Would this screen work in a classroom setting with lights on?

No. Projecting in well-lit rooms is difficult at its best. You may either greatly diminish 'ambient light' in the room, by dimming the lights and masking the windows. Carl's Place offers other screen materials. FlexiGray is a much better material for applications involving ambient light. Here is a link to a comparably sized piece of FlexiGray: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JFDMXUS?psc=1 Please let me know if I can be of further help. Thanks! Joe Carl's Place

It should work for that but if you are going to mount it to a wall I would go with a regular screen that the light wont go through. I think this is best used for rear projection. But that is my opinion.

Very reflective but bright. It would work fine in a bright room BUT, any direct light would reflect off the screen. It is very hard to find a matte screen with a super bright picture.

I have used the projector in classrooms of approximately 10x8 meters and everytime I have not darkened the room completely the results were very satisfactory.The brightness of the projector is perfect for a class or a conference.I have used it to project movies from a laptop (HDMI port) and to use power point slides from a Surface tablet (using both VGA and HDMI modes) and I am very satisfied with my M115HD

I don't think it would put out enough light for your needs. It has an adjustable lightselector, however, it is my opinion not what I would consider a study light. It really doesprovide wonderful atmosphere for your room though.

The lights do work very well with a Green Screen. That is what I use them for. I would recommend buying light bulbs that have a warmer tone to them because the light bulbs that are included can make you appear washed out.

Yes, the LCD screen is normally dark ( but viewable in room light ), but when you perform a function, press buttons, etc. the screen does light up.

It's not as great as I thought it would be. I use it in a gym to show movies at a group home for children on a 12' white screen. It would be okay with the lights on but not nearly as bright as I expected. In a smaller room it would be fine.

it will work in a semi to moderate lit room you can always adjust brightness of screen to make it brighter when connected

WE love our screen! we have it since last fall. Whether we have lights on in the room, or one the blinds open in the room, this screen has performed well for us. One of the keys we found, was to make sure the projector was close enough to obtain a crisp picture. (We initially had it mounted too far back.) I would recommend this screen.

I would think that the lamp would work for that purpose, as the temperature of the light output is the same as the temp of sunlight. There are other lamps available, with a better frame. I have one or two like the one shown, and I like the "touch on/off" switch, however, I have had two similar to these fail at the hinge. I have found the light with the flexible shaft to be more substantial, and uses the same bulb, and hold design.They are excellent desk lights. I do Tax and Accounting work, and they have really helped my tired old eyes. I use one on my desk, and 2 beside my monitor. We also use one for a piano light on my wife's Clavinova.

At 30-60" any screen would be fine. I would suggest you get a white matte screen for the best experience. Depending on the lighting at the 60" size you may have a little washout, but it would still be usable. Of course darker room the better.

Yes it will but depending on your expectations. The lumens are enough we are currently using ours for school, it meets the need for the bucks. But if you are in advertising or high definitions is needed for your presentations, probably it will be better to invest in a more expensive model. If your presentations are more in-house I will say it ok, meets the needs and can be seen either in a darker room or with daylight with out any issue.

Only if it is on transparency. To place a picture on the screen would black out the light.

Unfortunately yes. On a sunny day, my living room floods with sunlight and tough to see screen clearly with reflections. At night, it is much better with ambient lamps for lighting.

not yes/no answer, maybe this will help. We have ~ 12' * 15' room and we turn all 3 lights on (~60W equivalent CFLs each) for best light. It is fairly good. With only 2 turned on, it is ok for socializing but not for good reading.

Dim lights. It works fine in my living room, circa 150 square feet, with one 100-watt bulb. The image was barely visible in my Sunday school classroom with a ceiling full of flourescent lights on. I had to turn the lights off and let the room just be lit by light coming in the windows. So no, I don't recommend it for use in a brightly-lit room. This projector appears to be intended to watch movies with lights out or dim more than to make business/classroom presentations. It's usable if you can dim the lights or turn them off, but not ideal.
