so my question is,

"Does the same thing apply for Front Projectors" ????? Obviously you don't want a lot of light... but will a little red/blue/white behind the screen (but not shining on the screen, so running lights around the back of the frame of the sceen, and making sure the light can only go to the OUTSIDE of the screen, and not to the inside (if that made sense) so the light diffuses outward....


anyone know?

thanks!
The only part I can answer is the first, which isn't even the question - they are Philips Ambilight TVs (proud owner of one), the feature is fantastic, sure you end up with lesser blacks because it's a Philips, but it does actually ease eye-strain, turning it off mid-film is quite a shock! It doesn't increase PQ, lol, but the ambilighting does serve to give the illusion that black levels are darker. I didn't buy the TV because of it, but it is a feature that all of a sudden I can't live without - and when I upgrade my main TV, the Ambilight feature is going into the bedroom.

But as for your actual question - I have no clue.
