Title: Projector Screen : Recommendations please
Post by: maldita on Feb 08, 2002 at 03:39 AM: hi guys! I've been looking for that cloth that is best used for a projection screen but can't seem to find it! Actually I remember its what Neo used in the screen during the last Pinoydvd party...I think its called a Blackout cloth or something. It's used behind curtains to absorb the light and all that. Anyone know where to find this? ;)

Post by: levi on Feb 08, 2002 at 09:05 AM: How about Shell Canvass or in Kamuning.
Title: Re: projection screen
Post by: neo on Feb 09, 2002 at 06:24 AM: maldita,

Yup, it is called Blockout Fabric (used for lining drapes) and Shell Canvas Kamuning has it in stock. They also have a branch in Glorietta (not sure where) but they don't stock it there so it has to be pre-ordered.

The fabric comes in widths of 54 inches (max) and I believe the price is P300 or P500 per yard (can't remember eh...just call them na lang). And when you buy the fabric, make sure they roll carefully it as it creases very easily.

Let me know when you're ready to build the screen. I'll tell you how you (este si joeypogi pala ;D) can make the frame for it...unless of course you just want to "duct tape" it to the wall like we did during the 2nd Marathon ;D.

alfred,

Shell Canvas is not exactly in Kamuning. It's actually along EDSA near Kamuning/Kamias. Coming from Cubao, it should be a few shops before you reach the EDSA-Kamuning/Kamias corner where the 7-11 Store is situated...kahanay nang Wendy's and the FF Cruz Bldg.

Post by: striderhiryu1 on Mar 21, 2002 at 05:43 PM: Neo - can you share info or link on how to make a cheap FPTV screen. I just bought a 16:9 (WSVGA only)LCD FPTV from Panasonic and I don't want to break the bank to buy the screen just yet. BTW, do you visit avsforum?
Title: Re:projection screen
Post by: neo on Mar 26, 2002 at 10:32 PM: Yo striderhiryu1,

I once found a website where someone documented his DIY screen project with very clear, simple and easy to follow procedures. Unfortunately, the website does not exist anymore.

However, I managed to save the particular web page on my computer and I can email it to you if you wish, including the pics. Just PM your email address to me if you're interested.

BTW, what Panasonic projector are you using? Is it the PT-AE100? Where did you buy it and for how much?

Cheers - Neo 8)

P.S. Yup, I'm also a member of the AVS Forum.
Title: Re:projection screen
Post by: striderhiryu1 on Mar 27, 2002 at 12:44 PM: Yes, its the PT-AE100 (though the Japanese version is called TH-AE100). I bought it locally in Japan for Jpy168,000 + 5% tax. Looks great temporarily projected on a white cloth. I've been reading some of the stuff in screens forum of avs but looks like I will need a real screen eventually.

You can order the pj directly from pricejapan.com but local customs charges might be prohibitive.

I'm current using a Athlon XP 1700 + Radeon 7500 to play dvds and the AE-100 looks amazing for the price.

pls. email at [email protected].

Thanks in advance!
Title: Re:projection screen
Post by: striderhiryu1 on Mar 31, 2002 at 10:51 PM: Neo - thanks a lot! I received the DIY screen pics. I'll see if I can make them myself (I'm such a poor craftsman when it comes to this stuff). My wife already approved purchase of a true screen but I have to wait a few months more.... :)

http://members.shaw.ca/danhanson/Theater/screen/screenproject.htm

And to Daniel, sorry I could not reply directly, I have tried using a Progressive scan DVD only (Pioneer DV-737) with the AE-100 and its acceptable but the picture really sings with the Radeon HTPC and so I'm dealing the complexities of an HTPC (I'm also using dscaler for other NTSC stuff so the HTPC is well worth it).

My only other experience is with the Sony W11HT (extensive viewing in a HT environment) and I must say that AE100 + HTPC (with FL-W filter, still trying to find the FL-D) is at least equal to PS dvd + 11HT (with CC30R filter). Of course with HDTV, the Sony beat the AE-100 hands down.

Good luck
Title: Re:projection screen
Post by: neo on Apr 01, 2002 at 09:51 AM: striderhiryu1,

Looks like you found the actual link to the website I was referring to...I had it bookmarked before but the address was different then.

Anyway, good luck on your screen project. If what you need is just a temporary screen, you can mount the fabric directly to the wall using duct tape and just use styrofoam strips (painted black or wrapped in black felt paper) for your border. This is exactly what we did for the 2nd Marathon and it worked perfectly.

As for your purchase of a standard screen, you're very lucky to have a very understanding wife (he-he-he).

Keep in touch.

Post by: arcam on Apr 03, 2002 at 12:12 AM: strider,

using the pioneer 737 dvd player with component inputs into the ae-100, would the picture be better than say a toshiba rptv?

would there be more screendoor effect using the pioneer 737 with component inputs as compared to the htpc?

how many % improvement would you say the htpc picture was over the pioneer 737 and component inputs into the ae-100.

sorry to bug you with all these questions but i'm seriously considering buying the ae100 from pricejapan without demo-ing.

thanks
Title: Re:projection screen
Post by: striderhiryu1 on Apr 04, 2002 at 05:44 PM: arcam - I'm not sure if any LCD projector can be compared to a properly calibrated Toshiba RPTV (i.e. the ones with 7" CRT/ 16:9 display), the only advantage of the AE100 is the picture size.

What I can only confirm is that the AE100 combined with a Radeon HTPC will give other FPTV a run for their money (picture quality wise).

Some people have reported favorable results with the Panasonic RP-91 or RP-56 progressive scan dvd players but I think in theory, the dvd players with VGA out (i.e. Skyworth 1050p or the Nintaus - all availaible in www.hivizone.com) will give more favorable results.

The screendoor is there regardless of what source you use but a slight defocus makes it negligible (almost unnoticeable in actual viewing). The FL-D or FL-W filter also helps reduce screen door while removing the greencast inherent in the AE-100 (due to UHM lamp).

I'll be concerned with buying from overseas since you might end up with dead pixels and this is annoying esp. if you know where it is (my first AE-100 have about 3 grouped stuck on blue pixel and the shop where I bought it from replaced the unit). My current AE-100 has no more dead pixel.

In terms of % improvement, I think HTPC is about 10-15% better (noticeable in SW TPM, American Beauty, Moulin Rouge) plus you can tweak the HTPC picture more (I'm using zoom player 2.5). The improvements are better blacks and punchier colors.

Oh and the lamps are super cheap compared to 11HT (around 20,000 yen compared to 50,000 yen for the Sony Lamp). Good value if the 5000 hour in economy mode is true. I hope to buy a 3-chip DLP after the AE-100 (o baka kasing presyo na lang ng AE-1000 young Sharp 9000 by that time). Hehehe. Sana may trabaho pa ako nun.

Title: Re:projection screen
Post by: arcam on Apr 15, 2002 at 12:18 AM: strider,

the AE-100 is sold locally pala. i managed to get a demo in my place last week. since i didnt have a screen, the demo people were kind enough to bring a 60 X 60 tripod screen.

we used my pioneer 535 interlaced dvd player with component inputs into the AE-100. i also demo-ed the Plus Piano HE-3100 dlp projector on the same day using the same dvd player and component inputs also.

my observations with the AE-100 based on the above:
- colors were rich
- dark scenes were not very good. a lot of detail is lost
- i can see screen door at 12 ft away and the screen width was 75 inches. however, on the 2nd demo (after switching projectors), it was much less visible. i'm not sure if it was accidentally defocused.

compared to the Plus Piano:
- AE-100 colors were less sharp although i would be very happy with the AE-100 colors as it is.
- AE-100 dark scenes were too malayo from the detail available on the Plus Piano. i think i would not be able to live with this projector because of it's limitations on this area.

HOWEVER.....

i've been following the AVS Forum and apparently, the potential of the AE-100 will be unlocked by using the VGA input and setting to WIDE mode. please correct me if i am wrong....

questions:
- if i use something like a DVDO Iscan the use a VGA cable from the ISCAN into the AE-100 to get to the WIDE mode, will the detail and blacks on the dark scenes improve significantly?
- will the screendoor decrease if i use the above?
- any other tweaks to get the most out of the AE-100?

i'm trying to get the most out of the AE-100 because it's cheaper and has a longer lamp life than the Plus.

regards,

arcam
Title: Re:projection screen
Post by: striderhiryu1 on Apr 15, 2002 at 12:22 AM: Have not tried the iscan but if its performance is closer to a HTPC (using wide480) you'll get a much better picture. My experience with standalone dvd player was similar to what you observed (washed out colors). How much was the local price for the Plus Piano and AE-100 and where.

BTW, you also must have total light control and and FL-D filter (or similar) to get better blacks/minimize screendoor further.

If deeper blacks are your main concern, the Plus might be a better buy.
Title: Re:projection screen
Post by: jojitb on Apr 15, 2002 at 11:19 AM: arcam
like striderhiryu1 I would like to ask what is the local pricing for the AE100? Is it cheaper than the USD$1400 as quoted in pricejapan?
Title: Re:projection screen
Post by: arcam on Apr 16, 2002 at 12:21 AM: strider,

deep blacks are important but not the primary deciding factor. however, even if i did not look at the Plus, i would still not be happy with the blacks on the AE-100 as per last week's demo.

what is the FL-D filter? where do i get it and how much is it?

on the "defocusing" to reduce screen door.... how do i do this? if you adjust the zoom lens on the AE-100, doesn't it effectively reduce or enlarge the picture? how do i defocus it properly?

you do not get washed out blacks anymore using your HTPC?

strider, jojitb,
the AE-100 is available from a company called EPMC. they're selling it for 98,000 pesos. i think that is the SRP from Panasonic Philippines. the Plus Piano is 190,000 from Listening in Style.

Title: Re:projection screen
Post by: striderhiryu1 on Apr 16, 2002 at 10:48 PM: The FL-D means flourescent to daylight filter (its a color compensating filter). The UHM lamp in AE100 (as with other LCD or DLP projector) lacks the red color (or put another way have excess green and blue). Without an FL-D filter a typical R-G-B setting for AE-100 is (+)10 for red,
(-)6 for green and (-)4 for blue. To get a more dynamic image, you must be able to crank up green and blue - but this will give you a greenish/bluish picture (kasi nga kulang na sa red ang lamp).

The FL-D filter removes most of green and blue but allows most of the red color to pass allowing you to crank up the green and blue color without imparting a greenish/bluish tint.

I'm also new to this and but you can find lots of info in AVS on filters (this link should get you started).

http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?s=918d8804a29158355de691212be7c252&threadid=108699&highlight=panasonic+filters

I'm not sure if camera shops in RP have this. The 55mm glass filters available here in Japan cost about $10-15. If you can't find one and decide to buy a digital projector, let me know because I'll be on a one week vacation sa 'Pinas and maybe I can bring an extra FL-D filter (last week of April-1st week of May)

Mukhang MSRP ang presyong ibinigay sa iyo. I don't think the extra Php92,000 is worth it for the Plus Piano. Better wait for the next generation of DLPs to come.

De-focusing will not enlarge or reduce the picture. There is a separate thread for zoom.

I have a separate 16:9 CRT HDTV (Sony 36HDF9) and I'm also pretty sensitve to black level but the HTPC and AE-100 + filter definitely gives acceptable blacks (I only use the projector in a completely light controlled room)

thanks for the settings tips on the AE-100. i'll definitely try them out on the next demo. if i end up buying the AE-100, i'll ask for your help if i cant get the FL-D filter :)

actually the Plus Piano is being sold to me for 190,000 without tawad pa but i think the price will not deviate far.

Post by: arcam on Apr 23, 2002 at 11:41 PM: strider,

neo was kind enough to bring his lt150 and iscan to my place and help me choose projectors. i was very impressed with his lt150 + iscan. the only thing is, i see rainbows very easily.

we also ran my interlaced dvd player into his iscan and used vga into the AE-100. neo calibrated the ae-100 and the blacks were better than when i demo-ed the ae-100 before. whereas before i could not live with the blacks, now i very much can. the only problem now is the screendoor. we were sitting 13ft away (which is too far already considering the room size) and using a 85 inch wide screen. distance is roughly 1.8x. if the picture has any "sky" in it, i can readily see the screendoor. defocusing decreases it slightly although the skies still look dirty because of the screendoor. if there is a screen with 3/4 of the screen filled with a building and 1/4 of the screen filled with sky, i would not see the screendoor on the building but would readily see it on the sky.

how have you managed the screendoor effect on your ae-100? how wide is your screen and how far away do you sit?
Title: Re:projection screen
Post by: striderhiryu1 on Apr 24, 2002 at 06:08 PM: LT-150 is a great projector. I heard from avs that further modification of the LT-150 caan increase contrast ratio by a whopping 1500:1 (AE-100 is 500:1 at best).

Have you tried the FL-D filter? This somewhat minimizes screen door (though minimized brightness a bit). I assume you set-up the AE-100 to wide480 after connecting the iscan. I have a 2 meter wide screen and I sit about 12 ft away and screendoor is negligible in my set-up.

If after slight defocus, FL-D , iscan (make sure you recalibrate) and you're still not satisfied with the screendoor, the next best thing might be an HTPC (you can try wide720P - significantly reduces screendoor but slighly softer picture).
Title: Re:projection screen
Post by: neo on Apr 24, 2002 at 08:42 PM: strider,

Yup, arcam and I were running the AE-100 at the 480wide setting when we hooked it up to the iScan. I personally think the AE-100 is a great projector, especially for it's price. Once properly calibrated and fed a progressive signal, color saturation was excellent, the image was artifact free and the blacks were quite acceptable...although contrast could probably be improved further by using the FL-D filter and minimizing ambient light reflections (too bad arcam has some really nice looking pastel colored wall paper ;D).

Screen door was not noticeable during dark and color saturated scenes but was quite evident (but not objectionable) during bright scenes. We were using a DIY blockout fabric screen and I was wondering if using another type of screen would help minimize this effect.

As for the FL-D filter, would you know if this could improve the blacks of the LT-150? I haven't been following the recent threads at AVS so I really don't know if this projector/filter combo has been tried by the other members. Please give me your feedback...I might request you to buy one for me if this filter could improve the LT150's blacks. Also, how is the filter mounted to the projector's lens? Are you using a special mount?

Regarding the LT-150 mods you mentioned, are these add-ons or physical modifications? I'm not sure I have the smarts to tamper with the color wheel or input a new gamma curve. And shipping my pj to the AVS whiz kids for an overhaul is out of the question ;D.

Cheers - Neo 8)
Title: Re:projection screen
Post by: striderhiryu1 on Apr 25, 2002 at 12:10 AM: Definitely try the FL-D filter for your LT-150 since as I've said previously, this trick will allow you to crank up your Green and Blue settings and will result in a more dynamic picture/improve contrast ratio.

I will be home only only for 1 wk and leaving tomorrow so baka hindi na ako makadaan sa camera shop. Ano ang thread size ng LT-150. The closest for the AE-100 was 55 mm so kung kasya eto, 'yun na lang dalhin ko.
Title: Re:projection screen
Post by: neo on Apr 25, 2002 at 12:55 AM: strider,

Are you saying that you mounted the filter directly to the front of the lens of the AE-100 (as in a UV filter for an SLR camera)? The LT-150 doesn't have a threaded lens so this kind of attachment won't work.

The only solution would probably be to use the filter as a glass cap for the lens port of a hushbox. I was intending to build one but the project got sidetracked. At any rate, I will probably need a filter diameter larger than 55mm.

Anyway, thank you na lang. Hanap muna ako dito sa Manila (not sure if Cokin has an FL-D filter). Kung wala, maybe on your next trip na lang.

Yes! Cokin also makes filters/accessories so dapat meron sila. The filter is the same ones you use for SLRs thats why its such a cheap tweak. My impression from reading avs is that almost all LT-150 users use FL-D (brand is Hoya)

Some put it directly in front of LT-150 and angled a bit to minimize reflection going back into the LT-150 lens. Make sure you get the multicoated version since they allow more light to pass hence

You can find the profile of FL-D here

Post by: striderhiryu1 on May 07, 2002 at 10:20 PM: arcam - you're in luck if you still want to try the FL-D trick - the filter is available locally - in Canon service center in SM Megamall (5th floor, near Upscale Audio)

Kaya lang ay 58 mm lang ang available na size (should fit outside thread of AE-100). Price is around Php1,100 bucks.

You can also try the SM Appliance center in Rockwell Powerplant (but they don't stock FL-Daylight filter - but they can order this for you).

You're probably better off buying locally if you do want the AE100. Buying and shipping from Japan might be cheaper but might be a bigger headache in case you want a replacement unit because of dead pixels.

You'll also want to begin thinking about a masking system for the screen. I use two pieces of plywood covered with black felt, strung together with a pulley system.

odyopayl are you asking kung available stewart screen kay all visual or available dito sa metro manila? sa all visual when i bougth mine wala pa sila stewart although im not sure kung carry na nila now,my friend told me before na stewart and dalite ang medyo naglalaban sa screen pero di hamak na mas mura yung dalite kaya mas common sya. Stewart offered to me before by LISTENING group.

Post by: MAtZTER on Dec 10, 2005 at 02:21 PM: I installed the Panny 900 last night with the 84" screen and watched with some guests last night. Nobody complained about any dizziness or if the image was too big. It was just right at 3.5 meters distance from the screen. I think this is due to the AE900's higher resolution so you can watch it closer without noticing pixels or getting dizziness.

Post by: alfa on Feb 25, 2006 at 02:01 PM: I'm planning on buying a front projector (the brand ? that's another story as the gremlins are still debating in my head) In one of the stores the salesman offerrred to sell me a motorized screen. Its China or Taiwan made and its supposed to be glass beaded or something. The price is very competitive as for the same size as a manual pulldown screen i can get a motorized screen.

Any expiriences on this screen> I just know that there's some glass on the screen.
Thanks for your comments and observations.

Very interesting, kasi there's one projection screen treatment developed in Australia that uses opal (or opal-like) powder and it received high acclaims. Just google "opal projection screens".

Cheers!
Title: Re: Glass Bead projector screen
Post by: alvinthx2 on Feb 26, 2006 at 09:39 AM: be careful with glass beaded screens, they tend to have hotspots at the center. projectors are quite powerful today especially if you use them in a well darkened room. a gain of 1.0 to 1.5 is sufficient. beaded screens are very bright indeed. another thing is that they tend to decrease the viewing angle(non uniformity of brightness from side to side)

They have the expensive brand (Da-lite) but they carry the cheaper one, too. I think it's Vega(?). And it costs almost half the price. They have different sizes and types.

They are very accommodating and pleasant to talk to. They are located at 3/F Farmers Plaza, Araneta Center. Phone 9110904. Look for Grace Avelino. :)

Have an H27 and the ceiling mount for this model is terribly expensive. I bought this speaker wall mount in Ortigas Home Depot for P400.00. Angles can be adjusted by a twist of a knob. Label says it can hold 10 kg. I made a triangle adapter to fit the projector to the mount. The hard part is the finding the m2.5 x 16 screws... I found this at Lil's hobby shop in mega - store that sells rc helicompters.

Post by: ericag_ph on Jan 03, 2007 at 01:05 PM: Last I checked, nothing larger than 100" -and- 16:9 format is available locally... that's why I had to build my own to get the maximum size that I could get for the room.... You may want to reconsider projecting at 170" (test mo muna)...projector might not even be bright enough to be able to do so properly at the quality you want. Many HT projectors optimally recommend 80", beyond that picture degradation follows. I project at 120" from a distance of 4 meters, totally dark, quality is still ok.

At around 90" 4:3, they were selling at P15K I think, can't remember anymore details. You may want to check the telephone directory under Audio-Visual equipment.

the reason why i said 100" to 170" is because ang nakalagay yata na maximum screen size na kaya ng projector is 180" ( i think). Please correct me if im wrong as im a newbie in this field. Do you think i should just get 80" ? I think malaki laki kasi yung wall namin and might handle mga 160 or 170. (or perhaps hindi ko lang alam kung gaano kalaki talaga yung 170") LOL.

I saw na kasi yung 80" and i think our wall can handle much much more than that one. How would i know kung ano yung optimal screen size the AE1000 can handle? I dont see one sa manual....

audibleillusion - our ceiling height is not that high. i have to measure it pa but i know its not that high as we can reach it if we jump.

guys can you give me yung top 3 brands available locally according to their quality. Is draper the best brand? followed by....xxx....xxx ?
Title: Re: Projector Screen : Recommendations please
Post by: ericag_ph on Jan 03, 2007 at 01:34 PM: Even if your wall is 45meters wide, you will still be limited by the height of your room (note, your screen's height might interfere with your center speaker placement). Project to the wall first, see the quality, based on that, measure what you think is best for the room....no point in getting a screen larger than what you really need or want.

No, I don't think you should just get 80", for the same reasons.

But if you can't get say a 150" screen locally, you will have to build one.

Title: Re: Projector Screen : Recommendations please
Post by: alvinthx2 on Jan 04, 2007 at 07:15 AM: Be very careful with the selection of screen size and material. The reason I did not get the ae1000 is its calibrated lumens is much below what I expected. The workaround is to have a high gain screen material. Do not just buy any of the screen available because you might end up with a screen which will not give you the WOW factor.

Consider the following:

Vutec silverstar(up to 140 inch)
Dalite High power(up to 120 inch
Draper M2500 (110 inch)

If you get the run of the mill screen especially the grey(high contrast) variety, 90 inches is your best bet , just to be safe.

You have to consider that your PJ may be bright at 0hr but after 200 to 300 hours, lumens output will drop by 30% or so. Getting a big screen is a bad idea with this PJ

This recommendation is true if you want accurate colors, PJ's can crank up their light output, but the resulting image color temperature will be bluish in the vicinity of 9000 to 11000 kelvin. Daylight (neutral) is 6504 Kelvin.
Title: Re: Projector Screen : Recommendations please
Post by: du1mij on Jan 04, 2007 at 11:27 PM: Hi, Joms. While it is certainly awesome to project the biggest image your projector is capable of doing, please keep in mind that the size of the screen is a factor of your viewing position, i.e., how far your first or optimum seat from the screen will be. If you have an overly large screen, it's like watching a tennis match at front row--you'd have to move your head (or at least your eyes) to see the whole picture. Not only is this silly, it's annoying and tiring. Ideally, you should be able to see the whole screen without moving your eyes, specially your head.

The prescribed screen height is 1/3 the distance from the best seat in the house. What I would suggest is that you plan your room layout first, measure the distance of the prime seat from the screen, then get the appropriately sized screen for your room dimensions.

Cosmotech distributes the Draper screens (look for Elsie Labrador). Da-Lite on the other hand is distributed by, believe it or, Multi-Island photo shop. Fret not because you can go to the Da-Lite website and initiate a chat with their customer service. They're very helpful.

'Hope this helps. ;D ;D ;D

Pre, the way we do it.. we turn on the projector, shoot it on the wall, then we move it backwards until you get the sweet spot. after that, measure the projected image on the wall.

Post by: alvinthx2 on Jan 18, 2007 at 03:16 PM: 120 to 140 would be your best bet, but as I have said previously,use a screen with lots of gain not the ordinary matte white material. You might not get acceptable contrast if the screen material is not factored into the theatre equation. But then, that is just me. :D

Wow, a room 5.3 meters wide and has a viewing distance of 6.3 meters??? :o :o :o Awesome! ;D

Anyway, with a 248-inch distance from the couch to the wall (and most likely the screen), 1/3 of that would be around 82.9 inches (height). I believe that the AE-1000 also has a 16:9 aspect ratio. So if your height alone is 82.9 inches, your width must be around 147 inches. That should give you a diagonal of around 169 inches. As alvinthx2 recommended, you can opt for a 140" screen and you should still be comfortable seeing the "whole picture".

One other thing I would like to suggest is that you go to Projector Central's website (or Panasonic's but PJ Central's is better) and use their calculator to determine the amoung of light that you would need, given the distance, the size of the screen, the zoom factor, screen gain, etc. From there you can confirm if your PJ and your dimensions are well within range.

Good luck! ;)

Ipinatong ko siya sa small cabinet(like a TV STAND but smaller) By trial and error we set up the height of the projector nakafocus sa screen. You can also adjust the distance of the stand to get an acceptable size and clarity of your screen picture. Mine is 4.5 meters away from the screen. The size of my screen is this: 57" height and 88 1/2" wide. Diagonal measurement is 101".(6 x 9 aspect ratio) That one is perfect for me as far as its clarity is concerned.Good luck!

Post by: mickmads on Jul 22, 2011 at 08:33 AM: I'm in the market for a motorized screen (preferably 106 inches) and I was wondering where I could buy affordable ones aside from sulit ads? The ones Ive seen from sulit are Viewtech and Dinon brands. Ok ba itong mga brands na ito? Roughly the same ang price ng both brands for a 106-incher (around 15k with remote)

Are tensioned motorized screens really much better in the long run? I noticed that they cost almost double of non-tensioned screens

Yes...
Non-tensioned retractable screens are very prone to wave forms in the long run.
I suggest getting a tensioned screen or better a fixed frame...

Post by: jambam on Jun 26, 2015 at 10:33 AM: For people thinking of a fixed screen , the Wisonart designer white laminate (formica) was quite popular at one time at AVS forums,

In fact I started with this as my screen , but my carpenters did not do a very good job ..

I found that they have stock at Multi Rich Home decor in Mandaluyong , I think about P3k ++ for the 10x5" feet which is a good price..

The 8x4 ft is less than 2 K

Post by: reynold on Sep 10, 2015 at 10:15 PM: Question lang mga brader...

What are the pros and cons between a manual pull down and a motorized projector screen aside from mas pogi at hitech tingnan ang motorized?

Durability, quality, installation challenges, which is phrone to lukot, etc... Hope you can help me, malaki din kasi ang difference e. Hope you can help me.

Thanks in Advance :)

Post by: megalomania on Sep 10, 2015 at 10:21 PM: When I was looking for a screen sir, pinagpilian ko din if motorized or not.
The price was the deciding factor for me. =)

Durability siguro hindi naman ganoon kalayo, basta maingat lang din sa manual pull and when returning it.

If you can work with a fixed screen that would best , maybe just use curtains to cover when not using it .. Over time the roll up/down mechanism may cause problems either in stowing or deploying the screen or in having warps and creases over time

I see, gusto ko rin sana yan kaso medyo may kamahalan ang fixed screen e...

Where did you get your fixed screen bro? What brand and how much? Madali lang ba ikarga sa sedan? Thanks.

Post by: jambam on Sep 12, 2015 at 09:15 PM: Bought it at amazon silver ticket 120in 16:9. around 16k landed cost when the dollar was lower.

The absence of waves or bumps in a screen makes a big difference for me , particularly during panning scenes
