VGA is fine depending on the GFX card and if you can send native to the PQ (and it accept over VGA) you shold get a good quality there are lots of tweaks posie with aPC and you can download HD demo clips play games etc. What do you want to use the laptop for?

You need a VGA to M1-DA adapter, however the InFocus website is currently showing these as being out of stock. I’ve had a quick look around at a few places, but nowhere seems to be showing these available or in stock. I would imagine if you look around on the web (particularly some US sites), you maybe lucky and find somewhere that has them. Picture quality should be very good.

http://www.lindy.com/uk/productfolde...1229/index.php with a VGA to DVi-I/A cable may work i would contact your retailer (that you bought the PJ from) and ask them about an M1 to VGA adapter

Hi Hornydragon

I wanted to show holiday digital photos to friends etc. I like the idea of projecting as big picture - assuming the quality is good.

I appreciate the advice
