| Ambient Light |
In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your | ||
images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft of |
| |
light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed out and less vibrant.
