I made a film recently that looked great on my monitor, but looked terrible on a digital projection screen. Admittedly, the film was dark to begin with, but just seemed exaggerated on the screen. Is there a color grading guideline when outputting to a digital projection screen? I don't have one to test with, but I've been using an LCD TV now as a reference point.
It seems like the areas which are underexposed, but visible, on the monitor are black on the TV. And the areas that are properly or slightly overexposed on the monitor are brighter or blown out on the TV. So, I'm guessing the TV (and maybe the projector too) have a much higher contrast ratio than my monitor.
