Kapag bumili ka ng TV, baka bahay na libre...

Baka nga kasi mas malaki ang sale na ito. Bilib na nga ako sa 84" UHDTV na may free BMW 3 series. Baliktad kesa atin na bili ng kotse na may free TV

Mura nga ng fare ng Cebu Pacific...Budget fare talaga...Eto ba sinakyan nyo?
Don't worry bro dito lang naman ako sa Abu Dhabi..hehehe..kailangan ng pang suporta sa bisyong madugo..

bro may pros and cons or should i say out weight ba ng PROS yung cons ng new screen?

Bro jamie, the CONS i noticed during the brief comparison with the DIY screen is the BLACKS. the DIY gray screen had deeper blacks but the difference is not really night and day. The difference was visible a few inches away from the screen when i had the cutout material placed side by side. But at viewing distance it is not noticeable. The most improved part is the brightness, the material has 1.1 gain. The picture really pops out and 3D movies are now brighter.

Other PROS
- got the material a little over a week from the US
- total cost is cheap with a little elbow grease used

Bought a 100" elite screen for a friend before. Shipping by Forex was already USD80.

Sobrang mura daw sabi ng mga friends ko. We booked our tickets last Jan pa and flew on the maiden flight. Namigay sila ng goodies sa mga passengers at may buffet sa pre departure.

Pumunta kami ng abu dhabi ferrari world and stayed overnight before the eid. Daming tao sa mga malls at 2am ang closing time nila.

technically pala bro walang CONS
mapapasyalan ko rin yan

Thanks brader. PM sent

[ǝʞɐɾ ʎzzɐɾ]

got it!  PM replied... with thought bubbles...    cheers brader weng!

[Superman]

thanks bro.

have you received the goodies already?

Wala pa bro as per my staff. Still out of PH. Hopefully dumating today or tomorrow. Thanks again. Congrats!

[oReOsHaKe]

thanks doc. yes, they are the same PVC material elite screen uses according to the gurus of AVS forum.

total cost including shipping of screen material by air is around 6.5k pesos. it would come out cheaper if i had it shipped via ocean freight. but it won't reach home while i'm on days off. so time is money, haha!!

This is great for diy'ers. 

[Weng!]

for everyone's info, i bought the screen material from Carl's Place
http://www.carlofet.com/projector-screen-material.html

FlexiWhite and FlexiGray materials can be shipped folded. the rest can't be fold and requires to be rolled in a tube.

you can also buy them from amazon with free shipping to US address. Carl's Place can also ship to PH but i chose my suki'ng air freight courier in NY. shipping was only 1350 pesos to manila. the material weighs 6 lbs with shipping box dimension of 12x14x3.5 inches.

HTH to anyone who wants to DIY a projector screen

Hi Weng, just browsed your thread, you've come a long way & an inspiration to any DIYer. Great set of gear - congrats.

Hi OBR,

Thanks for your kind words. I frequent your thread to see the work in progress. You have a very impressive gear list and especially a big TV.

By the way, I live near you. I am from Ormoc City, Leyte just a 2-hr boat ride from Cebu.

Cheers,

Weng

same pala tau source ng material sir. Got mine s Amazon by Carls Blackout Cloth pero pinasabay ko lang s balikbayan box. Good to know na ok lang outcome ng screen kahit na fold xa. For now nakatambay pa. Got it for mga 2k lang.

Waray din pala kau sir. My mother is also waray. Relatives ko nasa Tacloban and Maasin(?).

I not quite sure how long it will be until I have a room I can start working in, I'm guessing another 2 - 3 months. The waiting is killing me, also waiting to hear about my residents visa (they say next week) so I can ship my container.
Thanks for the compliments on my gear, the 85" Panny was not a scheduled upgrade. I popped into my Cambridge audio supplier to sort out the 851C & Performance 6's. Have a look in the demo room they said, my reply was "it's awesome but also awesome money" then they hooked me. How about we give you a discount (it related to around P900K), my reply is unprintable but had to make a phone call later in the day for them to reserve it for me. It was taken straight to the shippers so I haven't switched it on yet. I will probably get it calibrated so that be another job added to the list when all the kit is up & running.
That's handy being that close maybe we can meet up. From your thread I take it you work in the Middle East so only have 10 days leave every so often. PM me & we can arrange something.

mahal din pala inabot ng black out cloth. my flexiwhite cost $70, around 3.2k pesos. naka fold din ang black out cloth mo pag ship? dapat e assemble na ang BOC mo, hehehe.

i'm not a waray but a bisdak (bisaya'ng dako) . ormoc (bisaya) is 110 km away from tacloban (waray). if you drive to tacloban, around 40 kms from ormoc the dialect of the residents changes from bisaya to waray. also, in maasin (southern leyte) they have their own dialect which is pretty similar to bohol or surigao dialect.

3 months is just around the corner, you will get there eventually. i work in thailand on rotation of 4 weeks ON/4 weeks OFF in ormoc. been to the middle east (dubai) only for a holiday in the middle of my time off. i always go to cebu during my time off. maybe we can arrange some time to meet up with the rest of the PDVD cebuano members.

Hi Weng,

I've seen the damage that has been caused by Yolanda & it passed close to Ormoc City - are things OK with you & your family ? 

[Hammerheart]

Hope your fine there in Ormoc sir Weng.

[Weng!]

OBR and Denton,

Thanks for the concern. My family are fine and safe in Ormoc although there are damages to the house which everyone suffers. I am out of the country and was not at home during the typhoon.

OBR, how bad was the weather in Cebu during the storm?

[GIJoe]

Weng nice on the DIY screen you did not consider Phifer Sheerweave 4500 which brader louie use on his DIY screen.

Nice to hear your family is ok.
