That would be my guess too. Your projector can probably not display a widescreen image - I know that ours also do not, (4:3 aspect ratio only). My macbook automatically adjusts to the projector resolution. It makes my laptop image stretched, (and a bit blurry like you said) but it looks fine on the screen, and for me, that is all that matters.
