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)

Correct, set to 1280x720 with monitor, disconnect, hookup to projector and then change to 1920x1080.

Ok great, thanks. It's actually a 4870 Radeon that I have. I can't wait to see how it handles full high definition!!
