Has the computer been set for dual display?

the image on the computer screen. To display the
whole image, turn off dual display. Refer to the
video driver manual or to the computer's monitor
manual for further details.

or YPbPr when a computer is connected, the
projected images will appear purplish.

component video signal source is connected to the
projector, the images will appear greenish.
