Hi guys
I am planning to install a projector in the condo that we will be moving into by June. I will renovate the living room wall to accomodate a 100"-120" screen. Problem is, Listening in Style's biggest screen is 96". And most importantly, I would like to do away with the cost of the screen to increase the WAF (wife acceptance factor) of this project.
Stores would recommend that just a white wall would do. But I already notice the cloth texture of the projector screen during a demo at Listening in Style, ano pa kaya pag painted wall. I'm sure I would notice the paint specks. Even my wife disagrees with the painted wall.
I was thinking of formica or tarpauline for a DIY screen. Any tips from fellow members?
Thanks in advance!

try black light cloth, our good friend neo used that for his DIY projector screen used during the 2nd EB, the one held at Jardines. i think it's available at shell canvas.

Wow, black light cloth, sounds groovy.. :D. thanks voj! I will check that out sa Shell Canvass.
Anyway, I checked the price of formica, P380.00 per 4'x8' sheet. It will fit the screen. Wow, thats cheap....
I also checked sa Listening room Megamall, their projector screens are not that expensive pala. Its 8k for dripers brand and 6.5 k for viewtech brand. 84" x84" with a 96" diagonal viewing area at 16:9.
I thought it was 20k kasi ;D, pangbili din yun ng High Definition DVD player...

Mura na lang talaga yung screens, but you might not be happy with those. Try sending a PM to member jl2 - he used a Stewart high gain projector screen on his HT room - way over the 20k you mentioned. Also try sending a PM to neo, he is the original front projector guru here. He does not go online that much anymore but he does read his email - he can give you tips on the DIY. Most of the projector screen available on retail stores are square and is optimized for business presentations. I've been looking for a widescreen for the longest time pero wala. With DIY, you can actually make the projector screen exact. There are even tips on how to mask the projector image to handle various aspect ratios.

Thanks Voj! :D, I will try to PM Neo. But I dont think I would be interested in that 20k+ screen....
I tried to call Shell Canvass awhile ago but they dont have the black light cloth thingee. Other companies under the curtain section of the yellow pages dont have it as well.

Correction lang po, Blackout cloth po ang tawag not black light cloth.

ayun--- blackout cloth pala!! hehehe

I just called Shell Canvass, they have black out ;) cloth at P380.00/ yard x 54”. So 3 yards could make a 100” (diag) plus screen at P1140.00. Karpentero not included. This is cool!
Thanks for the info guys…
-
I asked another branch of Shell Canvass and the blackout cloth was priced at P280/ yard. Well, that makes it cheaper, but I think it would be harder to maintain bec. you need to wash it from time to time, unlike the roll up screens.
I tried to analyze the cloth but there doesnt seem to be anything very special about it. The salesperson said it just doenst let heat through.
-
bossing once nabuo mo na yung ht mo e post mo naman review mo sa diy screen vs dun sa draper/dalite na available sa shang. Iniisip ko kasi kung diy din ang gagawin ko e. ???
-
Medyo di pa nga nagstart yung renovation. Might take some more time.
Anyway, according to Panasonic projector calculator http://www.projectorsolution.com/calculator.asp?id=2606, a 100" diagonal screen would require 87" x 49".
With the low price of the black out cloth, as of now I was thinking maybe just sew velcro around it and have a carpenter constuct a simple frame with the other part of the velcro attached to it.
3 yards x 56" = P840.00

I did a DIY projector screen using marine plywood. For the paint, I had Ace Hardware mix it for me with the color (it is not pure white, pure white is not good for projector screen since you cannot project good black image on it) coming from a US HT forum with a huge discussion on DIY screen and screen coating. The outcome is better than my pj screen that came with my Infocus!
If I have to do it again, I will get a black out cloth and paint it using Ace paint!

Bro maybe i can help you buy a reasonably priced screen whether the FS format or the latest WS type. I bought the FS type but using it as a WS type, DALITE pa ang brand.Dont bother anymore with DIY kasi im sure sooner or later upgrade ka din in to something much much nicer. 0917 527 1059.
-
I just recently moved, I will look for the can.
I have DALITE and the blacks are not really blacks, I like my DIY better than the DALITE! It is good for office presentation but not that good on DVD playback. I have a friend who has a stewart screen and it looks very promising much better than most screens I have seen.

MAtZTER: sir, what's the latest on your DIY proj screen? completed na ba? can you post pics for people who want to go the same route? thanks!

Hehe renovation still ongoing.
I am almost twice over my projected budget allocation for the renovation. I did not expect labor costs to balloon to this much. The budget for the projector & the screen was eaten away ;D. So I have to shelf this project to another time , hopefully by the end of the year.
-
MAtZTER: gluck with the reno, parang palang mga IT projects, laging over budget hehehe... ok lang, by the time you have the funds for the pj and screen ull have better stuff to choose from
-
aside from the usual creme or white blackout cloth, i noticed shell has another type of blackout cloth, this one with parang made of a rubbery or leatherette type of material... gray ung other side, while sa other side you can choose from a variety of colors... it's much cheaper too, P150 lang per yard and doesnt look like it will be hard to maintain unlike blackout cloth na parang ang daling madumihan...
im not sure if its suitable for use as a projection screen though

planning to build my own screen, i'm on a very tight budget tsaka i can make 16:9s. wonder where to score black out cloth or MDF panels dito sa metro manila? pls point me in the right direction. Thanks!
if you guys have advice on how to build it, i would surely appreciate it!

I needed a large screen, so I built a 123" (diagonal 16:9) screen using Blackout (bought at Shell Canvas in Alabang Town Center).
I spent about P3000 for everything (cloth, wood, staple gun, mounting). Compaired to a wall (imperfections), the Blackout is fantastic. No one was selling a large 16:9 screen at that time so I had to build one.
I saw some instructions on the net on how to staple-gun the cloth into a wooden frame (google "canvas" "painting" "how to attach" something like that), I can't remember the URL. Basically,
you start/staple at middle, then its opposite. You start at the "middle" and work to the corners as evenly distributed as possible. Space the staple about 1" apart. The Blackout cloth will smoothen out on its own (assuming it has creases or folds in the middle when you bought it) so no need to iron it. Any dirt you can't remove won't be noticeable from the viewing distance. Remeber to use black cloth for the "frame" of the Blackout cloth. It improves the viewing. Choose the most white Blackout cloth.
In the future, you may want to paint the Blackout cloth, google special "paints" for DIY screens. I just use the Blackout cloth and will not bother painting it.
Example: Staple in this sequence: T2,B2,L2,R2,T1,B1,L3,R3,T3,B3,L1,R1, etc....
T1 T2 T3
L1| |R1
L2| |R2
L3| |R3
B1 B2 B3

thanks for the reply. do you have any idea whereelse i can buy blackout cloth here ortigas area or quezon city? what is the size of your screen (height/length)? thanks again
-
You have to go to Shell Canvas (any branch, I only know of the ATC branch, try calling a branch, then ask them for the other branches),
it's order today, then pick-up tomorrow. I don't know anyone else who knew what it was nor even knew if they had it (Blackout cloth).
Don't worry about folds or creases, they will go away in a few days after stretching&stapling the cloth to the frame,
but do ask them not to fold yours (just roll it). I even washed mine due to the dust.
You will love the staple gun (about P250).
For dimensions, I think mine is (viewable area) 61" height by 108" wide...giving me 123" diagonal (+/- 0.5 inches).
Best way to measure is to maximize/zoom project on the wall, once you fix your projector
(mine is the panasonic AE700, now 18 months old, ceiling mounted, about 4 meters away from screen).
Use component output (not DVI or HDMI) and get the largest area you can occupy. This will allow you to use the same screen for
all kinds of DVD aspect ratios (1.85? 2.35? non-anamorphic, etc...)
Give a material allowance of 3-4 inches on all sides, since the "allowance" cloth needs to be stapled on to the back of the frame (wrap with black cloth) and it will be non-viewable.
So basically, I bought the projector first, tried it on the wall for a few days, then decided a screen was absolutely necessary due to paint+imperfections on the wall (I compaired a piece of white bond paper and the wall, while projecting on both at the same time - big difference). In the future you can compaire a special paint blackout cloth with your non-painted blackout screen in this way.
-
when you staple the cloth, remember to stretch it as best you can without damaging it, so there is no slack from the other (opposite) side
-
please post some pics
-
ok...I think I'll post some pictures... :) I'll try to post it here...
You may also want to blackout your windows (or blackout the curtains)....
blinds and regular curtains will not be enough when watching daytime.
any light seeping through affects viewing pleasure.
I had to temporarily use double sided 3M to tape blackout cloth to the wall where light seeps in through the blinds.
the idea is to have an environment similar to a theater (no light).

Congrats eric on your DIY screen. Very much cheaper without compromising performance....
-
ok ah. just found out may shell canvass sa shangri la. eric, how much did you pay for your Blackout cloth? and i suppose you built your frame also. thanks for all the help.
-
I can't remember, maybe P600 per yard (cash has discount), but it was definitely around P3000-3500 at the most for everything (wood, blackout, staple gun,etc). I bought the wood at Home Depot ...the one in ortigas ave near meralco, I even asked them to cut it for me (so you need to give precise measurements). Then I used L bars and screwed them into the wood rather than hammer+nail them together.
You need to put some wooden support in the frame (don't just make a rectangle) to prevent it from twisting once you mount it (I didn't do this, so if I remove the speakers, the screen will twist a bit. I wrapped the black cloth into the wooden frame before connecting the frame together. Check if the staple gun you buy (about P250) will go through the wood...it should, but check just to be sure :)
Make sure the wood doesn't bend (it will if it is too thin)...so before you have them cut it, test it by holding it horizontally in the air...
The key, is correct/accurate measurements... the thickness of your frame should factor in, there are many DVD aspect ratios from 4:3 to 16:9 etc...so whatever image you project must fall into the viewing area.... mine fits perfectly :)
Good luck...and post some pictures when you're done :)

300 naman pala yung pure white na blackout.
-
Ah that's why it's cheaper ....54" width... Normally if you wanted 3 meters of that, they'll sell you 3 meters by 54" at xx pesos per meter (or yard)
I think the one I got is twice the usual width (108"), due to my requirements (I needed at minimum a 65" x 112" cloth to make a 61" x 108" viewable screen), so I think it was never "cut". I probably bought 3 meters (or 2.5m?) x 108" (and did not use the excess).
Giving me a 162" (or 135") x 108" piece of cloth... reorient (rotate) the cloth, and you have the 65" x 112" you need.
!! You can use the excess to test (practice ka muna) how strong the cloth is when stapling and stretching it (pero don't over stretch, just pull until no slack).
To them it was an unusual size for the cloth.
It depends on the size, but I really can't remember na.
I should also mention, once the Blackout cloth becomes your 16:9 screen, take care of it.
Adhesive tape left on the cloth (like my temporary Blackout curtains) can pull out the Blackout material (didikit), destroying it's Blackout properties.

Is PANAFLEX a good material for a DIY projector screen. I want to get one that can be assembled to a 10 ft by 10 ft screen. I'm might try to build one since the cost of a a screen this size is almost P50,000.00 and I need it for my business.
Blackout cloth will do but I don't know if they have it at these sizes.
The P50,000 screens come in folded with frames and stand that need to be assembled. I don't know if the creases are visible once unfolded and stretched to the frame.
Do you think the quality will be acceptable? Thanks

can this blackout cloth be used as a double on the curtains of windows to further darken the room? how effective is this cloth to block the light coming from the outside? TIA

if you use blackout cloth, walang tatagos na liwanag sa cloth. kasi walang holes yung cloth.

Don't know about panaflex... most DIY I have seen uses blackout cloth.
Your second problem is if the projector you will use can project to that size and still be good in picture quality/brightness. Small HT projectors, including mine suggest only up to 80" diag.
Your third problem is your projection distance...do you have enough room to project to that size? Depending on the projector you have, they normally have calculators online, on how large your image can be given a distance.
If you use Blackout, I can tell you that the folds/creases won't go away in a few hours/a day unless it is being stretched.

Yes, its what I use to darken the room... no light gets through at all... but...problem is that light still passes through at the edge of the blackout cloth, even if well beyond the window. I have to tape the cloth edges to the wall...
I haven't found a better solution...

Sir you might want to use VELCRO on all sides to really seal out the lights :)

hello ricky,
how do you attach the velcro on the surfaces of the cloth and on the wall? are the velcro outer
surfaces equipped with adhesives? TIA.
-
I've tried velcro... they don't stick (adhesive) too well to the blackout cloth...
they stick more to each other. so they'll come-off the walls and take paint, and even the blackout cloth material with them.
oh, any adhesive material (tape, velcro) you put on the blackout cloth, will tear off/damage the blackout material if you try to remove it.
I might have to go with some kind of clip or snap-on button....

When I bought my black out cloth at shelll canvass I requested the salesgirl if i can have the velcro(bought from them also) attached to it with a wink and 100bucks ;D Yung Velcro which comes in assorted colors like white, black and brown has two parts di ba, The plastic side and the cloth side.Yung cloth side has been sewn to the black out cloth while yung plastic portion naman since matigas sya I used rubber cement(rugby) to attached to the wall(syempre yung wall dapat may rugby din na manipis para strong ang bonding) ;D I choose the brown color para hindi halata when i removed the black out cloth ;) hope this helps :)

How about plywood painted white then bordered with black velveeten?

No problem bro,anytime. Sir eric you might want to try it out too,just make sure that you apply rubber cement correctly for strong bonding otherwise instead yung velcro ang mghiwalay eh yung wall ang bumitaw ;D
-
Thanks for that... I'll probably go for it when my permanent curtains are installed... they'll likely have blackout cloth on the other side...

Was able to source out a cheaper alternative to darken the room, it is the cloth used to make bags. Cloth on one side and a shiny leather type (waterproof) on the other side.
It cost me only 2K for 2 big panels (2mx3m & 2mx2m) of windows :). I used BluTack adhesives between the cloth and the wall as fasteners on the sides. Works very well, wala din tagos ng liwanag ;).

im setting up a small (48 inch wide) screen in the bedroom and i have some questions:
- do the black borders help? (the projection is 16:9 native aspect ratio)
- what does a high gain screen mean?
- what should the surface be, glossy (reflective) or matte?
thanks

Blackborders helps control the spillover image from being seen as well as making the image square if the is some pincushion in the image.
High gain means that it will multiply the projector lumen's value by the gain factor. Say a daylite high power has a gain factor of 2.8, then if you have a gain of 1.0 for a matte white screen, this screen will increase the brightness level by 2.8.
You could get away with a matte white screen because the screen is quite small. Any descent PJ can have adequate light output with that screen size
-
thanks Sir - so its not recommendable to paint it a glossy white finish? will that increase the "brightness" for when te room is not completely darkened?
-
I am not sure about this but there is a screen paint material called "Goo screen paint system". I am not sure if it is available in the Philippines. If I were to do it, I would try a neutral paint first (not flat and not glossy), you can always paint over it if you need to change it. For the black borders it should be flat black to minimize reflections.
-
Bro what is a neutral paint?
I used a white flat wall paint for my 4' x 8' plywood DIY screen and it seems to be fine. This weekend i will paint half of the screen with light gray color just to compare it with the white. ;D

how about sticking it to a plywood using rugby? would that work?

I attached mine in a plywood by stapling it. It is easier to detach. ;)

What material do you usually use for the black borders?
-
mostly say black velveteen fabric is the best for unwanted spills of light coming from the pj.

I used black felt paper ;)
My DIY screen is 8'x4'.. in the beginning the experience and thrill of watching in a very big screen is wonderful. But after sometime, we all agreed to reduce it down to about 2.5'w x 5'.. its better for the eyes and the picture looks sharper ;D

I agree with you bro! I've learned that even if your pj can project such a large display at a short distance, somehow in this aspect I tend to disagree that bigger is better. You still have to consider your viewing distance. Remember in movie theaters that the front seat is the worst seat. You have the biggest screen in front of you but your vision is just limited to the center missing out details on the sides.
I started measuring the maximum screen size that my front wall can accomodate but somehow 80" diagonal is too big for my 9 feet viewing distance. Baka sumakit lang ulo ko sa laki. So I am now settling for a 75" diagonal 16:9 DIY screen. ;D

screen size x 1.4 = ideal viewing distance (formula ive often seen in avsforum).
so your 75 inches is just right for your viewing distance of 108 inches (9ft). :)

Sir, based on your formula, 80 inches is still ok. 80" x 1.4= 112" or 9.333 feet.
I thought all the while viewing distance is 2.5x diagonal screensize (?)

with an 8'x4' plywood screen and an adjustable black border also made of plywood covered with felt paper measurements ideal or not is no longer my concern ;D adjustment is so easy with the ax100. For demo purposes, my son set it the biggest projection possible so he is always happy listening to all the complements from his classmates. hehehe but for serious viewing the size is significantly reduced. Also the audio level goes with the size of the screen.
-
With the way fixed framed screens are priced, I decided to go the DIY route (or let the carpenter do it route). Ive already purchased a screen material from ebay, and prepared the necessary materials. kiln dried wood 1x4 and black velvet fabric. im planning to have a 104inch 16x9 screen. :)
-
Did also a DIY 80" 16:9 screen using blackout cloth stapled on plywood w/ additional bracings at the back. I used black duct tape for the borders. Total cost P1200.

medyo napa mahal sa akin, nag import kasi ako ng screen material from ebay. Gain 1.2, 104in diagonal. wala pa 5k cost, but im pretty satisfied with the way screen was built. Carada fixed frame will cost around 25-30k same size.... ;D ;D
-
Well if you can get the same quality for a fraction of the cost of the commercial one, why not?. Making DIY projection screens are more practical and flexible that would suit your exact measurements. Not all rooms have the same size, configuration and viewing distances.
I'm happy with my new screen. Will post pics later....

Gorgeous looking screen there Munskie! Great job!
I hope you can share with us a breakdown of the materials you used (with prices sana) and a step by step guide on how you did it.

Is that the black-out cloth from Shell? How did you hang it sa wall?

Nice job marv and nerveblocker ;) If you have a dedicated viewing area,its really advisable to make fix screen kasi wala creases unlike the roll up type na over time will develop waves sa screen. Although hindi halata while viewing still its bothersome pa din :( mahal pa :( :(

Yup blackout cloth (P240/yard) from Shell Canvas as per recommendation of our screen DIY'ers here. The whole assembly isn't as heavy as it seems. I used an inverted "u" type of hook, the ones they use in picture frames or plaques only at the top corners and just drilled 2 screws in the wall. No need for support at the bottom of the screen.
I was just wondering how to clean the screen if it gets dirty thru time. :-\

just search for projector screen material, wala kasi brand, though they have a website, http://www.buildyourownprojectionscreen.com/ (http://www.buildyourownprojectionscreen.com/) . The good thing, the screen material will be shipped rolled, not folded. ;)

same question din ako dito... but i guess when our diy screen gets dirty, sayonara na ata ito ???
here is my diy screen:
106 diagonal, 3.5 yards / 60 width of blackout cloth na dual color (black on one side, white on the other) and 3.5 yards / 45 width thick black cotton cloth both from bloomingdales shang.
1x4x10 good lumber (3pcs) from federal hardware.
mahirap din itong diy na ito. sakit sa kamay

yep. around 3k shipped yung screen material. and another 2k for labor and other materials (kiln fried wood, velvet fabric). The screen can be cleaned with mild soap and water. the catch, diko pa ma judge performance, dahil matgal tagal pa bago ko magagamit... :)

marsman, nice adjustment ginawa mo. did it improve the viewing experience compared to when it was higher?

malaking bagay yung tip mo chief, thanks. mas clear from the 1st row seating kesa dati mataas and hindi nakakangawit sa leeg.
mura na yung nabili mo sa ebay. sige tingin ako mya ng pwede pamalit ko sa blackout cloth ko.
many thanks Munskie

Guys, update naman dyan sa mga screen nyo please...
Blackout cloth pa din ba ang patok? kung gray paint naman, ilang % ng black?
salamat. ;)
-
Mine i just employed trial and error. -- that is from pure white flatwall to the darkest gray possible. I painted half side of the plywood white flatwall then the other side light gray. After testing it out and learning that the light gray was better, i now painted the white side with darker shade of gray -- and so forth. -- i retained the best shade and yun na ang ginamit ko. ;D
-
Just noticed that my 100 inch DIY screen using blackout cloth sagged a little on some parts when I left it unused for some time. I didn't experience this on my 80 inch DIY screen. But if I use the projector, the sags just disappear and flatten out again. Any of you guys experience this?
-
I fastened my DIY SCREEN on a piece of 8 x 4 plywood using stappler and masking tapes. I also braced it with 2" x 2cm flat bar. so far it is still tight until now. When i was painting the screen, it sagged heavily so while it was still wet i pulled from all sides and fastened it with masking tape, after which I attached the bracing. I noticed that as it dried up the vinyl screen tightened nicely.
-
bump!
question?, what the ideal height for a screen, my viewing distance is 9 ft and i have chosen a 80" 16:9 screen. i cant find any answer from the net regarding this, its always about screen size and viewing distance. so how high or low should i set the screen?
thanks! :)

1/3 screen height below your eye level

Mga Bros wag na kayo mag DIY, I have limited stock of WHITE MOTORIZED 92" screen at a very affordable price ;) pinull-out ko lang sa isa client ko, hindi makabayad eh :( :( :( details below:
Screen size is 92" diagonal Glass beaded with GAIN 2.0
Total width = 212 cm
Total height = 165 cm, including drop
viewable ht x wd = 114cm x 203cm.
Defect: there are paint imperfections on the "drop". there is NO problem at all with the viewable area. You can choose not to extend the drop so the imperfections will not be visible.
Apparently this problem is common to glass beaded screens. You can also spray paint the casing if you want it in black or any other color you like to match your room ambience :-* (Acrylic epoxy spray paint only 150pesos)
-
Bro-- price? and kindly post some pics please ;)

Just recently tested the TARPAULIN. The color of projected image was good but very shiny and the hotspotting was obvious.
To subdue the reflection, I painted it with plain white flat latex. The paint refused to stick on the TARPU with the roller so I used a brush, though the roller had become convenient during the second coating. The paint made the TARPU a lil thicker and improved its texture. Now without hotspotting, the image looked TERRIFIC.
Expenses:
TARPU -90/yard x 2 = 180
Flat Latex paint = 130
;D
Next to try will be the laminate / formica. What is popular abroad is the Designer White Wilsonart Laminate which i have yet to find it here. What they have in ACE is the UNICA brand. For 280/piece (4'x8') only, I may experiment on using this during this long xmas vacation ;D

mga sirs, im researching on what type of screen to use, and I come across this thread.
its very informative.
I would like to DIY my screen using Tarpholin (<<spell check) the same material used for printed banners.
I will ask them to print a blackborder with this tarpholin. Im going this route cause I wanted this to double as blind and a screen.
However, I have a couple of questions for those with projector setup.
Any have tried using a trapholin? will this suffice as screen?
TIA
Happy new year
-
hi @brogger,
i think it has been discussed that tarps have irregular finish and as such might affect the image projected, i think for diy, its better to go with black out cloth. i think its the same price as tarps but more easy to work with as its not as hard as tarps. i think its available in all shell canvass outlets. and as the name suggest, it also blocks out light so it can also double as a blind. :)
-
I have experimented on this -- using the plain white tarpu is a no no.. hotspotting will be your bigger problem. However, you can apply generous coating of flat white latex to eliminate the mirroring effect.
Right now i repainted my dark gray DIY plastic screen with flat white latex just to havea new look and here's a sample of the image result:

nice sir jerix! btw, what do you mean by plastic screen? what material did you paint over? tia!
-
Bro my friend bought this thin plastic material by mistake in divisoria when i requested him to buy a BOC for me last year. The color is white, shiny in one side. Instead of throwing this away, I attached this on my DIY plywood screen. I painted it initially with white latex and from time to time repainted it with other shades, until before returning to pure white again my DIY screen was dark gray, which i like it very much because of its high contrast image effect.
The tarpu can perform very similar to this only if painted it with white latex. ;)

endless ang frame designs but the "film" ang pinaka para sa akin. kung mahilig ka sa cartoons pwede ring buong katawan ni Taz tapos ang screen nasa loob ng bunganga ;D ;D ;D kung malaki naman ang wall mo, ayos din kung you incorporate your screen sa wall as in parang naka blend lang sya.
now, kung type mo ang pintor na si Piet Mondrian, ayos din >>> http://images.google.com.ph/images?hl=en&q=piet+mondrian

I'm building my own 103" 16:9 BOC screen, I'd just like to check if my measurements are right my computations said 90"x51.3" = 103" 16:9 screen
Second can you guys suggest paint that can be used for the cloth?
-
if i were to need a high gain diy screen, what shade of white do i have to use for the screen?
-
nice thread!
I might use a tarpaulin and paint it with dark gray. mukhang mahirap ang black out cloth dahil sa frame.
-
my temporary screen will be made of a silver gray/dark silver, and will be made by our local upholstery shop here in makati. it will cost less than 1k including the plywood and foam, yes ill have them stretch it. this should help avoid crease, a common issue with pj screens ;)
-
guys, anybody tried the paper materials used by architects,planners?
san ba available ang mga big sizes?
-
mukhang mahirap ang paper as projector screen. once magusot or madumihan mahirap na ayusin.

Hi. Ask ko lng till now ba wala pa din available ready mix paint designed for DIY projector screen?
-
hi,
i have a lot of perforated screen all in all around 6m x 13m (willing to cut to specific sizes) with no stand or frame. does anyone know who would be interested with these? i was thinking maybe the HT community would know which stores or personal buyers would want these and maybe have it framed and re sold again. im not really looking to sell this piece by piece or for monatary value, preferably i was thinking of a trade, for my whole supply for a panasonic ae4000u projector or a B&W 685 theater package and a denon 1910 w/ wires.
the screen brand is harkness. these are acoustic projector screens where you can install the speaker behind the screen for a better movie experience.
thanks in advance everyone
can contact me 0917 8928016

Hi. Ask ko lng till now ba wala pa din available ready mix paint designed for DIY projector screen?
are you thinking of painting a wall as your screen? try 2 coats of semi-gloss white over a coat of flat black. if the picture is too dark add a coat or 2 of gloss white.
-
Got a black out cloth/tarpaulin type sa Binondo 6'x10', di ko alam kung paano ko sisimulan kung nasa tubo or gagawa ako ng frame hay... :-( I won't be painting it anymore, as is na sya kasi maganda naman yung quality nung tinry ko. :-)

Screengo is a paint projection screen and its available here in the Phil. I have inquired about this already. It's not cheap, there estimate for a 90 inch screen is 8,000 plus. Their number is 5840000 and their showroom is at 5 ideal st, addition hills, mandaluyong. Hope this helps.
My screen is also a DIY using a laminated board(white) then painted it with flat light grey. This is surrounded by black framing. So far still happy with my DIY screen. Maybe next time I'll go for the screengo if budget permits.

Magkano umabot bossing? :-) Tapos para saan yung black tinting color? sorry ah hehe
-
lagyan mo ng konting black color yung white na flat na boysen. depende sa gusto mo you can make it dark gray to light gray. if you want better contrast medyo darker ang gray, otherwise light gray na lang. For tarp you also have to paint it to prevent hotspotting.

Bossing musta? Musta na din ang hdd? Hehe! Anyway, hot spotting eto yung parang reflection ng ilaw na binabato ng projector, tama ba? Isa yun sa 3 problema ko sa DIY pj screen ko eh... Ginawa ko kasi roll up yung tarp ko pero walang support sa ilalim so hindi sya batak. :-( I'm thinking of changing this entirely... masyadong nawawala na yung quality pag nasa 130" yung size nya kahit HD yung source ko. :-(
-

bro less than P1500.00, gamitin mo 3/4plywood para no need for back framing. tinting color bro ung hinahalo sa flat white para medyo maging gray.

Dapat pala eto na lang ginawa ko huhuhu... Thanks bro!
-
oo nga bro, mas madali install, less maintenance pag nadumihan pinturahan mo lng uli at wala ka na worry kung flat sya unlike pag cloth kelangan stretched talaga para wala sag.
-
nasubukan ko yung back side ng tarpaulin w/o paint. ok din results.
-
LAMPBLACK yata yung ginamit kung panghalo sa flatwall na boysen enamel. Depende sa mata mo, but you have to start with light gray pataas. ako nasubukan ko ng darker shade ng gray ok naman. but after a while nagsawa ako, ngayon back to plain white ulit. kung wala akong magawa ulit pwede kong pinturahan ng darker shade na naman. at least mura lang ang paint ;D
Popejerico -- got no problem with my HDD ;D
Kung e-roll kasi yung tarp posible ma bak-bak yung paint. mas ok kung ilagay mo sa frame na plywood. 1/2 ok na. lagyan mo din ng foam in between the plywood and the tarp, kahit yung 1/4 ang thickness lang. fasten it with stappler. gawan mo din ng plywood na border sa sukat na gusto mo. yung border balutan mo ng black na FELT (ewan ko kung correct spelling -hehehe) paper.

@e_none, minasilya mo pa ba yung plyboard para ma smooth yung suraface o derecho pintura na...?
oo bro, ginamit ko ung ready mix na masilya. mas maganda pumili ng plyboard na smooth ang surface para konting masilyahan nlang and at least 3/4" ang kapal para d na kelangan bracing sa likod.
-
ok thanks.. siguro baka 1/2 na plywood nalang gamitin ko...
-
ok bro, tapos bili ka 1/2"x2" s4s plain good lumber para nman sa border ng DIY screen saka pinturahan ng flat black. glazing patty pala bro ung tawag sa pangmasilya ready mix na d ka na magtitimpla.

My first attempt was a white flat wall. Hmm..could better. 2nd it was guesso paint (it's a primer paint used in canvas painting) that I bought at the art section of national bookstore. I got this idea on a DIY website pero mahal din yung paint lalo na kung mga 120" yung area. Tried it pero not stisfied. Then after doing more research I found out that the material should not be reflective o makintab. I found a material at an upholstery store na parang white leatherette (hope spelling is ok) PERO I used the back side of the material. Parang nag absorb siya ng light instead of reflecting. For me it looks great. I bought it for 50.00/yard. If I still remember the name correct...it's K4 or something). Then I Constructed a 4" aluminum frame and wrapped it with black material (yung pambalot sa speaker boxes na parang carpet).
I have a friend who bought a 96" screen for 24k .He tried this material first then the later then returned the the 24K screen back.

Sorry for upping this ancient thread.
Anyone know where I can get a high gain projection screen? I'm looking at 75" diagonal, 1.43:1 ratio.
Also regarding the DIY route: if I buy some blackout cloth and plywood, do you think my local upholstery store can make the screen for me? Don't have the time to make this. But I am in dire need of a projection screen cause my wall sucks (light blue and was painted by an amateur... you can see some thick portions of paint). I tried putting up a pure, white, cotton blanket on the wall and the change in picture quality was amazing! Can't wait to see what I'll get with an actual projection screen.

Sorry for upping this ancient thread.
Anyone know where I can get a high gain projection screen? I'm looking at 75" diagonal, 1.43:1 ratio.

there are now projection screens in cdr-king. 72". i bought an electronic screen from them for 4.9k, but cannibalized it to use the tubular motor for automatic horizantal masking for 2.35 viewing on my fixed screen.

I was planning on buying from them as well. The 72" one seems perfect for me as my screen's size is 72" diagonal (60"x42", 1.43:3 ratio). But I don't know about the quality of the projection screen itself. I went to The Brain in Virra Mall and they had a Da-Lite and ClearView screen there. I was interested in getting the ClearView 60"x60", but they didn't have the specs of the screen. Same goes for the Da-Lite. They didn't even know what model they had there.
Anyone else know where to get screens? I'm seriously considering the DIY route now. You know, blackout cloth + plywood panels. Pretty cheap and I heard it's pretty good. I'm not bothered with using matte white at this point since my projector is DLP + LED. Really, really good contrast ratio compared to the 3LCD + UHP and DLP + UHP commercial projectors I've seen. So no need to go gray for me.
P.S. To the DIYers here, what is the width of the panels of your DIY screens? I'm considering just a 2" width and 0.75" thick plywood panel. Is this good enough to hold the stapled blackout cloth together?

Just sharing my DIY screen with motorized horizontal mask. I've used styrofoam covered by black felt paper as borders.
16:9 screen
(http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a402/constant_htpc/home-theater/16x9_screen.jpg)
2.40 screen
(http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a402/constant_htpc/home-theater/240_screen.jpg)
I've used cabinet sliders placed on both ends of the mask to slide up/down the mask, and attached nylon strings that the tubular motor rolls up to bring up the mask or loosen up to bring the mask down.
This is the tubular motor with limit settings. It also comes with a remote control with 3 buttons up/down/stop.

Thanks, guys!
I've been toying with this idea for a long time, and it's great to have finally done it.
If I can be of help to anyone, just pm me :).
For my next project, I have this another idea, which I would appreciate anyone who can help me. This needs some knowledge on electronics. I'm a programmer but electronics is not my forte. I've been using xbmc for linux as my htpc front-end. I think I can put some patches into xbmc that would send data either to usb or serial port indicating the aspect ratio of the movie that is about to play. What I'd like to do is to build a circuit that would have the data I sent to usb or serial port as input and use it to control a relay switch attached to the controller of the tubular motor, and automatically bring up or bring down the mask depending on the aspect ratio of the movie. There might be some electronics folks or computer engineers out there who can assist me in building this circuit. Thanks in advance :).

Update on DIY Projector screen:
I received my Optoma HD66 720p DLP 3D projector a month ago to replace my old PLUS PIANO DLP 480p. Because its HD and brighter contrast ratio, I decided to upgrade my screen from 90" to 120" (59" x 105") diagonal. Once again it's a DIY task and some tips that I got from projectorcentral.com. I started with a couple of 4x8 hardiflex cut into size, nail it to a 67" x 113" wood frame.(4" wider to accomodate the border).
I applied putty to hide the seams, sand till flush. Applied primary flat latex paint using roller brush enough to cover mapping shades caused by the putty. Now the final and most important material, the "satin finish paint". Generously apply the satin paint using a roller brush till you got a uniform shade. Black borders are optional. I ripped 4" wide plywood strips, wrapped it with non-reflective black material (material used to wrap mobile speakers/amplifiers).
I am quite skeptic at first until I fired up the DLP PJ and tested it. Well the screen is much better than the old one I had ( made of cloth material). Blacks are near perfect . My seating distance is about 15-19'. any significant clarity compared to a 1080p is very minimal. Cost to bulid +P2.5k

SIr Ultimax what paint did you use? we have the same projector and i also want to have a projector screen with a 120" size though mine would be 72" by 96"..im currently contemplating of either buying a projector screen or just DIY one... my current pj screen is a plywood painted white using boysen flat and semi gloss white. thanks

I suggest start with your existing plywood screen, top it with a couple layer of either Davies BF-50501 Satin White, Boysen Satin Finish B7410, or even ace SATIN FINISH(ace is about 3x the price). Sometimes satin comes with shades so choose color closest to white (duh!) I'm sure paint stores sells per liter (tingi) because these are usually sold in gallon sizes (you only need half a gallon for a 120 "). If you decide on a DIY, application should be limited to concrete and drywall substrates only like hardiflex.
Test it first on your existing screen (maybe a liter will do) then decide.
-
sir, malaki po ba pagkakaiba ng flat finish sa semi gloss at sa satin finish para po sa projector screen? ang gamit ko po kc eh 1 plywood(4ft x 8ft) flat finish, viewing distance mga 5 meters. sensya na po 1st tym kung mag ka projector. ty

Anybody know any branch of Shell Canvas which still has that BOC which could be stretched for a projector screen? The one they currently sell cannot be stretched anymore, which means a screen cannot be 54" anymore... :(
-
Yung roller brushs ba may mga model at number pa? Anong magandang gamitin para smooth talaga yung paint? Pag ipa spray paint ko kaya yung plywood mas ok kaya?
-
Sa mga gumawa ng DIY screen using shell canvas BOC, anong side ng cloth (colored or the white back side) ang ginamit ninyo. Anong color ng BOC ang binili ninyo? I'm asking kasi if you're going to use the back side as your screen, then it doesn't really matter what color of BOC you buy, tama ba? Or do I buy the whitest BOC that I can buy then use the front side?

It's either it's white or light grey so it will depend on your pj. The light grey will improve contrast but white shots will not be so white. So it does not really matter but get the whitest you can and the SMOOTHEST you can para walang texture yung mga close up shots ;)

Thanks Ricky. Kaya ko po naitanong kasi napansin ko yung mga BOC sa shell canvas comes in different colors pero yung back side nila eh pare-parehong white. So do you actually use the front or the back side of the BOC? Plano ko kasi, once dumating na yung fixed frame screen na inorder ko, I'll use the BOC to cover my windows (colored side facing the outside). Right now black cartolina lang ang ipinangtakip ko sa window glass (di halata since meron din akong vertical blinds). Effective naman since wala talagang light leak, pero when you view the window from the outside (lawn), it looks weird kasi all black. Am thinking of getting a colored BOC (green or cream para maganda naman tingnan yung window from the outside) pero yung back side which is white ang gagamitin ko as PJ screen.

Pwede mo gamitan sand paper na pinong Pino until you get the texture you prefer. Yung iba minamasilya nila para Makinis talaga then light sanding pa din
Bro r1dvd you have to use the white part talaga ESP Kung colored yung reverse side. Meron kasi na white-light gray yan na combination so yun yung mention ko na pwede kahit ano.

Bro Ricky, pag natuyo i sand ko na lang para kuminis right?
Any paint recommendations and color? Pant brand? Paint number? may mga primer primer pa ba or diretso paint na? Sorry not an expert with this eh he he he.. Ill be using plywood nga pala.. Thanks

mas maigi siguro spray paint ang gamitin sa finishing para makinis talaga.

1/2" gagamitin ko para makapal na at di na kelangan nang brace sa likod, or may mas makapal pa ba dito? Basta yung makapal na..
Since di ako expert ang kelangan ko sana eh Materials to use.
Like Paint, anong brand, anong type, anong magandang color for PJ...
My primer pa ba?
May sizes ba ang roller, anong klaseng roller.. etc...
he he he... I'm so excited to start na he he he

Another option you can consider is try looking at gypsum board, one side is matt white, it's flat and relatively cheaper than plywood for the same thickness. Another one that is ultra cheap is the tarpaulin material, it's also white and comes in assortment of textures.
Key here is not to spend too much if you just want something to satisfy your curiosity or for "pantawid gutom Lang"( ano nga term sa English nito? :-[)
Another combo you can use is 1/4 plowed covered with cloth, kahit ano white cloth pwede. Pwede din ala curtain style then just put counter weights at the bottom para mabanat sya.

Thanks for the suggestions, sir ricky.
Sir courage, baka mauna ka pa sa akin, I haven't decided yet what material to use

And if ever you decide to use plywood, just apply glazing putty white ot you can also use kalsomine mixed with either flat wall enamel or the more expensive satin finish enamels available at ace hardwares.
Naku dami nyo na option, mas harder to decide tuloy ;D

Glazing putty? Di ba ito yung masilya sa wood? Pedeng ito lang gamitin? Pero di ba hindi brush gamit dito kundi yung thin metal thingy?

Or mga MDF boards, makikinis na ang surface. kaunting masilya lang. He can also bring it to an auto paint shop and have them spray paint the wood. I use maual roll down screens. Pero mine already had a few warps which is noticeable. Iba din talaga ang fixed screen.

Pag ibinayad sa paint shop mahal bro parang bumili ka ng real thing. Yung creases ba ng screen mo halata pa when watching in a dark room or Kung lighted Lang yung room? Does it affect pq na ba? Try mo steam treatment pare or pwede mo Lagyan nun metal na ginagamit pang saksak ng bara.

Halata both. :( It does affect PQ most especially on moving scenes. Magugulat ka, biglang aalon sa otherwise, smooth movement.
I wanted to try steam treatment or hair blower dati pero i'm afraid baka lalo kong masira. I'll try the steam treatment. But wala akong steam iron etc. Any other DIY tips? Batakain ko ba sa lower part when exposing the creased part sa steam? Or should i steam the whole screen na?
Ano yun metal pang saksak ng bara?
Kinda V-shape yun crease starting from the middle ng handle ng pull down.

Steam whole screen on a flat surface bro.
Yung metal , plehe ba tawag don? Yung manipis na flat stainless looking metal. Yung always straight sya.
Or you can remount the metal rod sa bottom of the screen. Looks like yung creases mo product of too much pulling of the screen downwards. Kahit yung sa may handle Lang tabasan mo yung screen.

Exactly. Dun ako nagkamali. I should have settled for fixed screen. Then may cover.
Kaya retracting ang screen ko, is because behind my screen (front wall) is absorbers and difussers. Why? Because ang back wall ko is purely difussers. Preference ko kasi ang dead front wall, and lively back wall for stereo listening. :D Very ok siya for audio. But for movie watching, may flutter echoes ako because naka-pull down ang screen. :( Ang best cover for screen, idea ko lang, is accordion type na absorber ang panel ng accordion. :D
na-unsyami kasi ang pagdalaw mo. ;)

Finally finished my DIY plywood screen. I used 1/2" plywood (8' x 4' ) to make a 92" diagonal screen. I painted it using flat wall enamel and roller brush. Mabuti na lang at merong jigsaw and electric sander....makes doing it a lot easier. First time ko na-try kanina sa Optoma HD33 PJ and video is stunning and the color really pops out! It's much, much better than projecting it on bare wall. Will mount it tomorrow on the wall. This will do for now, until my fixed frame arrives

Let me see. Yung iba, approximate price lang since di ko na maalala exact price)
1/2" plywood (P550). Pili ka lang ng flat na plywood kasi yung ibang plywood sa hardware medyo warped ng kaunti. Let the plywood stand on its side para makita mo kung baliko o hindi.
Boysen flat wall enamel (P150)
Roller brush with paint tray for the white paint - Large (P90)
Boysen glazing putty (P160). Only small amount was used since generally makinis naman yung nabili kong plywood. Kung wala namang malaking uka yung plywood, you won't need this.
Metal spreader for the glazing putty (P30)
Masking tape (P40). After painting the entire plywood white, wait for it to dry. Pag tuyo na, put masking tape all around to delineate yung junction ng white screen at yung black border (so that when you paint the black border, di kakalat sa white part ng screen and para diretso rin yung black border). After painting the black border, make sure to remove the masking tape BEFORE the black paint dries up.
Roller brush with paint tray for black border - small (P40)
Other things na nagamit but didn't buy anymore since meron pa akong sobra sa house:
- black paint. Gloss pala yung meron ako sa house. Dapat talaga flat and not gloss para walang reflection. Too bad at sarado ang hardwares pero ok na rin ito. Will just repaint later or cover with felt paper.
- sanding paper
Useful tools which made my job easy
- jigsaw
- electric sander
-
Nga pala, don't be too O-C sa pagpili ng roller brush at pag paint. I bought yung Hi-tech brand which is the cheapest na nakita ko sa Ace Hardware. While painting the plywood, parang di masyadong even ang itsura but when it dried up, ok naman. Kung may kaunting imperfections man, di ko siya halata when viewing from 10 feet. In fact very happy ako sa result at naisip ko dapat ata di na ako bumili ng fixed frame ;D

nice!

Boysen glazing putty (P160). Only small amount was used since generally makinis naman yung nabili kong plywood. Kung wala namang malaking uka yung plywood, you won't need this.
Metal spreader for the glazing putty (P30)
Masking tape (P40). After painting the entire plywood white, wait for it to dry. Pag tuyo na, put masking tape all around to delineate yung junction ng white screen at yung black border (so that when you paint the black border, di kakalat sa white part ng screen and para diretso rin yung black border)
Roller brush with paint tray for black border - small (P40)
Other things na nagamit but didn't buy anymore since meron pa akong sobra sa house:
- black paint. Gloss pala yung meron ako sa house. Dapat talaga flat and not gloss para walang reflection. Too bad at sarado ang hardwares pero ok na rin ito. Will just repaint later or cover with felt paper.
- sanding paper
Useful tools which made my job easy
- jigsaw
- electric sander
Uyyyy brader thanks.. this will be very useful for me, now meron na akong template...
Question, after matuyo nang paint, yung texture ba katulad nung pic na post ko? Pag na sand mag eeven na yung texture right?

Mas smooth compared sa posted pix mo pero malamang kahit ganun ang texture eh di mo rin naman mapapansin from afar. Mahalaga lang eh dapat flat wall enamel para hindi reflective

Kinopya ko sa website ng Elite screens yung dimensions ng 92" screen nila (16:9 AR). Lumabas na sobra yung plywood (lengthwise) so nilagari ko pa. For a 92" screen, the viewing width should be 2037 mm x 1145 mm. The 8" x 4" plywood only allowed me to use 37 mm wide border.
Sakto naman yung image sa screen na ginawa ko (16:9 movies)

I just placed 3 screws dun sa area covered by the top border then covered the screws with blu tack na color black. Maganda lang yung nabili kong plywood at flat siya unlike the others I've seen na medyo warped na. Piliin lang ng mabuti yung plywood

My plywood ba na kaya ang 106 or 110 inch? ;D ;D

Pwede mo naman pagdugtungin and put braces sa likod to make them sturdy. Kailangan lang, magaling kang mag-apply ng masilya or putty para seamless pa din.
-
My plywood ba na kaya ang 106 or 110 inch? ;D ;D
I think 92" ang pinakamalaki na magagawa mo from an 8'x 4' plywood. Tama si Master Nelson, pwede mo pagdugtungin pero matrabaho na yun. Mas maganda pa rin kung 1-piece lang. Mukhang mahirap ata ang DIY kapag 106" or bigger screen kasi kailangan mo ng 52" (vertical dimension) just for the viewing area alone at lalagyan mo pa ng black border. Kung blackout cloth, di rin ata pwede since 54" ang lapad ng BOC sa Shell Canvas.

Or better yet, baka pwede na yun mismong wall (concrete or wood) na lang ang gawin screen para walang dugtong. it's also possible to hire a automotive painter para makinis and walang alon ang masilya. 1 day lang, finish na siya sa masilya and liha part.
54" lapad ng BOC would work kung yun 54" would be yun height. May available na 113" for the width. less tig 1" for the border, may matitira pang 111" for the width. Swak din kay xrampage requirement na 106" - 110" na width. that would produce more than 115" diagonal sukat.

Pwede na kaya lang parang manipis ang 1" border. Sabagay pwede naman dugtungan on all sides for the borders (gawan ng malapad na frame in front of the back frame na pinag-staple-an ng BOC). Pwede pa rin xrampage pero hanggang 106" diagonal lang, sagad na yun.

what's your target in inches diagonally? puede 2 plywood siguro duktong pero mahirap mag duktong sa 1/2" ng walang backing frame, so kakapal ka ng 1/2" thick plywood + 2" framing (using 2" x2") but can be thinner

Wala akong mapagmomountan sa ceiling eh.. kasi sagad sa backwall tapos masyado mataas ang ceiling sa kwarto.. Kaya plano ko maglagay nang bracket sa backwall tapos maglagay nang patungan nang projector dun.. Masyado maliit ang kwarto so to gain bigger screen kelangan ko isagad sa backwall ang PJ para maka at least 3 meters na throw ang PJ... kwento ko later he he he

Wall mount na lang. Tingnan mo sa amazon yung Peerless PPA-W. Yun ang gamit ko. Ok siya. Nga lang, baka masyadong mabigat yung Pana AE7000 mo. Tingnan mo na lang ang specs sa website nila kung kaya i-support. Tama si xrampage, dapat umorder ka na ng wall mount kung yun ang plano mo, para once dumating, maplano mo na ang screen size mo

Ni-repaint ko ng light grey yung DIY plywood screen at maganda ang naging effect sa black levels. Pansin ko kasi yung white screen (kahit flat white enamel ang gamit) medyo reflective especially on bright scenes. Mas gusto ko yung medyo madilim.

Like sa 1 liter of paint ilang drops nang Black he he he.. sorry talaga...

Tantyahan lang talaga. Better if you have an extra piece of plywood (yung pinagputulan ng screen) then experiment on the levels of gray that would be best suitable for your setup. Depende rin kasi yan sa PJ mo and room lighting kung mas maganda ang white or ang grey. Start ka muna with white, kung di ka masaya sa black levels, then saka ka mag-experimento sa grey. Bumili ako ng 1L na flat wall enamel na white and 60 ml Davies lamp black na tinting color. You only need a small amount of tinting color. I just used a barbeque stick and dipped (1 inch deep) it on the tinting color, let it drip a little para matanggal yung sobrang tinting color, then isinawsaw ko naman yung stick sa flat wall enamel and mixed it. Better to just use 3/4 enamel muna, yung 1/4 eh reserve just in case napaitim masyado pwede mo i-dilute ulit with the white enamel to make it lighter. Trial and error lang yan. After mixing, tingnan mo kung ok na ang pagka-grey. You can paint it first sa extra plywood mo then once matuyo, ilagay mo sa harap ng white screen mo and observe the difference (while projecting a movie). Kung medyo kulang pa, dagdag ka ulit. In my case, I needed 4 dippings of the barbeque stick for the 3/4 L ng flat wall enamel.
I needed to repaint mine with grey kasi napansin ko kung white, masyadong bright. Even if my room is totally dark with lights turned off, light colored yung walls ko kaya the reflection from the white screen illuminates the room and washes out the colors during bright scenes. Ayoko naman i-repaint pa ang room ng dark color. Now with the grey paint, tamang tama lang siya at gumanda ang black levels niya. Thinking nga of just selling the 92" Sable fixed frame (cinewhite) that I ordered kasi baka mas maganda pa itong DIY ko since custom painted siya for my PJ setup
Better din to use a non relective material for the black border. Yung una kong ginamit is black na quick dry enamel (gloss black) since yun lang ang meron sa bahay at sarado ang hardwares during the Holy Week. Tinapalan ko siya with black felt paper (4 cm wide all around) and definitely better siya compared sa previous black QDE.

I just used roller brush at ok naman. I'm sure mas uniform at mas makinis kung spray-painted pero I figured mas magastos kasi kailangan ko kumuha ng pintor, wala kasi akong pang-spray. Roller brush will do.
Ngayon ko lang napansin 'to Sir, ganda pala kinalabasan, for just P1,1xx at kaunting exercise, pwede na!

Go with a ready premix grey, grab a sample swatch para consistent sa taste how blacks go with your screen.
I assume flat / no gloss Ang dapat ano?

Brader lagi nauunsyami ang pag test ko sa PJ ko sa kubo ko kasi kahapon ung HDMI ng office laptop ni esmi di nagana. Last time dun sa ceiling mount ang liit naman projection screen so i need to wall mount para sagad ang layo ng PJ sa screen para masagad maging mas malaki ang screen alam ko 100+ na yung screen size pag naka sagad sa wall ung puwesto ng PJ. I need a wall mount na kasi ayaw ni misis yung parang wall mount ni brader jayson pangit daw like niya ung presentable daw mas maarte pa sa akin. ;D ;D

eh wag ka na umangal, just say "Yes Dear" Ikaw na kinukunsinti, ikaw pa ba tatanggi? ;D
yung sa ceiling mount, di ba may zoom naman si Epson 3010 mo so dapat pede mag 2x yung display (o baka mali intindi ko sa feature?).
PM mo ko anong cost ng wall mount mo ha? sana kayanin yung weight at ang laki netong 3010 ah!

Kayang kaya brader namax na ang zoom maliit pa din. Kaya ako nag PJ para malaki ang screen kaya isasagad ko na. Gumawa naman ung karpintero ng kahoy na mount ang laki naman puwede nga ako umupo sa laki ang pangit tuloy.
Dual mount siya brader pang ceiling and wall. May nag comment sa amazon na kayang kaya niya ang Epson 8350 which same weight with Epson 3010. ;D ;D

Actually may DIY na sa bahay kaya lang ayaw talaga ni misis. Nakakita na nga ako ng bakal talaga pang support pero ayaw ni misis baka di siya nagandahan. Tapos yung sa CDR-King may bad experience na din ako yung sa Voltage regulator nila na 1k nasunog yung outlet buti na lang wala nasira sa HDTV and HTPC ko. Kaya ingat na ako bili ng CDR-King item baka mamaya bigla na naman bumigay madale yung PJ ko. ;D ;D

mabibili ito sa tindahan ng mga compressor at air-conditioning parts.
i think 120 to 180 pesos per roll nito.

Ganito gawin mo brader kuha ka ng masking tape tapos tape mo dun sa hangganan ng pipinyurahan mo para maayos ang pag kakapintura and diretso. Pag may tape di ang mapipinturahan mo lang is ung sa lalagyan mo ng flat black. Ganyan din ginagawa ng iba. ;) ;) ;)

basta manipis na roller at manipis ang pahid, kahit dalawang pasada.
kung alanganin ka aba eh like any other problem, tambakan mo yung tape, (doblehin mo).
if alanganin ka pa din, tagyan mo ng dyaryo sa tabi ng tape pang sigurado.

No need to have a very firm hand sa spray as long as you cover the other parts properly. Just allow time between sprays and make sure hindi mahangin or maalikabok yun spraying area. You suking pintor can also do it for you.

I guess i'll have to stay with roller brush.. Planning to remove the border and just roller paint na lang the sides.. Kelangan ko lang talaga eh black na black na FLAT paint...
Di na ako makapag spray kasi naka fix na sa wall yung screen he he he..
Thanks for the suggestion sir Nelson..

Bakit mo nga pala papalitan yung felt paper border mo? For me, best material ang felt kasi it absorbs the stray light effectively. Dati naghahanap din ako ng flat black enamel pero wala ako makita, panay gloss. Not sure though sa mga expensive brands like Ace. Meron flat black in spray cans pero mahirap gamitin ito kung naka-fix na ang screen mo sa wall? Just buy a long wide ruler at yun gamitin mong guide when you cut the felt paper using cutter blade para uniform ang width at pantay-pantay. Then use double sided tape para idikit sa screen

Bro, i tried cutting it using different rulers and cutting tools.. talagang pumapalya ako sa pag cut.. Hindi ko talaga mapantay from end to end ha ha ha... Kaya yung border ko ngayon may part na may alon, may part na mas maikis ang width etc.. Maganda ang Felt if i can only make it right... he he he

Just put masking tape on the area you don't want painted. Remember to remove the tape before the paint totally dries up or else paghila mo ng tape baka sumama yung black paint mo. Good luck

Anybody here made an adjustable black borders, so when playing a source with black borders on top and bottom you can simply adjust it to that level and cover the bars with no image? I'm thinking of making one for superior contrast. i just still don't know what materials to use and how to make it adjustable he he he

Mawawala sa wide format,yung DIY screen mo kung de-galaw yung border...Para sa akin di ko type yung ganun,hehehe,nasa format kasi nung source mong movie yun e,sa akin di naman nagbabago ang image quality kahit anong size pa i set e...Di kaya kulang sa timpla yung PJ mo?

i get what you mean bro, para mawala yung blackdark gray bars when watching very wide formats. i was planning to design adjustable black covers for the top and bottom edges kaso nasira naman pj ko.

Yes yes yes.. thats what i'm talking about he he he... Yan din iniisip ko... When playing a very wide format movie.. hindi kasi na fifill yung 16:9 na screen eh...Eh ang dami pa namang movies na ganito yung format... I tried pmasking tape yung mga natira kong Black felt and mas maganda sya kasi pag patay na ilaw totally dark na yung sides nang displayed image.... the result is really awesome.. thats why naisip ko yung removable na top and bottom borders or adjustable.. I saw a post somewhere here na yung screen nya may adjustable borders di ko lang makita he he he

Yup... maganda talaga pag na eliminate mo yung bars na yun.. kasi kahit gaano kaganda yung contrast ma kikita mo pa rin yung bars no matter how dark your room is... i tested putting masking tape sa felt paper to cover the area grabe ang ganda nang result.. the image looks like it's just floating on a black background.. as in wala kang makikita but the image itself lalo na in my case nung nilagyan ko nang black curtains yung likod and surroundings he he he kaya talagang gusto ko i pursue yung adjustable borders he he he..
I know somebody here has a screen with adjustable, just dont know kung DIY yun he he he...

Bro, i know i can zoom on the image using the Player's zoom but i loose some left and right area of the image... also digital zoom degrades PQ, maybe not noticeable pero you do loose details he he he...
yes you can zoom it without losing details but it is stretched (not that good PQ but no lost details stretched details nga lang ;D ), kaya nga tanong ko kung ano player gamit mo.
nasanay na ako dito sa config na ito, VLC via htpc you can force it to do 16:9 always regardless of the media. :)
pag 1080p naman kmplayer pero stretched parin (overscan mode) 8)
btw mukhang OK sayo yung masking system ;D ;D

try mo lagyan ng parang door ng cabinet finished with felt sa ibabaw and ilalim using hinges.

Saw this just now.
anong material ang dapat gamitin pang cover sa border? would black cloth do fine or baka mag fade over time?
Found a software solution yang masking in an NMT, recently i discovered sa R6S na puede palang adjust from 100% X, 100% Y to "stretch", yun nga lang medjo mawawala ang aspect ratio mo.

This is great! thanks for the link. Sarap pag-aralan lalo na kung old PJ na. Baka i may give a boost or enhancement sa image. I just wonder what other replacements are available kung walang sand blasting glass beads. Will a smaller grit be better?
-
^i think wala nang ibang alternative sir. kasi ito rin ginagamit ng mga branded ng glass beaded na pj screen.
the problem is; wala yatang available locally nitong glass bead. kasi kahit sa planta ng katulad ng asahi glasss e, kasing laki ng airsoft pellets ang ginagamit.
check mo dito ang specs ng grit:

for those who used the blackout cloth is there a specific one to use? I went shell canvas and was given a lot of options. Is there a specific model number or style. There is one that is sold by the yard w a 60" width and some per square meter. From the previous pages sabi was likod ang gamitin. Is that the glossy/rubbery type? or should the one that looks like a canvass work?
-
Anyone here tried the screen goo paint?
I screw up my screen when i cleaned it. Thinking of painting it to cover the imperfections.

Meron na ba dito yan? I've read that it's very expensive and you will be much better if you buy a pj screen instead.
-
^wala din. mahigit 10k din kung oorderin mo online. mas ok nga siguro kung bibili ka na lang ng screen.

hehehe! no way sir. kung kaya man ng blender mo ang glass beads di pa rin maganda kinalabasan dahil pag tiningnan mo in microscopic form ung glass beads bilog pa rin.cguro pag sa blender e diamond cut na sya.

Maganda daw ito: Sherwin-Williams ProClassic Smooth Enamel Satin Finish

May naka-try na? Available kaya ito locally?

Also try the Rust-Oleum Metallic Pearl white accents & Liquitex Basics Acrylics Colors silver. Add a bit of flat white, neutral satin finish and water. Result would be way much better than ordinary flat white and black tinting paint combination.

Can you give us the formula sir. my flat white is kinda dull. gusto ko sana magpa mix sa Ace but don't know what mix to use.

How does it fare against commercial screens? And is it available locally? Where po?
Yung pinost ko kasi they compared it with a high-end screen (StudioTek 100 (http://www.stewartfilmscreen.com/residential/materials/front_projection_screen_materials/studiotek_100/studiotek_100_residential.html)) with outstanding results so I'm looking sana for that particular paint.

Sirs,
I could only compare the Silver fire V.2 sa commercial screen ng Acer, the SFv.2 is way much better than the commercial screen ng Acer .But I have compared with several DIY screens having locally available paint combination. Also, based from several users from AVSforum, the SFv.2 if done properly could compete with branded screens that are in the range of several thousand dollars. Ung DIY ko is painted using roller since I was not able to find a decent spray paint. Unfortunately the Rusto-leum and the Liquitex basics are not available locally, I bought mine at Amazon.
The DIY screen using flat white with a tint of black is not color accurate with respect to creating a silver/gray screen since it just looked "dark white". The Liquitex silver which is a major ingredient for both Silver fire V.2 and rs-maxxmudv.2 is highly color accurate (the paint looked like silver screen with slight gray).And since the screen finish is metallic, the colors of the projected image will have more "pop" and does handle ambient light that a bare flat white cannot handle.
The problem with these mixture (SFv.2 and RS-maxxmudd v.2) is that both are highly sensitive to uneven surfaces, and would work perfectly well when spray painted. Its also very difficult to mix the ingredients since water, flat white paint, satin, rustoleum & liquitex basics have varied viscosity. It needed a squirrel cage to achieve good texture.
For the formula, here it is..

Thank you very much for your valuable inputs sir. That being a high gain screen, wala bang naging problem with regards to hot spots? Or barely noticeable.
-
Thanks for posting rulesmeister. Are the quantities you imported enough for 2 screens?
BTW I know you're from Laguna, just messing with Nelson. ;D

Pwede tayo mag-volt-in. Let's get a white laminated MDF para smooth ang surface. I'm not just sure hot the recommended paint can adhere properly sa laminate. And i think melamine ang material ng laminate niya.
let's wait for rulesmeister re his reply sa hot spots inquiry ko, which is common in high gain screens.

Try nyo din ang hardiflex sir... Smooth ang surface. Not as smooth though as a laminate pero mas madali pinturahan. yun gamit ko attached to a 1x2 frame.

The paint quantity I got from Amazon could do 2 screens with 92" diagonal. However, since nagrework pa ako, wala ng natira. I would suggest if sir Marcrenz and sir Nelson would volt in order sa Amazon, kahit 1 bottle ng 32 oz Rustoleum metallic white pearl pwede na if 92" lang gagamitin nyo. But ung liquitex basics dapat tig 2 small bottle (8 oz) kayo since konti lang laman nun. Ung white flat paint (water based) and neutral satin finish could be bought sa Ace (sabihin nyo bibilhin nyo w/o mix) ung clear satin finish na bare lang. You only need 1 liter mix ng RS-MaxxMudd for the MDF board.
No hotspotting encountered since I made my screen more darker. Even ung earlier SFv.2 ko na lighter shade, no hotspotting although mas mataas gain nya. Hot spotting occurs when the light hits a gloss/semi gloss surface na CONTINOUS (i.e. like when you paint your screen with semi gloss paint) the amount of reflected light spreads out in a circular pattern sa center ng screen. Ung high gain nito is due to millions of very very tiny crystal-like material. Meron small space in between the 'crystal' the next 'crystal', this small space prevents the reflected light from spreading out thus preventing hot spotting.

Sirs, here is my DIY(well...carpenter made) screen.
110 inches diagonal, 1pc plywood, w/ about 10 inches extension on the left and top.
White primer, then sanded. then 2 coats of flat light gray paint was applied.

Picture quality is quite stunning given I only used roller to paint the screen, If this mix is spray-painted on a very smooth surface like plexiglass or something then the resulting image quality would even be greater

curious lang. tarpaulin material, pwede kaya? its relatively cheap tapos pwede i-DIY na roll up. uubra kaya?

Uubra pa rin ung tarp as DIY roll up, but PQ wise you'll see graininess on the picture, hindi smooth surface texture ng tarpaulin. Also consider na medyo glossy ung tarp, you'll see hot spotting.

appreciate it. thanks

sir, i bought the flexiwhite material (vinyl) with black backing and white front. this is the same material used by elitescreens cinewhite or cinegrey (flexigray kay carl).
what you probably have is a blackout cloth kasi puro white on both sides.

Bro, if ever I get the flexigrey materials from the same source, what PQ would that give me using Epson 3010? Or am I better off getting the flexiwhite material?
Thanks.

you will get better blacks with the flexigray in rooms without light control. in my case, my room has total light control hence i choose the flexiwhite.

Hi bro. I went and got the flexiwhite. Better PQ than my diy painted screen.

Hi bro. I went and got the flexiwhite. Better PQ than my diy painted screen.
Sir(s), can you provide details on how you had the screen materials shipped (courier, packaging, landed cost)? Am considering changing my DIY screen material. Will the creases be negligible if the cheaper option (box) was considered? Thanks.

yung iba bro stretched yung material pag layout ng screen kaya ok lang may crease :)

- purchase the screen material from Carl's Place in Amazon
- ship it by air (if you want it quick) thru JAC or FRS
- wait for a little bit over a week
- package size is 12x14x4 inches, paid 1.4k to manila
- do not worry about the fold marks or creases, it will go away once proper tension is applied
- see my build photos (post #385) in the previous page

Got the Flexigray 16:9, 71x126 material hand carried by a friend. Thanks for the inputs, Weng.
The creases are ugly, but I am hoping this weekend's DIY screen framing session works out well.
I still have until this weekend to finally decide on what screen dimensions to build, or even relocate the beamer closer to the screen. Q: Would a theoretical brightness of 15 fL (projectorcentral) be good enough for my room assuming light is controlled (curtains, night vieiwing)? Am initially planning to build a 138" screen with the H6510BD 13' away.
My other option to bring the projector closer to around 10ft., but since the ceiling is hardiflex/metal furring, I have very limited mount points that are rigid. Hope to hear suggestions and inputs.

Mga sir, pwede ko ba e raise ang problem ko dito na thread.
paano po gumamit ng Benq Calculator. my target screen is 110inch. Projector is BenQ W1070. thanks

from your previous post sir 1 plywood lang gamit mo diba? I think you can only go up to 92 max. anyway if you want a 110" you need 54" height 96" width with a throw distance of about 3.2 meters

sir bumili nalang ako ng Carl's Blackout Cloth, DIY Projector Screen, Raw Material/Fabric, 66x110-inch, Matte White, 16:9/1.0. anong pwedeng screen size gagawin ko sir and also distance ng PJ. Lalagay na kasi ng ceiling, gusto ko sana maikabit ng ang Mount para malinis tingnan. thanks

you can get 120" max 59"x105" at 3.5m distance. ambient light will play a factor. for me 100" is max na since image degrades when i go bigger using an epson 2030. i suggest you mount your pj first then work with the screen once the pj is mounted. i think your pj has lens shift so mas better placement options compared to mine. pero mas ok pag wala kang gagalawin lalo na sa keystone.

Ask ko lang po kung may nakapag try ng gumamit ng laminate sa kahoy ung flat white lang ang kulay..?. balak ko po sana ita na lang ang gamitin para d na mag pipintura sa plywood..

meron ba nun? If it doesn't reflect pwede yan. I tried a laminate yung parang pang whiteboard... bad idea... hahaha. hardiflex if you decide to use plywood mas smooth siya at mas madali pinturahan.

Yup mero po... kita ko sa wilcon kanina.. parang ding ding ung finish nya and di naman nag rereflect ung ilaw... para d na ko mag pipintura...

my DIY screen :)
yung mga excess na MDF board for built in cabinet ang ginawa kong framing sa screen, 2inch.

Gun tacker ang ginamit ko sa paglagay ng Carls Screen, hila dito, dila doon, para walang wrinkles or kulubot :D

ayan na po yung finish screen, yung excess na screen cut nalang. then yung panday na naka white shirt, may ginawa na syang pattern na kahoy para e cover up yung screen na may gun tacker. Apply ako ng felt Cloth Tape yung ikinabit na ang border :)

ang mali ko lang, d siya perfect na 16:9 screen. dapat pala project mo muna ang projector saka gagawa ng screen :D salamat PDVD
