Thanks for the feedback. From what I can tell, the majority of projectors can do both. My goal is to figure out which projector will do the conversion and display the best given this setup.

I'm in the market for a new projector for the company's training room (ceiling-mounted). The screen that it projects on is a 4:3 screen, but the PC currently used &nbsp;to display most of the time is widescreen. Most laptops too, I would assume to be widescreen. I couldn't tell whether it's better to buy a WXGA projector that would then convert the image to 4:3, or if I should get an XGA projector to match the screen, or maybe something else? My concern with a widescreen image on the 4:3 also is that someone in the back probably would not be able to read text clearly. Short of getting a new wide screen (which I suppose is an option), what would you recommend?<br />
<br />
Also, there is a VGA cable currently run to the ceiling mount, so I was hoping to use that, but I guess I may need to bite the bullet and get an HDMI cable to be run?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Looking to replace current projector currently using a 4:3 screen

A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers, usually comprised of the display device, circuitry, casing, and power supply. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the screen size. They are connected to the computer via VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, LVDS or other proprietary connectors and signals.

A home theater is a theater built in a home, designed to mimic (or exceed) commercial theater performance and feeling, more commonly known as a home cinema. Today, home cinema implies a real "cinema experience" at a private home. Components and attributes include home cinema, backyard theater, home theater in a box (HTIB), audio-video (AV) receiver, front video projector and projector screen, home theater (PC, HTPC or media PC), media center, and switchable projection window.

A miscellany is defined as a "collection of various pieces of writing by different authors", but it has come to mean something "Of items gathered or considered together of various types or from different sources" or "a collection or group composed of members or elements of different kinds". The word "miscellaneous" comes from the Latin word "miscere", meaning "to mix." You might have heard the expression "a mixed bag," which applies when you don't quite know what you're going to get. More commonly, a miscellaneous group is made up of an odd group of things that don't fit anywhere else.
