CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 325

A user attempts to connect a laptop to a projector but receives the following message from the projector: Out of Range. Which of the following needs to be addressed first?

Answer options

• A. Change the resolution settings.
• B. Check the video cable and replace it if necessary.
• C. Set the computer's display settings to extend/duplicate.
• D. Verify that the laptop video card driver is the most up-to-date version.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The 'Out of Range' message typically indicates that the laptop is outputting a resolution that the projector cannot handle. Changing the resolution settings is the most direct way to resolve this issue. The other options may be relevant but do not address the immediate problem of incompatible display settings.
