I have just bought my first projector, a Panasonic ae500.
850 lumes, so its pretty bright/high contrast for a LCD projector. I am after screen advice really. Im just using a plain wall for the time being, but one thing ive noticed is that there is alot of ambient bounced light in the room from the wall. This is lowering my contrast, and slightly washing out my blacks.
Does anyone recomend any screens that can obsorb light? I was looking at the DRH projector screen sight. The better you go though, the more reflective they are, but wont this mean they will reflect more light in the room, which is a bad thing for a LCD projector?
I even heard that going with a grey screen might be a good idea, to give better black levels. I recently used my projector at a friends house, who had dark red walls, i it seemed alot better contrast and colours than using it on my white walls where i live.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Dan.
