Hey guys,

I have wrestling with this problem for about 3 weeks now. I have a G5 Mac at the church I work at, and recently I was able to upgrade the projector’s connection from coax connection to a VGA connection. The screen we built was specifically designed to be 16:9, but since we switched to VGA, the projector won’t allow me to change it to 16:9 anymore. It is only the standard square 4:3 resolution.

It seems like a simple solution, just change the resolution, but I either can’t get a 16:9 resolution or the projector won’t let me change it.

Any solution?
