Re: buying new home, need some advice


Grey screen = low gain (will make blacks very black, but won't reflect 100% of what you shine on it)
White screen = neutral or high gain (very good for rooms that have some ambient light)


So, simply, if you have a dedicated HT room with a projector sitting at its ideal throw distance, grey screens can be a good choice. Otherwise, white is the way to go.
