Well, I might have to go change the way I answered on the survey! I've been asked to find a new projector for my lab.
I happily agreed of course, but now I'm taking the question to the experts...
The current projector is a Dell 2300MP. The issue with it is we try to project lots of images of cells and other tiny things. Many of the images are from florescent spectroscopy and have bright red or green images on a mostly black background. I think the issue is the reflective screen reduces contrast and we just end up with black patches. In my presentations i've tried to get around this by increasing the brightness of the pictures in my presentations and quick adjustments with the projector.
Is this an issue of improper usage of equipment, or do we need a new projector? Budget of less than $5000
The projector sit on a table in front of the screen about five feet away and is plugged into various computers, both Windows and Macs.
