jan smit Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I'have to buy a new laptop. Looking through the different type I see a lot off them have a higher resilution as 1024 by 768. I have an almost new beamer.What to buy. I now that it's best as the beamer and the laptop have the same resolution. If I buy a laptop with an higher resolution and put it back to 1024 for a presentation will I see that on the screen?Regards,Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRR Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 JanBy "beamer" do you mean digital projector ?? And do you mean that the projector is 1024x768 ?If that is the case, my laptop is 1280x800 native (but will go to 2048x1536) and my projector is 1024x768When using the projector I re-size the laptop to 1024x768 and it projects fine (looks skewed on the laptop screen, but fine on the projected screen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 If you plan to use Pan/Zoom/Rotate effects in the next PicturesToExe v5.00, I highly recommend you to buy a laptop with a good NVIDIA or ATI video card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmccammon Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I have a Dell 6000 laptop that runs at 1680x1050 resolution and an Infocus LP600 projector that has a native 1024x768 resolution. The cool thing is that when I hook up the projector the laptop automatically resizes to 1024x768. For once Windows XP seems to be an automated helper and I don't have to resize the laptop prior to projection. I have yet to try setting the projector to a high resolution but understand that it is possible. Since my shows are sized to 1024x768 it has not been an issue for me to this point.

Johnwnjr Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 I have a 1024 x 768 DLP Pojector and a laptop that can have a higher pixel rate. I have reduced the laptop screen to 1024 x 768 and the file size of each picture to the same. On projection everything is fine. I hope that this helps.

I was afraid that when I re-size the laptop screen from 1280x800 to 1024x768 it will look awfull on the beamer. But from you I understand that it's only awfull on the laptop. The projector is still projecting a 1024 x 768 screen.ThanksJan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
