Still no image? Check your laptop display settings and make sure it's either set to ”duplicate display” or ”projector only” or ”mirroring” as some laptops may not automatically adjust these settings.

You may need to reduce your screen resolution in order for your computer to display correctly. If you encounter issues, please follow these steps:

• In the display settings for your computer, set the resolution to 1366 x 768 or lower.
• If you’re using a Mac you may need to set the resolution to 1280 x 720
• Try adjusting the refresh rate to 60hz
