Screen Innovations HDTV 100-Inch Matte White 1.1 Theater Sensation Fixed Screen
Why You Need a Screen:  "Can I just use a plain white wall?"To enjoy the very best image from your projector you need controlled texture, controlled color, and controlled gain.  Projection screens have optical coatings that enhance their reflective properties; white walls don't. You can certainly use a wall if you want to, and you may get a watchable image. However, compared to the image you get with a proper screen, highlights will not be as brilliant, contrast and color saturation will be reduced, and (depending largely on the texture of the wall) sharpness will be decreased as well.  You may end up with an image that is not as good as your projector is capable of delivering.Furthermore, one very important but often ignored benefit of a screen is not actually the screen, but the frame. A solid black frame around a video image substantially boosts the visual quality of the image itself. So unless you paint a black rectangle on your wall, by foregoing the screen you will lose this vital component in the overall visual experience.The frame makes the difference.  An outer black velvet frame absorbs the projector's light, while a standard painted frame reflects the projector's light back into your eyes causing distraction.Why You Need a 1.1 GainGain is a measure of the reflectivity of the screen's surface. The higher the gain is, the brighter the image. A gain of 1.0 means that the screen reflects back the same amount of light that the screen projection standard (a homogenously reflective block of magnesium carbonate) can reflect.  A gain of 1.5 means that the screen reflects 50% more light than the screen standard. Having a high gain screen is a mixed blessing; the image may be brighter, but since the viewing angle usually decreases inversely to the gain, a bright screen may be more of a sacrifice than a pleasure.  If your room is completely dark, too much gain can cause eyestrain or fatigue.  The goal is to have the perfect balance of brightness which is achieved with a 1.1 gain utilizing today projectors in a dark environment.Screen Innovations' Matte White 1.1 Gain screen material is widely used with most projectors today.  The flexible PVC based material is one of the most popular screen materials used in a dark theater environments and provides a wide viewing angle, high contrast, bright picture and excellent color temperature.Why You Need a Screen Innovations ScreenValue:  Screen Innovations understands that premium quality products do not have to be extraordinarily priced.
