Screen Gain is a measure of how much light a projection screen reflects compared with a standard reference surface.
Example of Screen Gain
A bright media room may use a large TV or an ambient-light-rejecting projection screen, while a dedicated theater may use a projector and acoustically transparent screen. In that kind of Davis display or projection project, the term Screen Gain would describe a measure of how much light a projection screen reflects compared with a standard reference surface. Davis would use that understanding to account for screen or display selection, HDMI signal path, mounting, calibration, and real viewing conditions in the room, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
