MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / February 2007High Def Vertical Display
I want to make a powerpoint presentation in a 16:9 vertical format so that it can be displayed on a Samsung 46 " high definition LCD HDTV turned that is capable of 1080i, 1080p 720i, 720p and all the standard video display modes plus HDMI and PC (RGB). Max resolution appears to be 1920 X 1080. What settings work best in setting up powerpoint to accomplish this and what is the best way to turn everything 90 degrees sideways to allow me to design easily and then output it so it looks wonderful on a Hi-Def television monitor mounted vertically. You can encounter all kinds of "fun" with this one (I have developed a number of these for digital signage). (1) Orientation Before you even design anything, you need to create a method for hanging the display that works with the presentation you create. Will the controls on the display be on the left or right when it is hung? If you switch them, then your display is upside down. (2) Display Options The best scenario is if the display has an option to rotate its input from landscape to portrait. This way you can design a 9x16 (tall) presentation and have the display orient it to look right. But reality is very few have this option. (3) Write Sideways For the most part you need to create a 16x9 presentation (go to FILE >> PAGE SETUP >> change the size to 16" wide x 9" tall) and design everything sideways. So if the display is landscape the presentation looks sideways, but when the display is mounted vertical/tall all is displayed properly.
