CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 79

A technician is setting up a laptop and projector for a presentation. When plugging in the projector, it mirrors the desktop screen from the laptop, but everything appears distorted and compressed.
Which of the following should the technician do to correct the appearance of the image on the projector?

Answer options

• A. Update the laptop graphics driver.
• B. Change the scaling options.
• C. Change the desktop resolution.
• D. Replace the video cable.
• E. Utilize a USB VGA graphics adapter.
• F. Adjust the keystone settings on the projector.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as adjusting the desktop resolution can help match the projector's native resolution, correcting the distortion. Options A and B may improve performance but won't specifically address the distorted image. Option D is irrelevant unless there is a physical fault with the cable, while options E and F do not directly resolve the resolution issue.
