As title as just brought a 1.2 gain screen after being recommended it on ebay but the texture of the screen is crap! you can see it in the picture! :( so after being burn't by that and cutting my loses i want to buy a decent screen like a beamax etc but seem like most are 1.0 gain so will it make a massive difference? By the way its in a light controlled room.
 
Had the same problem myself, bought a cheap 1.2 gain screen from ebay and thought the same as you being able to see the material through the picture was not what I wanted I really couldn't live with it.
Got rid of that and bought a 92" Beamax M-Compact in black from CVS Media and the difference is amazing, you can actually see the picture now instead of the screen.
For me the difference between 1.2 and 1.0 gain was huge, although it could just have been a crap screen.
It was nearly 4 times the price but money very well spent I feel, personally I would recommend the Beamax range they are very well built all round.
