hello I have found that projection television is always disappointing. part of it is due to the picture your eyes view is a reflection and not a light beam as from a CRT Television or LCD/LED Television. The literal physics of the light is different.
The best results for a projection television are using a screen of the same type used to show home colour slides and home super 8 movies. I still have my grandfather's home movie projector, home camera & screen. A friend used the screen to test out his new projector. the results were far better than when projected unto a bare plaster wall or large sheet of white muslin.
