The Display options should be showing 2 displays VP-XXX  and Built-in Display. 

Note: Projector Naming may display a different number than VP-558 but that should be the projector image. 


Click on VP-XXX and change your resolution to 1920 x 1080. This will adjust your screen to fit the projector screen and display at the correct resolution. Once complete, your laptop screen should now be mirrored on the projector, and no longer experience a letter box image.
