I have had best luck with the T30 and a projector when the TFT is
turned off and only the VGA out is turned on.  When I do that, I
get great output from the VGA out.  Otherwise, the output from
the VGA out is pretty bad.  There might be other ways to make it
work better, but this approach has been good enough for me so
far.
