    Many Acoustically Transparent (AT) screens suggest using a black-out backing, typically black (alwayd as far as I know), to help hide the speaker behind the screen, and anything else that might behind the screen.

    I currently have an Elite Screens ezFrame Gray Screen that does a passable job in my living room. However, we're gonna be moving soon and the ambient light situation will be a lot worse in the new place (ie: screen will be closer to the windows and there will be more windows). Ideally I'd love...
