Classroom Projector not showing correct resolution on PC

Modified on: Fri, Dec 2 2022 8:59 AM

When connecting to a classroom's projection system, the screen might display a blurry, or pixelated small image.  This is due to the projector showing the wrong screen resolution.  Follow the steps below to see if this is the issue.

1.  Right click on the desktop, and select "Display Settings"


2. You should see a screen like the below. Make sure to select the box that is representing the projector, and not your monitor.



Note: If the projector shows your desktop on the projector, you might see something like the below.  If this is the case, and you have a blurry screen, scroll down until you see "Duplicate these displays", and change it to "Extend these displays"


3.  Scroll down the screen until you see "Display resolution".  From the dropdown, select 1920x1080


4.  Select "Keep these settings"


Verify the screen is no longer blurry. If the box is greyed out, or this didn't fix the issue, please contact the Technology Services desk at (701) 845-7340 (option 1)
