  • Page 14: Ambient Lighting

    Section 2: Installation and Setup 2.1.2 Ambient Lighting The high brightness of this projector is well suited for locations where ambient lighting might be considered less than ideal for projection. A typical room with ceiling lights and windows rarely requires special attention. If light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image, the contrast ratio in your image will be noticeably reduced and may appear washed out and less vibrant.
