Forums:Forum Nav:  Is Hot Spotting All Bad?  post #1 of 2 Thread
Starter  I know, I know,: heresy. Seriously though, is it
possible there is a place for a screen with some hot spotting?
Please don't flame me; I'm really just trying to figure a few
things out before I go with my next screen. Hopefully I can tap
into greater knowledge and expertise than I have.  Situation 1:
Insufficient lumens for a given size screen. This is why people
go with a high gain screen. Increase gain enough and you're
going to limit the viewing cone. That's obvious. But is that all
bad? What if all viewing takes place within that cone? Do we
really care that we've limited the viewing cone? Now, a
noticeably bright spot in the center of the screen is a worst
case scenario, at least it seems to me. But for some people,
might that be preferable to a screen that was uniformly too dim?
Obviously not the best solution. But
