screen is barely noticeable. Every month someone new comes over and is amazed by how it looks.

All this talk seems more like AV snobbery to me.

Projector screens on a budget? - Avantadrive_Original 2008-10-05 05:31:53 (140 views)

Go to a school auction and get a screen from a high school for 10 bucks - sidespar 2008-10-07 09:48:45 (21 views)

no, it would need to be 16:9 for HD - Avantadrive_Original 2008-10-08 04:14:57 (19 views)

so buy a bigger screen and letterbox. - sidespar 2008-10-10 10:24:32 (22 views)

I couldnt disagree more. I love our stewart grefox 130. night and day difference. - mmart6545 2008-10-07 21:46:53 (20 views)

are you comparing white paint to a stewart screen, or do an elite screen? - dloftis 2008-10-07 08:14:10 (25 views)

but just because he doesn't have the money for a better screen now doesn't mean he won't have it in - Steve Trac, Sec 303 2008-10-08 05:03:18 (24 views)

this argument is totally irrelevant... - Avantadrive_Original 2008-10-08 12:04:34 (28 views)

Drapes over the windows and doorways..... - freakness 2008-10-08 14:26:32 (21 views)

i'm past that - been using a projector for weeks on my wall, and i love it. - Avantadrive_Original 2008-10-06 14:16:20 (29 views)

Good screens cost a lot more money.... - freakness AvalonMEH 2008-10-05 08:14:37 (70 views)

how does something like that compare with screen goo? - Avantadrive_Original 2008-10-06 10:40:44 (27 views)

Light grey will boost contrast a bit but the GOO stuff will enhance the "punch" since it's able to - freakness AvalonRULZ 2008-10-06 20:12:58 (23 views)

2nd. Use a very light silver, almost white color in eggshell finish - 4Rings::resurrected 2008-10-06 05:58:07 (41 views)

I've always had in mind to mix 50/50 a quart of flat and a quart of eggshell... - freakness AvalonRULZ 2008-10-06 09:45:36 (30 views)

actually now that I think about it it wasn't eggshell, i was pearl finish I think - 4Rings::resurrected 2008-10-06 12:34:12 (32 views)

Some people say it's the same, others say it's more sheen or less sheen... - freakness AvalonRULZ 2008-10-06 20:09:01 (28 views)

Can you clarify again which kind of paint? - Avantadrive_Original 2008-10-21 14:52:44 (16 views)

a black frame around a painted screen will go a long way towards improving the perceived contrast - 4Rings::resurrected 2008-10-22 05:36:58 (13 views)

cool, but what type of paint exactly? eggshell? flat? mix? - Avantadrive_Original 2008-10-22 19:05:18 (13 views)

I believe the one I used was called pearl. Get some finish samples, hang them on the wall and shine - 4Rings::resurrected 2008-10-23 05:31:04 (13 views)
