The projector is a very necessary "device", which is successfully used in educational institutions, at work, at home or even at festivities. And, if with a laptop computer, almost no one has problems, for many there is a problem how to connect the projector to the laptop.
How to connect the projector to the laptop correctly?
In fact, the projector is often used as a second, enlarged laptop screen, for example, to view photos, movies or participate in a computer game. If you were asked to use the device for this purpose, then first check to see if there is a VGA connector in your laptop. Then turn off your laptop. This also applies to the projector. Then you need to connect the device to the laptop through the VGA connector. Then both devices are turned on.
As for how to connect a laptop to the projector via HDMI, then in this case we do the same.
If you talk about how to connect 2 projectors to a laptop, then in this case you need to acquire a splitter (that is, a splitter) for a VGA or HDMI connector.
Most often, after the described steps, an image should appear on the wall. If this does not happen, you will have to do a few more manipulations. As a rule, on the keyboard of the laptop there are so-called function keys, designated from F1 to F12. Try to press each one in turn, one of them may be responsible for connecting the projector. In case of failure, try pressing the Fn key at the same time with another function key. Another option is to use the help of so-called hot keys, for example, P + Win.
Additional measures for connecting the projector to the laptop
In addition, you may need to configure the display properties to connect the projector. Especially this applies to those devices, to the kit that comes with a disk with drivers. If you talk about how to connect the projector to a laptop with Windows 8, then you need to perform a couple of actions. When you turn on the laptop through the "Plug and Play" function, new connections will be found and their drivers installed. After that, after clicking on the Desktop, you need to select the "Screen Resolution" section, and then "Screen Properties". In this section, you need to set the resolution that is optimal for your projector. In OS 10, we do the same, just work with the section "Additional screen parameters".
