Number of Picture Elements
of Sending Image
When you perform network presentation
using VPL-FE40/FE40L, VPL-FX40/
FX40L or VPL-FX41/FX41L, the image
sent from a computer is projected by the
projector with the resolution of XGA. If the
resolution of the image from the computer is
less than XGA, the resolution of the
projected image will be the same as that of
the computer. If the resolution of the image
from the computer is higher than XGA, the
image is converted to XGA and projected as
a degraded image.
When you use VPL-FW41/FW41L, the
image sent from a computer is projected by
the projector with the resolution of WXGA.
If the resolution of the image from the
computer is less than WXGA, the resolution
of the projected image will be the same as
that of the computer. If the resolution of the
image from the computer is higher than
WXGA, the image is converted to WXGA
and projected as a degraded image.
To prevent the projected image from being
degraded, check [Set PC desktop to
Projector resolution] of [Connection
Setting] in [Option Setting] in the
application software so that the PC desktop
is automatically set to the resolution of the
projector, or set the resolution on the
computer to XGA (or WXGA or XGA for
VPL-FW41/FW41L).
When the resolution of the computer is 1280
× 768 to 1360 × 768 in VPL-FW41/FW41L,
the image is shown in the window size.
(Sometimes black bands are added to the top
and bottom or left and right of the window in
WXGA according to the difference between
the resolutions of the computer and the
projector. The "Aspect" setting item of "The
Screen Menu" in the main unit cannot be
changed in the network presentation.)
If you use VPL-FW41/FW41L and if your
computer cannot output the resolution of
WXGA, delete the check from [Set PC
