Hey everyone!
I have been reading these forums for the past while in preparation of starting my projector setup. I am need of some help in regard to the screen. Here are some specs:
Setting: Basement, not completely light controlled. Moderate amount of ambient light during the day. The room is about 24 feet long, 12 feet wide, 8' ceilings. Only windows/doors are at the complete opposite end of the room from where the projector screen will be. Ceiling is white, walls will be a light/medium gray (painting soon). 8' ceilings.
Projector: Epson 2045
Screen size: 120" diagonal
Other info: Per the Epson recommendations, I'll be mounting the projector just under 11 feet away from the wall. Planning on mounting it about 1'5" from the ceiling, which will leave 1' in between the ceiling and the top of the screen. We will be sitting about 11 feet from the screen.
Question: Given this setup, would y'all recommend a matte white or gray screen? I have been reading just about every comment I can regarding these two, and I can't decide. Given the Epson 2045 struggles with deep black colors, and the fact that i'll have mild-moderate ambient light in the room, is the gray screen an easy choice?
Thanks so much for the help!!
