Yeah that's going to be interesting, I'm curious too. I've read though that the newer ones have a much better contrast ratio and throw out more light so it's less of an issue, plus the screen is a factor as well. If you have a perfect light sealed room you can get grey screens with gains below 1.0 to get better colour and blacker blacks, or if you have a room with not perfect light control (like mine is) then you can get screens with gains from 1.1 to 1.4 to compensate (at the expense of contrast and black depth).

My wife wants curtains on there too, so between some good cellular blinds with the light stopping backing and thicker curtains I think we can do a pretty good job of it.
