If you are looking for the ideal projection screen then there are a few things to look at that might help you save some money. Gain is the increase in brightness of the image produced compared to a flat white screen. While a projector’s brightness is measured in ANSI lumens, a screen’s gain can increase that measurement. This combination of lumens and gain could save you money, not right away, but in the long run. For example, you are looking for about 2000 lumens for your meeting room. You could come up with the money to buy a 2000 ANSI lumen projector and use a cheap projection screen. The other option is that you could buy a cheaper 1000 ANSI lumen projector and a projection screen that has at least a 2.0 gain. The combination of the projector and screen will give you an effective image brightness of 2000 ANSI lumens. The money saved comes in the price of the replacement lamp. The smaller wattage needed for the 1000 ANSI lumen projector will cost less than the greater model. This is how you could save money in the long run.
