So I am interested in hooking up my computer to my projector in my basement, but I'm wondering about a few things:
1. Do I need to bring my monitor and hook it up to my pc as well as my projector or
2. Can I hook up my pc directly to my projector
3. My computer is set to 1680x1050 (max rez of monitor). Do I set it to 1280x720 on the monitor, then set it to 1920x1080 when I hook it up to the pj (its native resolution)?
Thanks in advance for the help. Some might wondering why I don't just try it out and see? Well, I'm a pretty careful kind of person and don't want to wreck anything unnecessarily. I know that if you turn up the refresh rate on a monitor too high you can possibly screw things up, so...
Again, thanks for any help that may be offered.
Oh, and my card can handle full HD (ATI 3870)
