Re: Prof.'s DIY screen


Here are the test panel shots..

In all these pics., the panels are arranged from left to right as..

Panel 1. Dulux White

Panel 2. White/Silver

Panel 3. White/Silver/Gold

Outside in direct sunlight..
In daylight, there doesn't appear to be much difference between panel 2 &3..


White projector light straight on..
Under this lighting, panel 3 looks darker..


Taken at 45 degrees..
One thing that surprised me in this shot is that my own screen appears to have a viewing cone..


Taken at about 150 degrees..
My screen has reached it's limits and panels 2 & 3 have virtually merged together..Panel 1 is still unaffected by the extreme viewing angle..


Colour bars straight on..
My screen and panel 1 are identical straight on, and 2 & 3 look almost identical..with a very slight darkening of panel 3..


45 degrees..


160 degrees..
Panels 2 & 3 are identical at this angle..


Best panel for whites..My screen followed by panel 1..
Best panel for blacks.. Panel 2!..which surprised me, considering that panel 3 looks a little darker with general colours..
Best panel for colours...This is the tough one..The darker the panel, the darker the colours..

At the moment I'm tending to lean towards panel 2 overall..Excellent blacks, but with a small amount of white crush..
I may need some additional additive or a slightly different mix, to try and elevate the whites up to my current level..


Home Theatre....The never ending story!
