Okay- time to ask the experts for my specific setup. I've been reading aout BW for 2 weeks now and I think it will be good for me, but now I'm a little concerned about brightness.
I have a Sharp xv-z12000mkII with about 400 hrs on the bulb. It's rated at 1000 lumens with the iris open, and I think about 600 with it closed down. My current screen is a Parkland plastic approx. 84"x47" painted with Behr SilverScreen. I'm projecting from about 14.5'. My walls and carpets are a medium to dark tan. I have very good light control in the room. We mostly watch at night, but sometimes have a spot halogen on for reading.
My PJ has a manual iris. I'd like to set it to high contrast mode because I like the black levels, but I find it to be way too dim. In high brightness mode, the colors and whites look good, but the black levels are lacking. I want it all!!!
I'd like to increase my screen size to approx. 94"x53".
So do you think BW is right for me? Will the aluminum in itgive me the extra brightness I want or should I be looking at C&S or perhaps just some Wilsonart DW?
I really like my blacks to be black.
