Suggestions on edge light bleed (fabric) (1 Viewer)

[KingBob]

I have everything dialed in really well, but I have about 6-8 inches of light outside the black mask of the screen. Has anyone purchased/installed light absorbing fabric to put on the wall behind (beside) the screen? I could probably paint the wall, but if I can buy and hang some fabric that would be preferable. THANKS!

Thanks Don. Have you tried this before? It absorbs and doesn't reflect light at all?

I used velvet from Jo-Ann to make the screen border and masking panels for my projection screen. As long as you mount it tight with no wrinkles it will absorb light.

Yes, I've this material for years for masking and border cover and it works great.

Black velvet works great for me.
