[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1628942"] Your assumptions are mistaken. I hook my 2012 MBP to projectors nearly every day, and even when the native resolution is lower than what you mention they can usually offer resolutions going beyond the 1400x1050 you require. At the very least, any decent projector from the last six year or so can do 1920x1080p (Full HD), even if its not the machine's native resolution. I have an Epson projector right beside me that has no trouble with that. You may need to restart the computer once connected to the projector for the projector and the machine to communicate better about what's supportable. All I know is that your MacBook Pro supports an incredibly wide range of resolutions, up to and including 4K, so whatever the problem is, it's not the MBP or OS X, and so far you haven't offered a shred of any reasoning that would make you think that it was. Nor is the issue Keynote, unless the template you're using is limited to a max size of 800x600. PS.
