I can't get my xv-z9000 to display properly when inputting from my Packard Bell laptop. Does it need a video driver or is there a set of video settings required on the laptop? All other inputs work correctly. Please can you help. Thanks

Can you describe what you mean by the display not being right? Are the colors wrong or does it not display at all?
Thanks,

Just to be sure we are all on the same page...
I understand that you have a VGA cable from your laptop to the projector and that when booting the laptop you see the startup screen. Am I correct so far?
Second: When the laptop completes the booting process, the projector remains blank, but the laptop screen remains OK.
Depending upon the laptop, there will be a function key to toggle between different displays. Usually these options are 1)laptop only 2) laptop plus external monitor and 3) external monitor only. During the boot process both the internal and external monitor connections are enabled for a time. Once the boot process has completed, the laptop will revert to the "standard" setting which is usually the laptop screen only. This is what is happening here. Toggle the function key to enable the external monitor and that should resolve the problem.
If not, we'll look elsewhere.
Keep me posted.

Please can you help? Also what resolution and refresh rate should I use and finally should I use Normal or Point to Point on the projector. Many thanks
