never start on a corner. always start in the middle and do about a foot wide section. then do the opposing side pulling it tight. do the sides the same way and then keep rotating around doing the opposing sides. im sure yours came out fine, but starting in a corner can and usually does lead to wrinkles and or bunched up material at the end. have to to it like an engine block rotating and opposing sides is the best bet. as for the grey screen, you are correct. the problem with projectors in a lit room is that the light in the room washes out the dark colors. by having a grey screen, your helping the dark colors along. and theres no real sacrifice on the light colors in a dark room. kind of like priming a wall grey before painting it black or red. nice work.

From an upholsterers frame of mind (pun intended), you should staple in the very center of every board, and then start working your stretch from center out on both top and bottom, and then finally the sides, same manner, center out. This method of applying fabric to any frame almost always guarantees that there will be no wrinkles or unintended pleating, especially if you are not working with stretch friendly fabric like you've shown.

I would suggest that for a crisp edge to the image, it would be better to put some "masking" around the edges. To achieve this, I'd actually create two frames, the inner one that you created here today, and an outer frame which is just the outside edges. The outside frame (which would sit proud of the rear frame) would be wrapped in a non light reflective black velvet like material. This would give a lovely clean edge to the images and also hide any unsightly edges on the screen material.

I would strongly recommend to everyone watching, if you are going to be doing a screen and using carls, they have a sample pack. GET THE SAMPLE PACK!! You can even ask them to sub out one or two sample for some of their AT screen material if you're doing that. Granted, most DIY folks here aren't to an AT level yet but seriously, get the samples. Then, use some white masking tape (other colors and painters tape will throw your eyes off) and place multiple samples, maybe 3 at a time max, up on the wall and project against those. Each type of material has pros and cons, and works different depending on your projector and your ambient light. You'll never really know what will work best for your situation, especially if you don't have 100% control of your lighting. Then watch a movie that has multiple colors and is kind of vivid but also with good contrast levels, not something that;s like all the same color like mad max lol. You;ll be able to compare directly between wall and each material type. Then you can get the proper screen for your situation. Try viewing at multiple times a day if you don't have full control of the light in the room. There's a few things you should dowith putting the screen on, don't remember if you mentioned them. First, sand all the screen facing edges so they are flush. Wood isn't perfect but you can make it so lol. Then, when putting it on, start in the middle of one side, do some, then go opposite of that, do some, then do the other two sides the same way and work around. I know someone else said that but I hung vinyl signs for a few years, big 30-50 foot bastards on high-rises, thats exactly how the pros do it. Finally, when you have the face done do a felt border, it's not required but will help with bleeding and gives you a solid edge tricking your eyes into slightly better contrast levels. To finish it on the wall, I'd usually recommend a slotted L shape bracket instead of using the hang on a screw method. 4 brackets on the same stud you put the screws on but on the outside part. I suggest slotted because you can make minor adjustments to get the perfect height and level. If you're off just a bit with your screws it will be hard to get another screw hole so close but just different enough to correct the problems with the first hole. If you have access to an unfinished ceiling still you can even hang it with string from the ceiling to line it up and then put in your brackets, this is handy if youre trying to perfectly hang a 120+ inch screen by yourself. If you guys want to jump in and see just how far the rabbit hole goes, go to AVSforum and check out their guides and build paths, Once you start down this path it's very easy to want to get the best home cinema you can lol
@chomp79277 жыл бұрын
I would suggest a movie with a bright colorful scene with some blacks in it that slowly pans side to side, this way you can see the same frame of reference on each sample sheet and get a good idea for how certain colors will look on each one. If you place them too far apart they will get different parts of the scene which could be lit differently and will throw you off looking for the best fit.

For the screen you can get fpr abpit $90 is "Carl’s FlexiGray, Projector Screen Material, High Contrast Gray (16:9 | 71x126 | 144-in | Rolled) HD/High-Definition, In/Outdoor Projection Screen, Portable Movie Screen, Low Ambient Light, Grey" It's a roll. If you look you can build easily a 1x4" frame with a pocket hole system and go as big as you need (125" 16:9, there are many other variations). I mean I guess $100 for a screen vs paying whatever this projector costs (I didn't see the cost, I'm guessing 30+K??). I like projectors but hell they are more expensive than a TV, which at times doesn't make sense considering the amount of material in a tv vs a projector.

I dont know... In this case you could've just painted the wall. It's better to let the screen come out from the wall some more and use other materials for the frame like something "thicker" I think, just to add some dept and let it come out from the back wall some more. Also you should either add some black velvet at the edges of the screen or project the image all the way to the edges. Grey colour don't add any contrast. It just messes up the colors and the white level. So you could try and paint the screen with a mixure of white and metallic silver to get higher contrast. There are a couple of popular recepies put there, but it could also mess up the colors though. This guide don't cover if you're going with a non streatchable fabric. Maybe you should add a word about that.

@LRN2DIY7 жыл бұрын
Hey Nathan. I haven't seen it so I can't say for sure but when I talked to my buddy and then read up on the gray vs white, I can see why the gray is advantageous in non-pitch-black situations. The gray gets you part of the way there toward a higher contrast image (darker colors are assisted by not starting from a white background) while the lighter colors are still able to show up bright and strong. In other words, there's no down side with the gray, only an upside. That's why I went with the gray but, like I said, I haven't compared them myself and I doubt it'd be a dramatic difference.
@nathankkarren53167 жыл бұрын
The gray certainly sounds interesting, I'll have to wait until I find someone who has one. It seems that gray would only have the same effect as dimming the projector if the room is very dark--hence the idea that it comes into greater use in ambient lit rooms. But I wonder how much ambient light it takes to render the gray more effective; I have a dark basement theater room but the lit screen itself causes considerable ambient light, even at 500 lumens from the projector, because the screen fits just between the two side walls. I haven't hung black fabric on them (yet).

Very valid question. To quote TMCicuurd12b42 below, "I certainly don't recommend painting the wall even with the "proper" paint. Every imperfection in your wall will eventually show, the drywall joints, the stud bumps, that spot you did not paint properly... A framed piece of proper fabric is the better option." They're right. Most walls have a texture of some sort, which gets annoying to watch. Even if your wall is perfectly flat, it likely has or will develop imperfections. Stretched fabric is superior in that regard. Additionally, the material of the fabric is made specifically for showing the best picture possible. Your wall is not.

Excellent video Nils. After hanging the screen I noticed that the measurements you took were the dimensions of the inside of the 1 x 4 frame. Which is nice because it leaves a boarder. So to finish it off, will you ultimately lay 4" strips of black felt over the edges? I understand that a black board will absorb the light and make for a crisper picture toward the edges.
@LRN2DIY7 жыл бұрын
On my buddy's screen we built it larger than we needed so he could add a border to it, like a black felt border border for absorbing light. When I built mine, I made it as close to the edge as I could, like you see in the beginning of the video, since I didn't plan on adding the border to it. I may change that later but I wasn't sure how much space I'd have to work with. Adding the light absorbing border helps your eyes take in all the contrast of the screen portion, so it is a good idea.

The finished size was just a bit bigger than the actual projection area, but it didn't need to be. If the top and bottom piece are exactly as wide as the projection, and the vertical pieces are exactly as tall as the projection minus the 7" or so for the top and bottom boards, it should work out perfectly. It's not a bad idea to add a couple of inches all around for wiggle room or a black matte border.

Obviously projecting onto a black screen would give you great dark colors but terrible lights, so grey is a great compromise because it still gives you bright whites (thanks to the powerful bulbs in projectors these days) and a better dark color set than a white screen can. The difference isn't tremendous, but it helps. Thanks for watching!

As far as brands, I have limited knowledge there but when I see a product on Amazon that has thousands of reviews with a 4 or 4.5 star average, I figure that's good enough for me. My friend and I both have Optomas and they're both pretty great as far as we can tell and I'd definitely recommend that brand. It's all about the budget you have though. My projector was $550, which I think is a great price but if you want something higher quality, it's out there for more money.

Look into the BenQ W1070. Arguably the best Projector in the budget segment. It has since been replaced by the HT2050. Both are well under 1K and have features and quality of much more expensive products. good luck!

What about the black out tape for the edge ?

i agree that it doesnt look any better but having a optima projector i use all the time im also aware that video of a projection never shows the true quality ot brightness. im pretty sure it makes a big difference because white was reflect alot of the light but i beleive projector screens absorb it or stop it throwing light around as much

Thank you for the frame Directions, I finally found a very well made tutorial. Would it be different material for 4K?
@LRN2DIY7 жыл бұрын
Glad you liked it, Raquel. No - the material should work for any resolution just fine!

So what was the diagonal dimensions of your screen?

I believe my friend's screen was about the same size as my screen, which was 142" diagonally.
