M1 MBP to VGA - shifted output to projector

(VGA - I know, right?)

Anyway, some of the projectors I must use only have VGA inputs.
I bought this USB-C to VGA and my presentation was shifted over about 20%, cutting off the left side of my slides.
I tried a colleague’s adapter (different brand) and the same thing happened with his but worked fine with his Windows laptop.

So it’s something with my laptop, macOS, etc.

Any ideas?

Sounds to me like an issue with the resolution and/or aspect ratio. Have you checked the display settings? Does changing the resolution (in MacOS) for the projector address the issue?

Thanks.
Unfortunately not. I think the choices were 1024x768 and 640x480, neither of which helped.

Aren’t you trying to fit ten pounds into a five pound bag?

Right?

What was the resolution of your presentation?

It was keynote, so it didn’t really have a resolution.

However, the aspect ratio was 16:9, which I thought was the issue (should scale, but it was minutes before my department presentation and nothing was going right). I hurriedly converted to 4:3 but that didn’t help.
