Contrast is most affected by

(a) ambient room light, and
(b) projector.

Brightness is greatly affected by

(a) projector and
(b) screen.

Changing the screen may give you an improved appearance of contrast, but probably not anywhere near the cost of investment's worth, if applied to, say, an AE900 or one of the high-contrast (albiet single chip) DLP projectors.
