How do u hook up a projector to a laptop_?

Answer 1

Those guys are right ^^^^

You also may have an S video output on your laptop (small roundish connector with either 4 or 8 pin holes in it). I do.

It will work too but the picture resolution will not be as good as a VGA connection.

The s video will be maximum 480i.

VGA will display HD resolutions.

Answer 2

Assuming the projector has a VGA video input (Link 1) you can use a VGA to VGA cable (Link 2).  You can probably use the one that you may have connecting a PC to a monitor.

If there is no VGA input you need a suitable converter (e.g. link 3).

To send the signal to the projector you will have to use your laptop display switch (usually Fn+F? (where ?=5, 7 or whatever your machine uses).

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

you need to connect it via D-SUB OR VGA  : the blue head with the little screws........
