Using the Remote Control 33
When Connected to a Computer
For computer images, Normal is usually the best setting to select.
This displays the image at the largest possible size without stretching
it. For computers with wide-panel WXGA displays, the PowerLite
1735W displays the image at WXGA resolution, making full use of
the display area; likewise, the PowerLite 1725 displays XGA images to
their best advantage.
Depending on your computer display and projector model, you may
see black bars at the edges. In that case, try selecting
4:3 (PowerLite
1725 only) or
16:9. The PowerLite 1735W also lets you select:
■ Full to stretch the image to fill the whole projection area
■ Zoom to fit the image in one dimension only, with the other
dimension cut off
■ Through to display the image without stretching or scaling it
If the resolution of the image is the same as the projector’s, changing
the
Aspect setting has no effect. Also, if you’re projecting through
your computer’s USB port, you can’t change the projector’s aspect
ratio; instead, change your computer’s resolution to match that of the
projector.
Adjusting the Color Mode
You can use the Color Mode button on the remote control to adjust
the color, brightness, and other aspects of your image. This lets you
quickly adjust the image for various uses.
Press the button repeatedly to select from the following settings:
Game: For increased brightness and contrast when playing video
games or watching TV in a bright room. If you notice video delays
during high-speed gaming, turn off the
Progressive setting (see
page 103).
Presentation: For computer presentations in a bright room with
color graphics.
Text: For computer presentations in a bright room with
black-and-white text and graphics.
note
If part of the image remains
cut off, check the projector’s
Resolution setting (see
page 102). Select Normal or
Wide, depending on the size
of your computer’s display
panel.
