i can see clearly now...

This past weekend I helped to install a new video projection screen at our church. For many years we have shown our song lyrics and sermon notes using a projector, which was shown on a large blank wall. The new screen is 200 inches diagonally and weighs over 200 pounds. It’s a big screen. We used it on Sunday, but the difference (from just using a white wall) wasn’t as pronounced as we expected. The detail is a little clearer, and the colors seem a little richer, but we were hoping for something a little more dramatic. The consensus is that our projector is just too far from the screen (about 85 feet) to cause the rich presentation quality we’d like to have. .. and we discovered that one of the walls in the auditorium isn’t plumb… the best laid plans…
