Thread: Opinion on this projector screen?

Started 2 months ago by SicilianKing
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Projecta...&skuId=9439 422 I have always used the wall for my projector, but I heard I would get a much better picture if I got a screen. I noticed this one is pretty cheap, but are there must better ones out there? Would I truly notice a better picture with the more expensive screens?

I haven't heard of a Projecta Model B screen. I used a Da-Lite Model B pull-down screen for years and it worked great but it is difficult to completely smooth out any waves in a pull-down screen. I made one for myself 3 years ago to mount permanently on the wall and like it better. If you must use a pull-down, I am sure that one is fine. One concern is making sure you get the correct gain ...

I do not see any of these waves that you speak of?

Googling the screen a bit it seems to get good reviews but i see no gain listed on the stats. I also have used a da lite screen for years. I have tried a high gain grey screen as well but i wouldn't recommend a high gain screen.I'd keep it around 1.0 somewhere. I don't think the price for a screen matters as much as if it's power operated,pull down or fixed. Fixed gives you a better ...

I did not know that...I just tried to raise the screen for the first time..and it doesnt seem to go back in. Must be a trick to it or something...

So as long as I figure out how to put the screen up, and do it after each use, I should have no problem with the waves? I currently have the same model, but a 92" from Best Buy, that I will be taking back. I just have to figure out why it seems to difficult to put it back up. I did figure how to raise the screen back up. As soon as I figure out if that will solve any wave problems, I will ...

Three words: MAKE YOUR OWN! A custom-built screen tailor made for gain, black levels, and reflectivity will absolutely OWN any commerical offering under $800.

I've been very happy with this screen which I purchased recently. It's an Elite Screen - fixed frame. Price is very reasonable at only $376 on Amazon. They have other sizes than the 100" too, but this is the one I have. http://www.amazon.com/Elite-Screens-...dp/B000N3TZ S2/ __________________ Sharp XV15000 (1080p) DLP ...

There are any number of screens on the market and you can buy cheap ones to expensive ones as well as make one yourself. At the bottom of the barrel is the manual roll up screen. Spending more than about 100 bucks on this is a bad decision because they typically develop waves which become stunningly obvious in any 'pan' shots after about a year. In 10+ years of install ...
