If you are using a handheld computer or you need to display something, it can be useful to flip the display in several situations. While it is a matter of a few seconds to switch from portrait to landscape mode on smartphones with the single tap of a button or by enabling Auto-rotate, things are not equally easy when it comes to switching the layout on a desktop monitor or on a laptop. This is exactly opposite to the portrait mode layout on smartphones, where the horizontal pixel count is less than the vertical pixel count. The landscape mode is that mode where the height of the display, or the vertical pixel count is less than the horizontal pixel count. This will prevent your computer from going to sleep in the middle of your presentation if there is a long pause where your computer is not being used.Most laptop screens and desktop monitors come with the landscape mode by default, to display. If you are going to be running your computer using only the battery as a power source, make sure the options under Running on batteries are all set to either Never or to a time that is longer than your presentation. In the Power Schemes tab, make sure the Power scheme is set to either Presentation or Always On. In Classic View, find the Power Options applet and click on it. Choose Start, Control Panel, then switch to Classic View by clicking on the link on the left. This is done by accessing the Power Options applet in the Control Panel. You can cycle this key combination to switch your display from having it only on the laptop, to having it only on the projector, and finally to having it on both.īefore you start a presentation, you may want to change your power settings so that your computer does not go to sleep in the middle of your presentation.
On most laptops this key combination is the Function Key (Fn) followed by F8 (the key should be marked, usually as CRT/LCD). Sometimes you may have to press a keyboard combination to display the contents of your screen using the projector. This connector has 15 pins on both ends and will plug into a 15-pin female connector on the back of your computer.
To connect a projector to your laptop, you will need a special VGA male-to-male connector.
You will not be able to use your laptop to display your speaker notes or outline. What you show on the projector will be the same thing you see on your laptop’s display. When you connect your laptop to a projector, your display will be mirrored.
