Hook up a projector

How do I hook up a projector using HDMI? I tried to hook up my Optoma projector, but it doesn't recognize the Macbook

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

Treat the projector as a normal display.

In the system preferences, make sure that you have clicked 'detect displays'.

This should ensure the Optoma Projector recognizes it.


Try setting the projector as the primary display, and alternate.

The resolution may need to be edited on the Macbook to ensure that the projector is capable of displaying it. 🙂


I do the same with an external monitor and if the resolution is to high, the monitor cannot recognize the Macbook.


All the best,

Andy
