Apple iMac G5 - Manual (Page 35)

Chapter 3 Using Your Computer 35
Note: The Apple Video Adapter is not compatible with some previous iMac models.
When an external monitor or television is connected, the same image appears on both
the iMac G5 display and the external monitor (known as video mirroring).
Note: Because of the display limitations of most televisions, images displayed on a
television screen are of lower quality than those on the built-in display or an external
monitor.
Connecting an External Display or Projector
To connect an external display or projector to your computer with a VGA
connector:
1 Turn on the external display or projector.
2 Connect the Apple VGA Display Adapter to the VGA port on the external display or
projector.
3 Connect the Apple VGA Display Adapter to your iMac G5. Your iMac G5 automatically
detects the external display.
Important: To ensure that your iMac G5 automatically detects the external display or
projector, be sure the VGA adapter is plugged into the external display or projector
first.
4 Use the Displays pane of System Preferences to adjust the resolution on the external
display or projector.
