I haven’t posted in some time. Have been busy with kids, home reno and other things… :innocent:
Overall I’m very happy from Scorpion mix :clap: :T however I wish I could get a little better black level due to my Optoma HD65 PJ (not the greatest contrast).
Will there be a noticeable improvement, or the difference would be minimal at best???
I’m just pondering idea if it is worth hassle to repaint the screen. My 110” mdf screen (rapped in black velvet) is screwed to the drywall so I will have to use masking tape (grrrrr) on black velvet to prevent it from painting it…
I do have a quart of BW based on CIL paint (Todd’s mix). Both mechman and Harpmaker said it was a little bit off (I believe it was in yellow-orange range), but possibly not noticeably to the inexperienced naked eye. However if you guys think I might opt to invest and prepare new BW mix based on recommended paints.
Also I find my PJ too bright and it looks like the screen is “glowing” a little during dark scenes. i.e. when watching “The Pacific” TV show during night scenes If I lower the brightness I lose shadow detail. I guess I’m over the “Wow” factor (my first projector) and I’m starting to see shortcomings of my el cheapo Optoma HD65 or maybe I’m just getting too picky…. :whistling:
Perhaps a better idea is to save ~$50 (cost to mix new BW) toward buying a new PJ with a better contrast level once the lamp dies in HD65?

So should I or I should not roll BW over Scropion??? :dontknow:
TIA :bigsmile:
p.s. Don, some things do not change, plz empty your PMs I couldn’t send you one…. :heehee:
