Hey all,

Every sunday I project a power point during a churches service on a powerbook running os 10.4 and a sanyo projector. My problem is when I show photos or video there almost to dark to see. I tried using a pc laptop and it was nice and bright. Also the projector is set as bright as possible. So my question is what do I do to make the laptop project lighter.

thanks for your help:confused:
 
Were you using the same cable when you hooked in the PC? What about changing color profiles on the PowerBook? You can even try to make a new color profile and calibrating it to make it very bright.

System Prefs>Displays>Color tab

Also, this Apple discussion thread may be of some help.
 
Thanks for the reply,

Tomorrow is sunday so ill get to mess around with the powerbook again. Im also gonna try using my macbook and see if the results differ. The pc laptop I tested with was an iWin I believe its a cheap dell rip off

Yes same cables and config accept the powerbook uses a VGA adapter. Maybe its just a bad adapter. You may of just answered my question by asking me one
