Screen Recommendations

Posted by FloridaJim on November 20, 2008 at 16:35:21:
Hello,

I am a video newbie. I am planning to purchase an Optoma HD65. Looking for screen recommendations as far as gray or white. From my research, the rule seems to be gray screen for LCD and white screen for DLP (like the Optoma). I find some recommendations for Optoma's "Gray Wolf" screen for the HD-65. This is a gray screen with a 1.8 gain. Since one review of the HD-65 mentioned that it was on the "bright" side, is a screen with a 1.8 gain a good idea? or would I be better off with a 1.0 screen?

Thanks,
Jim Bailey
