Presentation Background styles in the era of large LED video walls at conferences Great: Dark entirely SHA2017 reminded me that the LED screen flashbang effect is real
Good: White entirely
Hell: Switching between dark and white between slides

@benjojo especially if brightness is “a bit” higher than strictly necessary… IIRC we never had them above 10 (dark hours) to 15 (daylight). Once, without audience, (day 3 or 4) we tried higher values. Sunglasses did nothing at the point where the power grid in the wall couldn’t cope, at around 50%….
