[QUOTE="chscag, post: 906971, member: 46727"] First, make sure you're using the correct cable to the projector. Most modern projectors can take both DVI and VGA. The more expensive models can even accept HDMI. Your MBP uses a mini display port video output. You'll need an adapter to go from the video output port on the MBP to whatever input cable you're using for the projector. (VGA, DVI) Next, you want to setup the MBP to "mirror" its internal display to the projector. If the maximum resolution of the projector is 1024 x 768, choose that during the setup. Also make sure you go through the projector menu and have the correct input set. Setting up a projector at first requires a bit of work, but once it's done, the projector functions just like an external monitor. In reality, that's what it is. Regards. [/QUOTE]
