The measure of light reflected from a projection screen is called gain. All projection screens have a gain value assigned to them. Screen gain varies according to the materials used in manufacturing.

High gain screens need to be cared for as a person would any other projection screen. It should be wiped down according to the manufacturers directions. Care is largely dependent upon the material of which the screen is made. Some materials can be cleaned with a damp cloth, while others can only be cleaned with a dry cloth. It is important to always follow the manufacturers directions so the screen is not scratched or damaged during cleaning.

High gain screens can be used in many settings from home theater to classroom. However, it is essential that a person chooses the right type of high gain screen to use in their particular situation. Typically, the higher the gain, the more narrow the viewing angle. So high gain screens are commonly used in uncontrolled lighting situations and where viewers are positioned in areas more toward the front surface of the screen and not at the sides of the room.

Wall and ceiling mounted manual and motorized projection screens operate in a similar way. Both offer the same benefits, but manual screens are less expensive. When a person is deciding between the two types of screens, they often judge based upon price only. However, price should not be the only consideration.

Manual projection screens and motorized projection screens both offer the ability for easy storage and use of a projection screen. Both can be stored away when not in use and opened easily when needed. They both are stored in their own storage compartment, helping to keep them clean and extend their life. A motorized screen not only offers convenience, but may be the only logical choice for rooms with high ceiling or very large format screens.

Manual projection screens are operated by physically pulling the screen down out of the housing. Motorized screens, on the other hand, are operated by a motor and remote, so raising or lowering them is done by a push of a button.

Motorized projection screens do offer a bit more convenience as they need no physical interaction. Additionally, manual projection screens are lighter in weight and usually can be installed by anyone, where motorized projection screens most often have to be installed by a professional due to the electrical hook up requirements.

When making the choice between an electric and manual projection screen a person really needs to consider convenience, room ceiling heights, size of the screen, a source of power, and installation costs. Assuming the screen material is identical, the overall projected image quality is going to be the same.
