Hi, hope you can all help me
Ive got an Infocus x2 running on eco mode.
At the moment I am throwing straight onto my wall, My wall is a biscuit colour and the wllpaper is blown vinly with a "canvas" affect design.
Im fairly happy with the picture I produce like this, but the colours are not great.
Im thinking about buying a screen, I have a couple of options.
My problem is I dont know much about 'gain'.
My front room has a white celieng and a dark red carpet, I cant control the ambiant light during the day that well, excepy by closing curtains ect.
If I want to use the pj in day time, I switch the pj to full power instead of eco, and the picture is ok ish. I use the screen more at night than day time though.
Would it be beeter to by a high gain screen? Ive been offered a Da-lite screen with a gain if 2.8 , would this be suitable to use my screen in the day time on eco mode? as well as using at night time?
Or am I better of with a screen gain of 1?
Is it worth buying one of the budget screens of ebay with a gain factor of 1?
I have about £180-£130 to spend on a screen, I know its not a lot, but there are a few deals out there for a second hand screen, or like I said a budget new screen from ebay.
The screen size I need is between 80" - 100".
Please help
