In the days before digital projectors and liquid crystal display (LCD) TVs, small businesses turned to old-style slides and roll-up Radiant projection screens to display presentations. If light from a projector hits a dirty Radiant screen, you see unsavory splotches and residue covering your images. The screen can be wiped down for optimal viewing in a matter of minutes, but because Radiant screens aren't as tough as modern-day equipment, they require greater care when cleaning.
