Projector resolution & aspect ratio #19

Closed dill closed 8 years ago

dill commented 8 years ago

Just collating the e-mails we've exchanged so far on this topic:

Both rooms have chalkboards.

Does this sound correct?

Yes, that looks correct.

A large number of projectors that I encounter are still 4:3. Even when projectors support 16:9, they're usually projecting onto 4:3 screens. So to maximize utilized screen area when using a projector, it almost always makes sense to format presentations to 4:3. (In contrast, when doing an online presentation, it is often safe to assume 16:9 at this point.)

My suggestion is that we go with whatever is easiest for each of us. I have some materials that are in 4:3, others that are in 16:9. I might go with a mixture rather than reformat all of them to one aspect ratio. If I do reformat them, I would probably do it to 4:3 if we think we're likely to repeat this workshop in the future.

Closing this as it's covered in #23.
