Hello All,
I am finally ready to pull the trigger and get my screen for the home theater. I just cant decide. I had asked on AVS Forum and it was suggested to get a 0.8 Gain Screen with ALR and grey/silver colour. I am projecting using an LS11000 from about 11ft from the screen that will be ceiling mounted (See image). It can be a bright projector with 2500 lumens. I haven't been able to find such a combination. Here are some pics of the setup I have, light wals except the screen backwall which is a dark blue. white matte ceiling. See attached pics. It is a walkout basement but I am planning to get some motorized blackout curtains or rollershades. It is more light reflecting off the walls which are light coloured. I have narrowed it down to these two. Which do you think would work best or are there other screens that would be better. Budget is around 1000 CAD Note: I am in Canada so that may limit my options. Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Edit: Pictures
Edit2: The EliteScreen has 1.2 gain. Is that too high? Can't I adjust the brightness on the projector to accommodate? I don't want any "hotspots" that i'm hearing may be an issue with a high gain screen.
