![]() ![]() ![]() It may interest you to know that Office and PowerPoint were originally Mac-only programs, as there wasn't yet such a thing as Windows when they were introduced, and that Microsoft continues to make Office (including PowerPoint) for the Mac to this very day. Nor is the issue Keynote, unless the template you're using is limited to a max size of 800圆00. All I know is that your MacBook Pro supports an incredibly wide range of resolutions, up to and including 4K, so whatever the problem is, it's not the MBP or OS X, and so far you haven't offered a shred of any reasoning that would make you think that it was. You may need to restart the computer once connected to the projector for the projector and the machine to communicate better about what's supportable. I have an Epson projector right beside me that has no trouble with that. At the very least, any decent projector from the last six year or so can do 1920x1080p (Full HD), even if its not the machine's native resolution. I hook my 2012 MBP to projectors nearly every day, and even when the native resolution is lower than what you mention they can usually offer resolutions going beyond the 1400x1050 you require. Switching to a Mac has definitely been a mixed bag, with some neat things and clever design, but also quirks and limitations that cause headaches I really didn't expect. I've seen people report crashes and weird glitches when using SwitchResX, so I definitely want to test it properly before risking it when I need things to work smoothly.Įven if that ultimately does the job, I just find it strange that a new Macbook Pro would need a rather crude looking $20 3rd party utility (one that some people complain about when it comes to stability and reliability) to use a 5 year old projector that works fine with an even older Dell Latitude. I'll give SwitchResX a try when I have some spare time to mess around and make sure that its custom resolution works correctly and reliably. It's a good thing I have access to those options rather than relying exclusively on Mac OS X. I'm not going to have a chance to play with the projector before I actually need to use it, so I think I'll have to use Powerpoint and Windows this time. ![]() The image is quite fuzzy, and there's a lot of detail lost in images. This is the part that solves the problem. For EACH monitor listed on the left hand side of the window, uncheck 'Use custom display name system wide' and SAVE using File -> Save (it will save 'modified' at the bottom right corner of the window if you dont). I can use it at a lower resolution like 800圆00, but the quality is poor compared with its native resolution. Go to System Preferences and open SwitchResX. ![]()
