Great video, I've wondered for a while of the best way to build one of these, you saved me hours of work trying to figure out the best material to use!

Glad to hear that! This is such a great way to save some money if you want to build your own theater. I hope you use it and feel free to show off your results on the forum. I know we would all love to see the finished project.

Great, to the point video. My only issue with the UF screen material is it has a 0.8 gain. With perforated screens you’re sacrificing brightness to begin with and a 0.8 gain takes that down even further.

Can you please build a HPM 100 type size box with a 12-in woofer, mid-range and tweeter for $300? I would definitely buy those plans. I know there's a way you can do it where the speakers will sound incredible on the cheap.

blimey , maybe i should be a projectionist again ? bed sheets . yes bed sheets was first used for cinema . guess you didn't know that if hanging around on that avs site . plastic acoustical transparent screens didn't come around until the invention of plastic in around 1950's . okay i have some films to watch now on x154 JBL professional cinema PA , with legit THX . i maybe educate you more on this later when i have the time .

I made a DIY one many years ago, but the cheap fabric is not near a proper screen like elite screens with ALR, good gain and grey for daytime viewing. But in a light controlled environment its not that bad with DIY. Using ALR UST Elitescreens now, with laser PJ
@Toid2 жыл бұрын
This was really talking mainly about acoustically transparent screens and which I did mention high-end screen material that you can purchase DIY. If you don't need acoustically transparent material, you can get DIY ALR fabric right from Amazon and still save yourself a ton of money. amzn.to/3AnTtIc
@Toid2 жыл бұрын
And if you really want high-end you can go with silver ticket DIY ALR material.

@@Toid yep, for controlled lighting the cheap fabrics also work quite well (but not for short throw in my experience). In my kids room I even just painted the wall in a matte grey color and it looks quite well considering what it is.

@Toid7 ай бұрын
I really liked it. I have recently replaced it with a silver ticket WAB. Which I also appreciate because it’s a little bit bigger. The main reason I ended up switching to the WAB is because it is easier to stretch evenly. And I wanted to use it also with an ultra short throw projector. You didn’t stretch as evenly and it did show some waves in the picture with the ultra short throw.

Nice video... I knew a lot of the separate bits before but nice to see it all together. One thing though ... in 2024 now with the prices of large TVs dropping I think the days of 100" projection screens are dead... would get a massively improved HDR image on these new 100"+ TVs. Projection only really useful now for much bigger screen sizes... right now I'm trying to make/build/buy parts for a 140" about size. Also I noticed in your video you just had speakers in big empty space behind screen - you know that's bad right, was that temporary mock setup? Needs a baffle wall to control all the audio reflections bouncing back and forth off back wall and back of screen causing destructive interference and bad audio... that's another thing I'm right now in middle of trying to design/build.

so the frame sticks out more than the fabric? can someone please clarify?
@Toid Жыл бұрын
That is correct. You connect the screen material to the frame for tension. This is why the frame is on the outside. Also, you’re always going to have some type of over skin, so the frame wrapped properly will kill any over bleed from the projector
@tlwebb36 ай бұрын
Would you recommend wrapping the fabric behind the frame for smooth edges?

You only built a 4ft wide screen? That's a 55" screen. Doesn't make sense to do a projector for that at today's tv UHD prices. Building a 100 or 120" screen is more toward the real need. Does the Center Stage UF require a backing material? That would add to the cost.
