I thought I sent you private message about this issue. Do a refresh on your browser. Nonetheless I have found that unless your curtains can block out the sunlight IT WILL be washed out. I have this same issue so I put BLACK-OUT fabric behind the curtains. It is a cheap alternative and works rather well. You can find it at your local fabric store. I went even further and took out our old curtains and just use the BLACK-OUT fabric as the curtains as they are rather nice and modern looking. They also work well with blocking out drafts from the cold winter and they work well and block noise from outside the windows. Damn new condo is coming up beside me. Lots of construction noises. I should not complain myself since my new place is also coming up and the building beside would have the same issue.
As with helping out with ambient light rooms....the Da-Lite Hipower is recommended. But be wary this will also highlight a little more of the rainbows that people talk about in DLP projectors.
