You can connect your computer to a projector
to give a presentation on a large screen.
The instructions below describe how to connect
to a projector by plugging the projector cable into a video port on your
computer. This is the most common way to connect a projector.
You can also connect to some projectors
(called network
projectors) over a network. This
allows you to give a presentation over a network if you aren't in the same
room, or even the same building, as the projector. To see if your projector has
this network capability, check the information that came with the projector or
contact the manufacturer.
To connect to a
projector
1.
Make sure the
projector is turned on, and then plug the projector cable into a video port on
your computer.
- Projectors use VGA or DVI cables. You must plug the cable into a matching video port on your computer. Although some computers have both types of video ports, most laptops just have one type. Some projectors can be connected to a USB port on your computer with a USB cable.
2.
Open Control Panel by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Control
Panel.
3.
In the search box,
type projector, and then click Connect to a
projector.
(To use a keyboard shortcut instead of Control
Panel, press the Windows logo key +P).
4.
Select how you want
your desktop to be displayed:
·
Computer only (This shows your desktop only on your computer screen.)
·
Duplicate (This shows your
desktop on both your computer screen and a projector.)
·
Extend (This extends your
desktop from your computer screen to a projector.)
·
Projector only (This shows your desktop only on a projector.)
