I stopped by the DNP store today and meet with Manfried. I told him you asked me to say "Hi". He smiled and bowed towards me and with a big grin said "Hi" right back to you.
WOW the Supernova Flex is amazing. The quality of the mechanics to raise and lower the screen was top notch. It wasn't lowered by a black drop made of material, it was lowered by a cable system and the fabric rolled over approximately a 3" roller vs the typical 3/4" roller a lot screen makers use. This eliminates any roll marks that eventually show up on motorized screens.
The PQ was as good or possibly better than my Samsung 8000. The PQ I was viewing was in a conference room with ALL the over head lights ON and when the lights were turned off, the picture was better but not by that much because there wasn't any washing out of the picture by the overhead lights.
What was really impressive was when Manfried took a flash light, turned it on and pointed it at the screen. As typical, the light was flashed on to the screen but then he raised his arm with the flashlight and angled the light down onto the screen, the light that was flashed on the screen disappeared. The screen literally adsorbed the light from the flash light. Impressive, very impressive for an ambient light problem.
The screen needs a PJ that has a minimum of 3000 lumens. They were projecting from the Crystal Sim2 PJ with 3,000 lumens that goes for about $8,000.00.
The perfect screen for my family room until I asked for the MSRP of a 100" diag., motorized screen that hung from the wall. $9,000.00 and if I wanted to have it recessed, $11,000.00.
I think I will stay with the Da-Lite OR now that I saved thousands of $$$$$$$$$$$ by NOT buying the Supernova, I'll take a look at the Stewart now that $4,000 no longer seems expensive for a good screen.
