 Performance wise, Designer White really does edge out Parkland as far as color balance and gain.
Parkland Plastics Polywall 235 237 232 Temp 6374/-129 93.4 -1.32 2.07
Wilsonart Designer White 234 236 235 Temp 6534/31 93.3 -1.18 0.27
Between the two, unless money is an absolute deciding factor, I'd go with Designer White if you want a simple substrate screen and don't want to mess with paints. Look around too. Home Depot and Lowes can be two to three times the price of a local store. I can get 4x8 sheets of DW for around $42 and Home Depot wants around $90 for the same thing.
The big thing you want to do is decide if you want a white screen or gray screen, and then make your screen choice from there.  |
I'm pretty sure I'm going to go grey. Was considering the Panny 200, but now have a lead on a very good price on the Epson 1080UB. Problem is that I will have ambient light issues at times. The review at projectorreviews recommended grey in any situations where you're not in the proverbial bat cave.
I've been calling around locally here (Austin, TX), and the quotes I've been getting (from tile and counter shops, not HD or Lowes) for the Fashion Gray have been in the $2.00 - $2.40/sq ft range. Any ideas on where to look to get a lower cost?
And one of the shops said "we still carry Fashion Grey. It is color # D381-60". So, is it discontinued or changing? And is the color I've got quoted here the correct one?
Any other laminate choices I should be pursuing? I need to keep my mounting options very simple since I am not mechanically inclined, and I've got an awkward mounting location anyhow.
Thanks,
Rich
