 Well...
Unfortunately i've already ordered the Fashion Grey... but thats what you use right? I went with this particularly because i saw your screenshots and was under the assumption thats what you were using. They looked pretty good.
Glad to hear there are no cone issues.. does applying the Behr poly make a significant difference - or i guess the question would be, do you think it would help with my 2000 lumen ax100u? Don't know if the issue was with higher lumen or lower lumen, or if it matters at all.. i just know that some people had issues where others didn't.
Well at least it seems you're happy with your fashion grey... that gives me hope knowing i probably won't be nearly as critical as you, being an entry level DIY screener.
At least i'm starting at what seems like a good place. |
Honestly, you should be fine with Fashion Grey. It's not that it's 'bad', it really does perform very good, but if there is a better balanced option out there that's what we are going to test and ultimately recommend. Acceptable is perfectly fine, but I do think DIY developers strive for optimal or 'best' even though I hear a lot of 'close enough' comments. We really can do better than that, which is one thing I do strive for. The other is KISS, and keeping things easy for people to do.
One thing you will have to do is poly coat it to make it more diffusive and knock down the specularity or you'll have some hot spotting with a projector that bright. Also before making any final conclusions, test all your settings. You'll most likely find one that will pop in and look the best.
You'll even run into some of the very same issues with commercial screens, the biggest difference is the cost factor though.
Try to take a picture diary of your screen process, that's the most benificial to everyone.
People always love to see a project unfold and see the steps from start to finish.
