thanks sir LouPah sa settings

sa sharpness pala ako sumosobra
will test later pag salang ko ng NFL SUPERBOWL

ang ganda ng setup mo ingget ako saka nako mag setup pag nabuo na yung HT room namin dipa kasi tapos ang construction dito sa haws namin

[LouPah]

Thank you brader! Actually my HT set-up is five years ago na yan, and planing to renovate something but for now, upgrade muna into 1080p projector if the budget permits.

Yeah, masyadong mataas ang default sharpness ng projector nato, kaya babaan mo nalang para maganda ang skin tone ng mga tao sa movies.

Good luck with your newly constructed HT room.....ENJOY!

[qguy]

di ba 1080p yung LED 86c ?  How about the LED86+ ?

Saan ba sa specs makikita if 1080p ang projector ?

Bro, mag base ka sa native resolution. In this case, 1280x800 (from specs) or 1280x768 (as suggested by bro Lou). Pero lahat naman ng projectors even the 800x480 ones are capable of displaying 1080p signal. Sadly, sinasabi ng ibang sellers na 1080p for marketing that's why you always have to look at the native resolution indicated.

[qguy]

Gets ko na   so dapat sa next upgrade ko   Native resolution should be 1920 x 1080.

Tama bro.
Meanwhile, enjoy your LED86! Gusto ko rin nyan huhuhu

[LouPah]

di ba 1080p yung LED 86c ?  How about the LED86+ ?  NO! both LED 86c And 86+ have 1280x768 native reso.

Saan ba sa specs makikita if 1080p ang projector ?     Tama si brader larokulit, always look for the native resolution when your concern is about 1080p or 720p resolution on a projector.

Loupah,

Since 720p yung projector, may difference ba if my  file is 1080p vs 720p ?

[larokulit]

Since 720p yung projector, may difference ba if my  file is 1080p vs 720p ?

Since LCD projector sya with LED as light source, tingin ko ang behavior nya similar sa ibang LCD displays. Pag LCD kasi pinakamalinaw pag naka native mode. Like pag laptop resolution naka set sa native resolution ng monitor super linaw kasi 1:1 pixels.

So theoretically mas malinaw ang 720p na source file. Yung 1080p na file di siguro mapapansin ang difference lalo na kung walang texts. Ang problema puro theory ako kasi wala akong LED86 kaya hintay tayo ng first-hand experience sa owners.

Ok, good question!   As what I have seen with the image output, mas malinaw, mas smooth, mas solid at maganda ang color ng image if the file is 1080p. Since this projector is only 720p ida-downgrade nya ito to its native resolution which is 720p nga lang, pero mas maganda sya compared sa 720p na movie file.
The theory mention by brader larokulit is absolutely correct, but this will be applied to the player and the projector, meaning you have to set your movie player, ex: dvd player or laptop into 720p resolution para match sila ng native resolution ng projector. The difference between 1080p vs. 720p file is not that big, only if you go bigger than 90" image size, but if you used bluray rip 1080p files, you can see how good really true HD movie is.

[larokulit]

^thanks bro at nilinaw mo. Like!

All the time brader, basta makatulong lang.  Kumuha ka na rin, para marami na tayo.....

^Hanggang tingin pa rin ako bro, na-divert sa gulong yung funds ko huhu.

Decided to paint my White screen to flat grey with ater based na Boysen !!! 

Half a liter of paint for a 90 inch screen.

Flat Light Grey  Screen on a flat white wall


The effect is better contrast,  dark scenes looks a lot lot better !!!

Sample shots....

[qguy]

Nap roller,  a bit darker, pero negligible para sa akin. CONTRAST is awesome, will never go back to white screen. Para ako nag upgrade ng projector !!!

From what I read White screen is ok for perfectly dark rooms with dark walls, ceilings and floors. if you have a small amount of light and the walls is light colored, grey screen is the best.

if you do not want to risk damaging your screen, buy a light colored cartolina sa bookstore and tape it to your white screen and see the difference.  I used light brown as there was no light gray

[qguy]

White latex paint mix with black.  Actually any brand will do as long as its FLAT and has the right darkness. I will be in Discovery Suites tomorrow from 5 am to 1 PM, I can put a sample on a bond paper and you can get it to be used as a template for the paint mixer.

[crazyhog]

walang mixture na metallic?

[qguy]

None. Flat White and Flat black lang

walang mixture na metallic?

[qguy]

I thought its a pre-mix paint na, ttemplahin pa pala ito. so the mixture wil be mata-mata lang ba?

Yes, first attempt was too dark, so went back to the paint shop to add more white. Second attemp was perfect. now,  If the paint store has a color chart,  N8 yung code. wala  kasing N8 sa chart noong paint shop na pinutahan ko, so tyantahan method

[qguy]

If may color chart, no need for trial and error. use N8 or you can get a sample in  Paranque / Ortigas

Ok, thanks for the info, bali trial and error muna ang peg

[LouPah]

Actually, I built a DIY screen before a 4'x8' plywood, painted with metallic silver due to my low lumens projector before. Hinde ko cya nagustohan maybe I put a wrong color paint, kaya I bought a real projector screen, plain white nga lang.

 In my case ok na cguro ako sa white screen ko ngayun, because I have dark blue walls and controlled lighting environment.

You should have use the ff: (all can be bought at amazon)
Liquitex basics silver
Rustoleum Metallic Accents–White Pearl +
Flat white paint - water based
Satin finish - Neutral

I wouldnt recommend using flat white paint mixed with black tinting paint (to produce grey screen). During projection, colors are dull and whites will looked darker. 

If you have extra cash, add RGBY paints to your colorant:
Liquitex Basics - Napthol Crimson Red
Liquitex Basics - Phthalocyanine Green
Liquitex Basics - UltraMarine Blue
Liquitex Basics - Cadmium Yellow - Deep Hue

When colored light from your projector hits the mica of these colorants, it will add more pop to the colors. I have created several screen DIY projects for several years, nothing beats above combination.

Is there an equivalent paint mixture that is locally available ?
