User questions & answers

Question: Is this a legit playbill
Answer: The laser pointer is bright enough that it can be seen on most display types, and the green color helps as well. The hard part with LCD screens (TVs, monitors, etc) is that most are manufactured with a anti-glare coating/layer. Put that into the mix of the screen being a light emitter rather than a reflector light a projector screen, and it does make it harder to spot the pointer. Best practice on these display types is to start off the screen and then move the pointer on the screen so it is easier for participants to follow the pointer to where you are directing them.
Question: what is the size of the playbill
Answer: haven't tried
