Yeah, you guys need a matching set, I think.

how much was that frabric you guys are using? Stretching the blackout cloth on my frame sure did screw up the frame, it is not square anymore, because of the pressure of the stretched blackout cloth...Its my fault tho, I stretched it so much that the frame couldn't handle the pressure.
I then screwed it to the wall to make sure that it stays...has been good so far...

It's actually screen fabric made by Dazian. I bought it on their ebay front. I got the Dazian matte white, the price varies since they sell specific pieces of fabric (they do sell by the yard on their regular website but it's a little more expensive).

Robb, check out the DIY screen forum at AVS. It's awesome. It made me want to build a screen and I don't even have a projector.

You have no idea how much I have looked at the DIY screen forum...probably at least over 15 hours of research (which is how I came up with the blackout cloth idea).
Thanks for the suggestion, it is a huge resource of information that is usefull for anyone looking to build a DIY screen...
I went through a "paint a screen" stage before going to blackout cloth, much cleaner and easier to make IMHO.

Well, the projector is in...impressions will be posted tomorrow...trying to decide what to watch tonite to cristen the projector...Either Batman Begins or The Matrix will be played I think!
WOW, this projector is HUUUUUGE compared to my loaner BenQ office projector...I am thinking I will be blown away by the picture quality, even just be judging on the shear size of the thing!! I think its at least 1.5x bigger than the current projector in my basement.

Hey guys, I have been debating for a while weather to get a projector or not. I have a hitachi ultravision 65 in that I got a few years ago. The picture quality on it is very nice, but as everyone knows BIGGER IS BETTER!!!! Questions I have about it are this. I have actually built a theater room in my basement that I have wired for a projector mount to the ceiling, but I am kinda scared that a projector may not have the same quality picture as the tv. My room is completely light controlled. I can either turn the light all the way on or dim them to any level. I have also thought about the z5 and the panny 100ax. How does a projector compare to this tv's color saturation, black levels. My seating position is about 19ft. back from the wall. I was thinking a 106 inch screen would be about right. With that size screen could I use a Z5 with the lights on for tv watching or would I have to go with the panny. Also, is there much difference in sharpness between a 1080p projector such as the epson and the z5 or panny. I am asking in reference to HD DVD/ blu ray material. If it is a noticable diff I may wait a little longer for the epson prices to come down even more. Ok, out of all of the questions, I am most concerned to know if projectors can give a very comparible picture to the 65in crt ultravision I already have. Thanks for everyone's input ahead of time.

all I know is that my Z5 properly calibrated looks like a giant plasma on my wall...:)
I am projecting a 92" image, seated from 10 feet. I see no SDE at all.

Robb, congrats and have fun with the new toys, it sounds like you need some M80's to go with that giant screen.
