Transcripts:

[18:15] Rick: Hello, how may I help you.
[18:18] Customer: I am researching screens for our building. We have old screens which work when the lights are dimmed or turned off. I am looking at screen sizes between 100in – 150in. Screens that work well with the light on. We have large windows, which in the summer can cause some headaches.
[18:20] Customer: Our Great Room as we call it is a bit awkward, so I have been using two large screens for training. Can hold about 40-45 people in classroom style setting (tables and chairs)
[18:21] Rick: We do have some ambient light rejecting screens that will help you under these circumstances.
