Doc gandang PQ ng blackout cloth screen mo

Sir jerix,
I got the Blackout cloth in a textile store in divisoria...cost me around 300 yata.
Yup, PQ is great sa benQ it would be even better sa panny mo!

Anlinaw kahit SD no? Strength ng w100 yung color balance. i wish I can move farther away from the screen.

docelmo · « **Reply #66 on:** Jul 05, 2007 at 08:01 AM »

Yup! my BenQ is now at 200 lamp hours!!! yeah, with the 90" display the ideal
minimum viewing distance is 12ft!

Sir jerix, this was how my diy screen(carpenter-made)

was made...
-Blackout cloth 3yards lang..
-Using "3" 1 x 4 x 12 wood...this was made into a 85 x 49 frame
-Then using leftover 3/4" plywood made into triangular shape, placed on the 4 corners of the frame
for added stability.
-Placed the blakout cloth(on the front side) and fixed it by staple gun in an alternate manner keeping
a firm tension on the cloth to remove the creases.
-Then on top of the cloth, placed a 1 x 2 Moulded wood to frame the screen...
-for a final touch...painted the moulding black.

the frame looked exactly like this from the back...

Ayus! theater na talaga ang dating . . . ay, yung ticket booth mo sir nakalimutan mo kunan

Where did you get the 'flags' poster doc, care to share? The last time i went to O & Astro kasi they said na pull-out daw ng distributor lahat ng stocks, meron na ba uli?

docelmo · « **Reply #78 on:** Jul 25, 2007 at 07:23 AM »

Thanks!!!! Sirs Audiojunkie & frootloops!!!

Hehehe..yeah ticket booth and concession stand na lang kulang

Sir dts_es
Got the poster for free!!! Got it the same time i got the seats, it was part of a
theater that folded up....it was still stapled inside the "Coming Soon" Cabinet!
When i ask how much....they said sige "kunin mo na lang"!!!

dts-HD 3D · « **Reply #79 on:** Jul 25, 2007 at 10:06 PM »
