yes, there's a certain level of snobbery... and there are people who are more interested in size than quality.

There's a reason movie theaters don't just paint a wall white and aim their projector at it. It would save them a lot of money if they could.

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)

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 (22 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 (12 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)
