As the title says, I have a ceiling-mounted LT150 DLP projector. I currently use it with a 16 x 9 Da-lite high power screen. However, my kids just did some serious damage to it, and I need to replace the screen.
I have the screen angled down slgihtly to correct for some minor keystoning, which directs a bit more light towards the seated viewer. However, I understand this is a retro-reflective screen, and isn't necessarily the best option with a ceiling mounted projector.
I'm thinking of a Da-Lite Model B with the Video Spectra material with a 1.5 gain, or a Draper Luma with the F-1500 material also with a 1.5 gain.
My question is whether I'll achieve as much gain from one of these reflective screens compared to the retro-reflective high power material screen with my ceiling mounted projector.
Also, I've been very happy with the lack of hotspotting and visible wrinkles on the High Power, and don't want to develop those problems with one of these other materials.
Does anybody have any insight? Thanks.
