Extended Displays extend your desktop to the left or right of the screen (depending on how you have
it set up), this can be useful for a presentation, where you can prepare or open up windows and then move
them from your screen to the projectors without showing your screen to the audience.
2
Duplicate (or Mirrored) Displays show a 1 to 1 copy of your screen on the projector. The drawbacks of
Duplicate Displays, however, is that many projectors cannot support the same resolution as a computer
display, so to compensate both Windows and OSX will lower the computer's display resolution to that of
the projector's, leading to occasional distortion of the computer's display.

Projectors generate lots of heat; make sure the projector is in a well ventilated space before
prolonged usage. Make sure to allow the projector time to cool down before packing it, as to avoid damaging
the bulb
4
Projectors also come with built in audio speakers; to use them in OSX, open System Preferences, go
to the Sound, and then in the Output tab, select the projector.
For Windows 7, go to the Control Panel, then the sound section, and select the Projector from there.
The audio volume of the projector can be controlled through the menu, or with a remote, if it is included
with the projector.
