FAQ's - Screen FAQ'sQ15: I just got a good deal on a SVGA Projector with a contrast ratio 2500:1. It gets good quality in a 100" image on a white wall so I am planning to get a screen without spending too much. What should I buy?

A: Many people are using SVGA Projectors for videos and gaming with good results.  Here are some ideas for selecting your Projection Screen.

 Step 1: Choose a screen that is somewhere between the $100 to $400 price point (excluding size factors). As a rule of thumb, try to keep the cost of your screen to about 30% of your projector's cost for the sake of proportional spending.

Step 2: Choose a 4:3 or 16:9 format screen, depending on how much time you will be involved with TV, gaming or movies that have various formats from 4:3, 16:9, and 2.35:1.

Step 3: MaxWhite or CineWhite is the best choice for you.  But you may also consider high contrast gray material to improve your black levels if you are watching presentation with an SVGA projector with a low contrast ratio at about 2000:1 with a high output that exceeds 1500 lumens.  Contrast gray is primarily used to improve black levels but the diminished light return should always be considered.
