To enhance the quality of projected images, what should the AV technician minimize in the display environment?

Projected resolution
Ambient light
Screen glare
Background noise

The correct answer is: Ambient light

Minimizing ambient light in the display environment is crucial for enhancing the quality of projected images. Ambient light can wash out the projected images, making them appear dimmer and less vibrant. When a projection surface is illuminated by external light sources, the contrast ratio between the projected image and the surrounding environment decreases, leading to a loss in detail and clarity. By reducing ambient light—through measures such as using blackout curtains, adjusting lighting levels, or selecting appropriate projection times—the AV technician helps ensure that the colors remain true and the visuals are sharp and easily discernible for the audience. This results in a more engaging and effective presentation.
