mac Forums. Attaching a projector to your Mac for all practical purposes is the same as attaching an external monitor. You didn't mention which Mac notebook computer you're using, but generally they all operate pretty much the same with the exception of available resolution and output port type. When you attach the projector, does the Mac detect it correctly? You mentioned you were using the correct native resolution - most projectors I've used are designed for 1028 x 768 or 800 x 600, with varying refresh rates. Do you have the projector setup as "mirror" mode on your Mac? In my experience using both PC and Mac notebooks for presenting a PowerPoint display, there is no difference in brightness or contrast. Usually, the Mac does a better job. Of course it all depends on the type of projector you're using. [/QUOTE]
