Hey rrlev. Just a heads up. If you find a good price on upcoming harware you may consider buying it and sitting on it. Projectors right now are fluctuating in price weekly and stock is low or gone on many models.

Anyway, years ago when we built our room Nick was around to give advice. Some of the best was dont set anything up until the room is finished. I know it will be tough, but he sure was right. smile Way harder to make everything right when things are operational at the “good enough” point. Rooms are never really done for hobbyists, but as soon as you can shoot a picture at the wall it sure gets tempting to get enjoying over finishing... laugh

I'll finish it ... don't you worry. It will be done in two or three phases. Right now the sound proofing and a partial platform (for a straight couch)). Then most of the finish and carpet. It will be usable at that point. 3rd phase is getting the correct main seating and fitting the platform to it. Which depending on other projects may take a while.

I'd never hide my speakers behind a screen. NEVER!

I agree with this statement for sure. While one can use equalizing enhancement from a receiver to help adjust for any frequency dips or spikes that will surely accrue from the speakers position, there is no adjustment for the picture itself, the picture is then deemed to have been softened. With a AT micro perf screen about ten percent of the screen material has been removed. This doesn't allow the pixels to be fully formed on the screen, and then returned back to the viewer's eyes as would a quality solid surface screen would do.


With out Jesus Christ there can be no Redemption or Salvation.

Modern AT screens are woven though. Perf is kind of old tech.

Maybe you are correct with older screens. But even modestly priced AT screens nowadays are phenominal.

Here is weave structure from an inch or so away. DLP image -so no screen door. I can assure you it is not a concern nowadays. Tack sharp. In fact, there is much more variation in image softness when the projector is first turned on vs up to temp. At 4k that makes a bigger difference. Focus after at temp -not cold!

Huh? confused

I will upload a single pixel test pattern pic later. We watched Gladiator last night and was late when we finished. Rich, if you zoom into the first image you can see pixel rows where the gradient on the line goes from white to darker. Easier to see with pixel checkerboard pattern.
