How do I Set My Macintosh Resolution?

The resolution (i.e., fineness of detail) at which your computer image is projected depends on the particular Sharp projector in your classroom. Therefore, you must set your computer's resolution to one that is supported by the projector in your classroom. See the Classrooms page to determine which projector is featured in your classroom.

To adjust your Macintosh's resolution, select the desired resolution (e.g., 640 x 480) in the Monitors & Sound control panel found under your Apple Menu.

Warning: If you need to adjust your Macintosh's resolution, do so BEFORE connecting it to the SmartPanel.
