Q on gray screens
Posted by moviefan on September 10, 2008 at 11:23:20:
Any experience to recount? I'm looking at a 94" - 100" diagonal with a JVC D-ILA projector and a well-darkened room. I think I don't need the gain provided by most white screens, but what does the gray do to an image?
Here's the Da-Lite blurb:
High Contrast Da-Matâ„¢
With a special gray surface, this screen material is designed for use with today's high output LCD, DLP and D-ILA projectors. By lowering the black levels of the projected video image, this surface creates a more film-like image and is a good choice when video is the main source of projected information. This screen surface is best used when there is good control of ambient lighting and a moderately wide viewing angle is desired. Screen surface can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Flame retardant and mildew resistant. Viewing Angle: 45° Gain: 0.8
