A white projector screen has no gain, with its even reflective picture to 
people at all angles to it.

To get gain yours must say be a silver coated or something and thus only 
those sat more or less staight in front will see the brighter picture. 
Those off center will see a very much darker picture, possibly not 
watchable.

Thanks.
I found a web article that described some differences between the different 
screen types (after I posted the question). It makes sense now.
