"Hi I'm Ron Chase with pahrumpauctions.com located near Pahrump, Nevada. This is my shop, come on in. Today we are going to demonstrate how to connect a projector to a laptop. First you need to make sure you have the right cables. So look on the back of your projector, and you can see it has a regular video input. Looking on the back of my laptop I can see it has a regular video output so we will hook them both up using that cable. Make sure your laptop is turned on, video display is working fine, we will not plug in the video cable, and turn the projector on. Now you will need to wait a few minutes for the lamp to warm up, and we can display this against the wall, and make sure we are seeing the same window screen. And that is how you connect a projector to your laptop."
