THe pics to be shown are on a DVD. Can I run the DVD on my laptop and project them onto the screen from there?
And no, I cannot darken the hall where these will be shown; as on whole side of the room has windows viewing a courtyard.
I'm not aware of any details of this entire operation except I've seen it used by others.

I create photo shows with Pro Show Gold. Go to Photodex.com and check it out. You will not be disappointed. My D7000 has 16 mp and images on my 40" LCD TV are just fine.

I wouldn't worry about it. First off, most people that aren't pro photographers aren't going to say "hey, sure is a lot of noise in that pic". They don't see it at all. And a pro photographer isn't going to think anything because they would know that projectors aren't the best media for displaying a photo for the reasons you are concerned about. Besides, if your projector isn't color calibrated, your colors won't be exact either.

If you take all the best suggestions here the images you will see will be bright, high contrast, and slightly over saturated in certain colors. If you don't like high contrast and oversaturated reds, yellows and blues, too bad. This is what you will get.

Most laptops have an HDMI out port. Most TVs and projectors have an HDMI in port. Theoretically HDMI cords are supposed to be pretty short. I have one that is 15 feet long and it works fine.

Just save your pictures as JPEG on the DVD and not to make it a DVD movies disk. You can use a thumb drive instead. Correct me if I am wrong that you don't know what kind of projector it is right? If so don't crop your images at all. The quality of your images will be greatly dependent on the projector.

That was my point. All projectors and TVs also pride themselves on being high contrast and having punchy colors. You couldn't get low to normal contrast if you tried. I've tried everything.

However, the OP wants to project files burned on a DVD. The highest resolution that the DVD format can support is 720 x 480 pixels per frame.
