Hi Gurus>
When measuring a projector screen, how does the probe know how bright it actually is in nits when it doesn’t know its distance/angle from the screen?
Make sure it fits on patch:

I did read it vincent, but the nuances escape me.
So I have the circle, but what happens if I tilt the meter a bit or if it’s very far back. It does not say anything about the distance, will the reading be correct at a distance?

As you move the probe circle diameter changes… make sure patch size covers it. And if you don’t it will measure ofther light than your patch.
If you tilt it check if it covers the patch: draw a schema & apply tigonometry: 2 angles in that drawing.
Thanks for explaining that Vincent. If I have the circle, and now it’s an oval, the reading will still be correct? Would off axis be more susceptible to other light that’s reflecting in the room?
Would it help if I figure out the circle, then blacked out the light around it with some matte black material. Or is measuring as is better take into account the complete system, which includes some of the light bouncing around.

Vincent, Excuse my poor drawing of my last question. It involves patch size, but also reflections+ambient. Should the patch size be the whole screen or make it smaller, or should it be big, but then matte-d out on the sides.
Would an oval be worse now because I’ve tilted it, and is it getting more stray light because the area is bigger than a circle would’ve been at perpendicular? Stray light from the rest of the image/patch/etc red line. Blue line is the patch in the oval.
Also, should the angle match where my head would be facing the screen to take into account any off axis response of the screen material?

Patch bigger than viewing angle, do the maths, that’s all.

Tilted it will get less light than in the direction of the normal vector from the wall and your eyes will get less light too if they are in the same position… so what is the problem?
Make sure you do not measure outside patch and taht’s all.
