When I was looking at FP vs RPTV one of the things that almost scared me away from fp was daytime viewing. Everyone kept saying that you need total light control or it is almost unwatchable. People would say the image is washed out and looks terrible with even one light on in a room.
I wished people would have put a pic in to show how it looked.
Well for anyone doing research here is a picture (a bad quality one from my cell phone) that I think shows that you can have quite a bit of light and still have a decent image. It's some golf show that was on DiscoveryHD.
Details: X1(not really a light cannon), Da-Lite "C" HCMW (el-cheapo screen), 2 - 40watt lamps on in the corners and a 3x40watt ceiling fan light on. Screen is covering a large window that has a mini-blind on it (and the sun is hitting that window)
Not really any direct light hitting the screen but the room it plenty bright for the kids to play and the image is (IMHO) pretty watchable.
