Casio Green Slim XGA 2500-Lumens DLP Projector (Pre-owned) for $220+ S&H

Does anyone know how to setup this projector for 16:9 screen? I have connected it to my HTPC but with native 1024 x 768 resolution it goes out of my screen (82 inch x 45 inch = 92 inch diagonal).

Should I manual set the resolution to 1024 x 575 to get perfect fit?

When I turn mine on the image goes beyond my 16:9 screen as well. But as soon as a source is connected (PS3) it switches to 16:9 and fits the screen like it should.

FYI - I was able to resolve this issue by setting the resolution on HTPC as 1920 x 1080 with screen fit. I guess what this does is send the full 1080p signal thru HDMI to projector and let projector handle it.

in this case, your computer is rendering everything at 1920x1080 and then the projector scales it back down to 1024x576 for output. Depending on whether the scaling is better in the projector or the HTPC, there may be a difference in quality. If you are doing something like playing a game, you are making the computer work harder than it needs to since the extra resolution will just be thrown away. You could just set it to 720P (1280x720) which is closer to the projector's resolution, or if you can get 1024x576 that would be optimal for the projector. On the other hand, if you have 1080P video content sources, setting the res lower than that would make the computer scale the video down, which may heat up the CPU/GPU more than just playing the content straight as is.
