Projector screen?

Hi

I've decided on buying a Sanyo z700(cheapest 1080p projector I could find)

Just not sure what projector screen to purchase I have heard a few people say the blacks aren't great with the Sanyo and a greyscale projector screen might help so just a few questions.

1. my room is fairly dark but it has white walls so might get reflection off a high gain screen? what gain would you recommend? and would it be greyscale?
2. I've mainly looked on ebay for projector screens electric ones and don't seem to find any greyscale ones?

Regards

Paul

Re: Projector screen?

hi, i have a z700 and am using a panoview 92" screen, the blacks being as black as they should be isnt a problem for me, have a play on the white walls before you invest in a screen so if the image blacks are to grey for you. other than that after a bit of tweaking the image is excellent. enjoy
