Amol,
It's always a good idea to find a conference room in your facility and practice your presentation with a projector, anyway. This won't help you with variations between projectors or room lighting, but will help you figure out how to optimize your presentation for the big screen while there's still time to make changes. 

I know it's sometimes a pain to arrange a conference room and projector, but it should improve your presentation and make you look that much better.

That being said, thanks for bringing up this topic. There are some nice tips here. 

Good luck,

Hello Group,

Greeting and Happy new year. I have searched for this topic and the only post 
I found goes back to 2002. Since the projector technology has advanced so 
much I just wanted some advice.
I have generated a lot of good confocal images. And after making sure that 
they look nice on my computer screen I went ahead and presented them at 
my meeting. However the projected images were of low resolution and 
consequently in many images the details was lost. In effect the projector 
made my presentation dull eventhough the images were looking so vivid and 
sharp on the confocal computer screen. 
My question for the group is how do you present your data using the 
projector? Is there any particular projector that you had success with? Are 
there any other strategies for modifying the images?
Thanks for helpin me out!

Regards,
Amol
