Presentation problem

I have now used the iPad for the first time on a trip to give a talk. Before I left I had tested the iPad on three different projectors. Two of them worked fine and projected the entire image correctly. One however streched the slide to widescreen and I could not change it. The projector had no problem with my laptop. Then I did the real thing and went on my first trip to give a scientific presentation at a conference with nothing but the iPad (well and USB stick with a ppt presentation as a safety net). The projector at the conference had the biggest problems. It would move the picture half a frame up so that only half of the slide could be seen. When hitting the picture adjust button it would display correctly but only for a second before the slide would jump out of frame again. I finally got it to work by moving to the second slide. After picture correction the slide would only move up a few lines so that only the very top of my slides was missing. I ended up giving my presentation this way but it was not ideal. Again none of the PC or Mac laptops other presenters were using gave a problem. So there is something about the way the iPad is communicating with projectors that is not ideal. This should be improved. Then the device would be really useful. I do not mind not seeing the slides on the iPad during the presentation because I always look at the screen during a presentation. Anybody else having similar problems with the communication between iPad and projector?
