!!!!!!!!!!!! BooooM !!!!!!!!!! That was certainly a fine example of someone going, "Mississippi" on the Peons. Last March, I was expecting a SE-50HD DLP to be delivered to the Atlantic City Convention Center for a exhibition of my Audio systems & DIY Screens at the Greater New Jersey Home...

Too bad you didn't go with a Studio Experience version of the Z1, the 1-HD. They not only inspect and correct factory problems prior to shipping, any "issues' I've had as a Dealer have been addressed in 3 days if I'm willing to expidite the PJs return for service. They match Freight costs too...

Good luck. I hate being the pessimist, but I'm betting the 1.3 gain is a pipe dream though. Also, any roll up screen that is not of the tensioned variety will suffer from "Lays Syndrome" That is to say, the end will roll up forward. That your gonna hate, sorry to say. As a staunch DIY...

David, Hold that Glass Beaded screen! It will be a deplorable choice for a LCD PJ like the Z1. You'll get a big Hot Spot in the center. Better to paint that wall with any one of several special paint formulas. Or....., go to my Gallerys and view some screenies of Light Fusion Mirror...

GE Polymershapes has Dealers across the Planet. I'll need your location to pinpoint the nearest Dealer for you. And yes, the mirror is 1/8" thick Poly/Acrylic Plastic with an aluminized coating on the rear, just like a standard "glass" mirror.

K', But make sure the paint Dude knows that the whole idea is to get three successive "thin" coats on, instead of two thick ones. The usual miscue happens when they try to apply too much, and the paint runs. Then, in an attempt to compensate, they put up even more paint! Instead, ask him to...

Lee, If you acquire a 4'x 8'x 1/8" sheet of Poly Mirror and have it cut down to a 2.35:1 - 1.85:1 or 16:9 ratio, and stick with a true HD LCD or DLP PJ of at least 1000 Lumems, AND recess that puppy into a Shadow Box, you'll be able to watch Movies & TV in ambient light high enough to sew or...

That was too easy.:D (...except all the typing. I'm a "hunt & pecker".):b

Hey Chris, I think it's the generalities being espoused that are at issue. And smack me if I get sounding pretentious, but take into account it's only because I face these issues with my own Clients and my ISUSA Dealer's Clients almost every day. The total reality of so many "Normal...

Shane Martin said: "It used to be 1.5 times the screen heighth IIRC. I think it still is." Only for those with a lousy display or lousy signal source. Or both. These days, High Res, High Lumen displays and PJs that put up a superb image can crowd that down to 1.25:1 easily. My clients with 9'...

Mosst all LCD & DLP RPTVs all are too weak in the Lumens dept to offset any room with a lot of windows and no curtain treatment. CRT RPTVs with 9" Guns (65" up) do much better. A Plasma would be even better, but it too will suffer from 'on screen' reflections from light sources that can cast...

Guys, there are viable alterantives. Sunlight? No way. Normal ambient light from lamps or properly mounted Can lights? You betcha. Between the developement of some special DIY screen applications, and the judicious use of proper Black Out trim, one can achieve an excellent image in low room...

I tried that at first, primarily because my initial screens were all sprayed in Mid-winter, and the MMud was coming to the job in a very "gooey-like" like state(...the reason it was hence named "Mud". Some wiseacre tossed in the "mississippi" handle and the rest is Infamy..., er, History I...

Chris, When made correctly, Light Fusion has enough gain (approx 1.8) to be exceptionally viewable in ordinary lamplight. I've got some excellent pic available to illustrate that. LF was originally designed to assist less expensive, low lumen PJs like the panny 300, Z1, X1, etc. in...

Try a Light Fusion. (not to be confused with a Lite beer...)

Well thank you, Andrew! I hope I can offer some assistance to those who need guidance and a sense of a true direction in which to head. Any who wants to see some photo examples of how good a DIY screen can produce stunning imagery just add the "http" in front of the : on the partial link...

MississippiMan here, Everything depends on your PJ and your viewing criteria. DLP / LCD / CRT ? Total Light Control? Provide details and enlightenment shall follow.
