Notebook computers and resolution
standards
The unit is designed to project industry standardized video such as
VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) or XGA
(eXtended Graphics Array). Notebook computers do not use indus-
try standards. They use whatever timing is necessary to match their
local LCD display. The end result is typically not standard. By
turning off your notebook's display, the timing parameters are a bit
more like the real VESA or XGA signal.
