When a user connects a laptop to a projector and the image displayed is very fuzzy (blurred) but the brightness level is satisfactory, the first setting to adjust on the projector is the focus. The focus control adjusts the clarity and sharpness of the projected image. Incorrect focus settings can lead to a fuzzy or blurred image even when the brightness is adequate. Adjusting the focus should help in making the image clear and sharp.
