Actually, it is generic and not special case to projectors:
Observed behavior is different on distance to the screen
for desktop systems, laptops, and handhelds; it isn't quite
as dramatic as the projector case. Handhelds tend to be held much closer,
followed by laptops, and then desktops. Just observe your own behavior
with the different devices...
One way or the other, we need to "fix" this problem and get sensible
behavior across display devices....
