Heya!
Found this most excellent place via google, and I have to say it seems you guys have all the answers to my screen ailments!
I am considering making my own screen, and it seems the BW or CS paints are what I am looking for.
I have a pretty bright room (white walls, a lot of sun in the daytime) and atm I am using a white Grandview screen (1.0 gain). From what I understand, I need a grey screen, and preferably one of those high contrast ones that are really expensive. I cant afford a Firehawk or similar, and since I am a DYI freak this place really sparked some interest!
Now, where do I go? My Z5 should put out something like 12-13fl at 14.7 feet/110" screen. However, the lamp is old and I guess it has about 500 hours left at the most. When the lamp is dead I am planning to get a brand new projector, which means the lumens will be increased a bunch. I understand the Cream and Sugar paint should be my choice based on my current situation, but that the BW will be superior once I get a new projector? The question is: should I get BW straight away? And if not, will changing to Cream and Sugar give me a noticeable performance increase compared to my white Grandview screen?
Anyway, thanks for some great inspiration, and I am looking forward to hearing from you!
