Great, thanks.

How is the off-axis viewing with this stuff? I saw a gain chart somewhere around here and it looked like there was a pretty dramatic falloff even at 50 degrees, but i'm not sure if i was reading that right.

If i primed and painted it with a True Value N8 or something, would that give me better off axis viewing or not?

One thing to keep in mind, 50 degrees is just half the viewing cone, so if you see a half gain drop off at 50 degrees, that's a 100 degree viewing cone which is a large viewing angle.

As far as painting a sheet of FG... that is such a waste, like someone getting Do-Able and painting it! If it comes down to that maybe check and see if someone in your area wants to take it off your hands and we can get you going with a less expensive substrate or painting option. But I do think you'll be happy with FG. Worse case, and this would apply to any screen, if you feel the image is 'too bright' then check into an ND filter.

As far as ambient performance, here is an N8 with lots of sunlight, not just a room lamp...






And with the lumen output of the Panny Ax100u you don't have to worry about whites, the shots above and the ones below with lights out are with a projector rated at 1700 max lumens.


And a couple of off axis shots to show this N8 screen has a very wide viewing cone...
