To be honest, I have had the fire hawk for 5 years now, and with 4k and bright content, the material is very bothersome. It was bearable with 1080p, and you could mostly ignore it. Now I hate it. It's very distracting from the otherwise really impressive picture my Sony puts out. All the advice I received was that my room would be too bright and I'd lose light from the white walls and light coming in from the window. I dont think it would have been anywhere near as bad based on recently comparing samples in the room for the non fire hawk and brighter Stewart offerings. Also, the picture is overall darker which in 4k and HDR content again is EVEN darker with the fire hawk. This is true, even with HDR turned off. If your room is facing the sun and is directly exposed with lots of windows, maybe, but if not, in would suggest looking at alternatives.Looking to get a stewart firehawk balon screen. I would like to watch in some ambient light as well as with blackout curtains when needed. Does anyone have experience or opinions on this screen?
Size and model you are looking at?What is the current approximate production lead time for a custom Stewart screen?
In other words, from date a screen is ordered from a Stewart dealer, approximately how long currently before the screen will ship?
MMC57,Hi
We currently have a Stewart Firehawk SST 16x9 110" screen which I use with a Marantz 15-S1 1080P DLP projector.
This combination has served us really well since we installed it in 2007. Our theater seats are about 18 feet from the screen.
We are thinking of doing some changes and we are thinking of going to an acoustically transparent screen so we can get a larger image and also changing the projector to a 2160P resolution.
We would want to use a Stewart AT screen for this change but I have a question about the perforations in the Stewart screens.
I have been told that with a Stewart AT screen you need to specify the projector that you intend to use so the perforations can be placed at a certain angle depending on the light source that projector uses.
Right now we are look at projectors with three different types of light sources which are (a) Traditional Lamp (b) Laser and (c) HLD LED (Philips Color Spark)
Is this true that the perforations are placed at different angles with the Stewart Microperf X2 THX Ultra screens depending on the light source?
Thanks for any help.
The Neve would be a big improvement. I had an HCCV screen. The Neve will have no screen structure / texture in comparison, be brighter, and have next to no surface sheen in comparison. I replaced my HCCV with the Cima Neve over 5 years ago. Still couldn't be happier ! Screen shots -I have a new JVC RS2000 in a light controlled HT. I currently have a Da-lite 110” HCCV screen that I’m looking to replace. What are the pros and cons on the Neve vs ST100 vs ST130 in 110”.
I realize there is a fairly big pice difference. I’m willing to pay extra for higher a higher quality screen but don’t want to go overboard. Recommendations? Thanks.
Hi Alton,Hello All (and Don!)
I'm likely going to get a Stewart Studiotek 130 for my RS500 projector. The throw distance is limited to about 12'2" so I'm going considering a 118" diag screen (16:9).
Note: I _might_ go down to a 115" to help future proof things because the newer 4k JVC projectors have a slightly longer throw.
The room is very dark and light controlled.
The projector will be mounted on the ceiling and end up at the top of the screen more or less. Is this a cause for any concern?
Now, I've got a 2nd projector that I use to play games (that RS500 is terrible for games, IMHO). This older Sony HW30ES will be mounted on the side of the RS500 and I'll use horizontal lens shift. I haven't mounted it yet, but I expect it to be 3' off center. How will this impact the ST 130 viewing?
I'm ok with compromises when using the HW30ES but I'd like to try and understand them before I'm surprised.
Thanks!
