Tips for Using an External Display
You can play your Keynote slideshow on various kinds of projectors and external
displays.
Here are ways to get the best video quality in your presentation:
m If you have a choice between a DVI connector and a VGA connector, use a DVI
connector to connect the projector. DVI connections generally result in the best image
quality and are easier to set up.
m Set the preferred screen resolution (the size of the image on the screen) in the Displays
pane of System Preferences. Look for this information in the documentation that came
with the display. For most projectors, the preferred screen resolution is 800 x 600 or
1024 x 768. Most liquid-crystal display (LCD) and Digital Light Processing (DLP) displays
work with a variety of resolutions, but one is the preferred setting.
