 I'm pretty picky about my whites and i know what you mean when there's no side by side to compare. Lets just say i'm kind of spoiled having a 133' Da-lite HP in the house!
I'll report back once i get going......and i'm almost scared to start......i've painted for over 30+ years and painting around the house comes last!.....but once i get going you can be sure i've got all the tools/sprayers/paint shakers/experience etc to hopefully make a contribution back to "the cause" Thanks again-Fritz |
Like everything in life, we all have differernt personal preferences and tastes. Some people want deep dark blacks, others are white level afficianatos. Neither is right or wrong, what matters is what you like.
So far there is no magic screen, either in DIY or commercial, one that has the deepest darkest blacks of the best gray screen while having the whitest and brightest whites of the best white screen.
You sound like you prefer white levels over blacks. Unless you're combating light issues that is washing the screen image out, I am not sure if you would like a gray screen no matter how good it is.
The beauty of DIY and especially using paint is that a person can quickly and inexpensively run a test on a gray screen and see if they like it without being out a significant amount of money.
As far as painting a screen, it really isn't as difficult as it has been made out to be. If you've been painting as long as you said, then you will have no trouble painting a screen. If a person can paint a room in their house they can paint a screen.
