Using it
- Set the display to its native resolution and turn off any zoom or overscan before judging the edges.
- The grid and circle slides should reach every edge with round circles. Cut-off lines or ovals mean the output is scaled.
- Edit the custom message and next-cue slides in PowerPoint to use them as stage cues.
