Projector VGA out won't work! help!?

Question

Im having trouble getting my projector(optoma EP719) to use the VGA Output. I have my LCD (BenQ FP91G+) hooked up to the VGA output from my projector. Powered both devices on and the lcd displays No Signal detected. The projector has video but won't output the video to my lcd. Ive tried adjusting the resolution of the projector to 1024x768 and still no video output to the lcd. Any help figuring this out would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Well it said no signal because you dont have any input n the projector !! you need to connect the computer to the vga input and another vga cable from the projector vga output to the monitor.  the projector the only thing that it does is a monitor loop-through.

beside that set the resolution to 1280 x 1024 on both and press re-sync and playing with the frequency and tracking in the Image II menu.

Radd,

   You say "I have my LCD (BenQ FP91G+) hooked up to the VGA output from my projector. Powered both devices on and the lcd displays No Signal detected. The projector has video but won't output the video to my lcd."

   Perhaps I am misunderstanding you, but it sounds like you are looking for your projector to output a video signal.

   Projectors don't output anything.   They simply show the video that is input to them.  I would say this is the problem.

   If I misunderstand the situation, I'd also point out that in addition to adjusting your resolution/screen ratio sizes, you should be able to select your video source through your remote control.  If you have not selected the right source, it will not show anything.  

Good luck

Answer 3

is it so that you can see through the lcd screen aswell as the projected image.if so the input signal must be the same as the output signal

for instance if the input to projector is hdmi then the output to lcd must be hdmi as they are both digital streams

if the input is vga the output must be vga to lcd

digital to digital or analogue to analogue you can not input digital and output analogue
