Where are the comparison charts of Projectors?
A lot of laptops whose default behavior is mirroring adjust their own LCD display resolution to match that of the projector. I think this is the effect that the executives are complaining about and what’s driving this question (but I could be missing the point). Most projectors you run into are 1024×768, and a 1440×900 display looks like ass when scaled that way. I don’t know that I’ve ever projected from a project that’s not 1024×768, so I don’t know what the default behavior is for mac laptops, but my worry is that even if you get a 1920×1080 projector the laptop might still mess with its resolution because of the different aspect ratio. Certainly, the projector will handle it gracefully, but the laptop still might not. It might also be worth looking into ways to subvert the laptop’s behavior. The projector will be pretty much fine no matter what, so if you can convince the laptop to not change its resolution it may not matter what kind of projector you buy.
