I connected my laptop to this projector via HDMI ...

I connected my laptop to this projector via HDMI cable. The image resolution is great, but the colors are HORRIBLE. Faces look like they have a rash, backgrounds are way too green. When I try to color adjust, all the color adjustment choices in the menu are grayed out--all but the basic settings (&quot;Movie&quot; vs.&quot;Presentation&quot; etc.) no fine tuning possible. I think only a VGA cable would activate these. Am I doing something wrong? Anything I am not aware of?
Asked by: Meret
As others have said, You can change the color space on the projector and that should fix the problem. Or try the color on the PC.
