Hello

My name is Ashik and I work for the Social Media and Community Team at Dell.

Kindly check the projector functionality with a different laptop connected to it. If working fine change the screen resolution on the Dell laptop and check for functionality. Post changing the screen resolution if you are facing the issue update the drivers from the link mentioned below.
