Every laptop or netbook owner once realizes that the monitor of this computer device is quite small. Compared with a standard computer, which has the ability to connect other monitors that differ significantly in diagonal, the laptop does not have this function. The solution to this problem may be purchasing a projector. It can be used for various purposes, not only to increase the overall diagonal of the monitor.
It is necessary
Laptop (netbook), projector, connecting cable
Instructions
Step 1
In order to connect the projector to your laptop, you will need to completely de-energize these devices. Turn them off by unplugging the power cables from the sockets.
Step 2
Run the VGA cable from the projector to the laptop.
Step 3
Connect this cable. The VGA connector on a laptop is usually blue.
Step 4
Turn on the projector first by connecting it to the mains, and only then the laptop.
Step 5
As a rule, further you will only have to adjust the image, because it should automatically appear when you turn on the laptop. But there are times when you need to turn it on. To do this, you need to wait until the operating system is fully loaded and press the Fn + key for switching between screens. You will recognize it by the two monitors. On Acer notebooks, this image can be seen on the F6 button.
Step 6
If the image is still not displayed on the projector, then the function keys are disabled in your laptop or this projector does not fit your video adapter. Most often, this can be caused by an outdated video adapter model. Newer graphics cards include a DVI connection. This connector is more versatile and offers high image quality. The projector can only be connected to this connector if there is a corresponding output on the projector.
