Hello guys,
I've been roaming the different pages of the forum and I can't find the exact answer to my question...
I just bought my first projector, Epson 3020e, so far i've been projecting the image on the white wall of my living room, giving me a nice bright image.
But ultimately I would like to have a real projector screen, i've actually bought one last week, a 120" white screen with 1.3 of gain. At that time I thought I made the best decision, but now i'm actually starting to have some doubts...
I will be projecting a 120" inch image from 15 feet out. During the day there is some light in the room, but ultimately I want to watch movies at night when it's completely dark. My ceiling is white so it reflects some light in room and alter the experience a little bit... I heard the grey screen could actually help with this ? And that during the day the screen would actually be brighter and more contrasted with the grey screen ?
I've called the place where I bought my screen and I could still exchange the screen for a 120 inch grey 0.8. I know that it will give me a better image during daylight, but what about at night when it's completely dark ?
I've read somewhere that for movie watching i'd better be going with a grey screen.... That it gives better contrast and better blacks... But i've also read about the screen door effect...Ultimately I want the best image to watch movies.
I know i'm all over the place with this thread, but I would really like some help on this question....
Grey (0.8) or White (1.3) 120" Manual Projection Screen ?
Thanks a lot,
Billy
