Step 1: Check the ports on MacBook Pro and BenQ Projector

Step 3: Connect the Cable or Adapter to Your MacBook Pro
Once you have the right cable or adapter, connect it to your MacBook Pro. If youre using an adapter, plug it into the Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort on your MacBook Pro. Then, connect the other end of the cable or adapter to the HDMI or VGA port on the BenQ projector.
Step 4: Turn on the BenQ Projector
Make sure the BenQ projector is turned on before you connect the MacBook Pro. You may need to switch the input source of the BenQ projector to the port youre using to connect to your MacBook Pro.
Step 5: Configure the Display Settings
