It doesn’t matter if you are connecting your HP laptop to projectors for an official presentation, it is easy and simple. Follow these modification patterns to the laptop’s video display settings before you begin the connection process.

After you have completed the above steps, you can proceed with the connection.

Here are some steps to connect your HP laptop to your projector

Step 1. 

You must first connect the projector and your HP laptop. You will need to connect one end of your video cable to the projector’s video input-output port. Then, secure the other end of your cable to the VGA port on the laptop. If the presentation has sound, connect the audio cables and turn the laptop on.

If you need to refer to the instructions manual before turning on the projector please do so. This will help you avoid making any mistakes when connecting the devices.

Step 2. 

To view all display options, press the F4 key on your laptop keyboard. If you’re using Windows 7, press the Windows and the P keys simultaneously.

Step 3. 

Select the duplicate menu to view the text on the projector screen and the monitor of your laptop. You can also choose the ‘projector only option to display the desktop on your projector screen. After selecting this option, the laptop screen will turn black.

Step 4.

To restore the laptop’s desktop, you must select the option “Computer only”.

Use the adapters to connect

In an ideal world, everyone would have the same video connector for their computer and the TV. There are occasions when this option is not possible. If this happens, you will need to use adaptors or cables that are specifically designed for your situation.

The DVI-to VGA adaptor is always included with HP laptops. This allows them to connect to multiple monitors and devices. Connect the adaptor to your computer’s DVI port and then connect the VGA cable to the adaptor.

To make things easier and more convenient, make sure you have two types of video connectors.

The right video connectors

To avoid connection problems and get the best picture quality, it is important to select the highest quality video connectors for your computer and display device.

There are two types of video transfer methods, analog and digital. If you prefer to use the digital method to connect to another device, the view video option will not be available.

You will also see an error message or the movie being played at a low-quality resolution if you ask the projector to play digital content in high definition, such as Bluray movies and analog connections.

Here you will need to verify that the connectors you are using fall within the respective categories of HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA. After connecting the projector successfully, you will need to adjust the display properties of Windows 10, Windows 8 or 7, Windows 8, and Windows 7 separately.
