Why The Projector Fails To Recognize My Computer

I tried to connect my laptop to the projector but it keeps failing to recognize it. Why? My colleague's laptop is the same model and it works.

Answer: If your computer does not automatically recognize the projector when they are connected, make sure you set your PC's resolution correctly. In other words you need to set your PC's resolution to one that's supported by the projector. If you don't know what resolutions your projector supports simply try several resolutions until it works.

Solution #1: Set your PC's resolution to one that's supported by the projector.

Another possibility is that your computer has a setting that prevents it from recognizing external device automatically. In that case you need to manually switch to the projector view which is usually done via some hot keys.

Solution #2: Manually switch to the projector view which is usually done via some hot keys!

If none of the above works let me know!
