Monitor/Projector Setup
Ideally, when setting up a monitor for viewing data, a light neutral-
coloured wall behind the screen should reflect an amount of light
comparable to the level of light coming from the monitor. The wall
facing the screen should be of low reflectance (mid- to dark grey) to
reduce reflections from the monitor screen. Lights should be placed
so that they do not reflect from the monitor screen.
When setting up a room for a projection system, ensure that minimal
room light falls on the projector screen. This can be done by means
of baffles to shield the screen from direct illumination. Low-
reflectance (mid- to dark grey) walls are also desirable, as the walls
will scatter light, some of which inevitably reaches the screen.
