Using Family Movie Night
  • If you have a video projector and want to view a good movie overnight with your family just from the PC, then, you have to use one of these two options by expanding the project menu:
  • Second Screen Only
  • Duplicate
  • If your projector has a different native resolution than your own display, then it is recommended to use the option related to the second display. It works far better than any other solution because the Windows can accept the output features more compatible than stretching the main screen’s resolution. It will work with your projector just as compatible as any other output devices.
