Our projector has a resolution size of 1920x 1080 so images must be resized to these dimensions i.e landscapes 1920 wide and if possible 1080 high, this latter dimension could of course be smaller if a letterbox image is displayed,in the case of portrait images these must be no taller than 1080 the width will sort itself out on resizing.
Providing images are no larger than those stated all will project without problem.
