Inspiron 3521 15R laptop with HDMI connection, for some reason I can't get the display on the projector fit or project with clarity

When we first got ours we had the same problem with clarity and had searched all through the menu options with the blurry image trying to find it. The plastic part around the lens is what you use to focus the image. The first time it felt like that wouldn't move but if you keep at it gently it will work and then you won't have any problems moving forward. Once you fix the clarity you can read the menu better to adjust the image size. Good luck.

Hi, you need select the HDMI source input, and put the right bottom, this is the instruction to the projector to display the signal.

I have already checked the notebook and there is no hdmi and vga port. this is from the manual of the ultrathin notebook, Acer Converter Port- "Connects to the Acer Converter cable, allowing for easy connection to a LAN, an external display or an additional USB device." you can check this by looking at the acer website, choose download, then ultra-thin, then the series-Aspire, then products-Aspire V5-122P, then documents-User Manual (Windows 8.1), then download. there are pictures showing the right and the leftside ports of the notebook.

Just ... plug it into your laptop's video out slot, it'll just work like any monitor would. Right click your desktop wallpaper and select "Screen Resolution" to make any other adjustments you want regarding the screen locations and resolutions, etc...

That is exactly how I'm using it. The HDMI is plugged into my Dell laptop, and it is connected to a VGA older monitor so I can have a second screen. It works like a charm!

The laptop display is 1600x900 if you use the hdmi out then its 1920x1080 for 2nd display.

I tried to get it to work on an older laptop before I went with a newer one with HDMI and I had no luck.

I used the Belkin Laptop-to-tv cable to connect an old Toshiba with a blank screen to the HDMI TV so that I could send material to my new Dell and it worked very well. Sorry I can't help you since I haven't tried to connect my Dell Inspiron 15R to a TV.

Hi Felicia! I think I had the same problem when I started for the first time the projector...I have windows 8 in my notebook..I needed to adjust the resolution at Control panel. Or maybe check the configurations at projetor menu. I hope you solve your problem, if not, let me know. =)

Just use HDMI from your laptop to the monitor, it's a better interface. That's the way mine is connected.

I use HDMI out from the Projector to my laptop. I take that audio signal from my laptop and send it to a receiver connected to speakers.

That's strange. Mine worked right away. Is the cable intact? If you attach it to the computer, you will need to click on the projector option on your screen as well.

The easiest way would be with an HDMI cable (assuming your laptop has one).

either direct connection with a VGA cable or connect o PC via USB and connect that to projector as usual with VGA cable. You ge better resolution when going via PC

I am sorry to tell you that I made the same mistake. All you can do is mirror the DVI input. One thing I am working on though is creating aa custom driver that will double the virtual width of the monitor resolution while still maintaining the same height. I have gotten close once but the aspect ratio for the width doubled as well. Resulting in watching movies with a bunch of short fat people. My work around for now is to use the vga jack out of my laptop for one 23" monitor and an HDMI to DVI-D adapter and DVI-D cable to my other 23" monitor. This gives me 3 hi-res displays to use. Not the most elegant solution but it works. If you find an answer I would love to here it. If I get my custom double wide driver to work I will be happy to share. Cheers, CJ. Cjchumbley@computer.org

I have not been able to get my windows 8 tablet which is at 1366x768 to go from the HDMI signal to VGA input on a projector or monitor. I tried 3 different projectors and one monitor. I have had no success with it.

if your laptop is normal one,should got VGA port,this projector got VGA port also. then you need use an cable which got VGA male to female to connnect both. OR USE HDMI port also can connect laptop to projector.
