Discussion - Screens for 3D Projection - Page 10

Good info thread

I have over the past few weeks considered replacing my old Stewart Firehawk with a Dalite High Power since the 3D picture from my Sony VPL-VW95 seems so dim.

However I ran the calculations of both screens using the Simple 3D Projection Calc spreadsheet - and it appears the brightness using the Stewart (1.3 gain but maintaining
60% of polarization based upon information provided in the first posting) is actually greater than that of the Dalite. I'm claiming 1.9 gain for the Dalite since the projector placement is less
than optimum for the screen. Using "0" for the percent of polarization maintained for the Dalite gives me a brightness rating of 10.6 fL compared to 11.6 for the Stewart.

Anyone care to comment or confirm?

Describe projection room. Is it a dark man cave or traditional family or living room? Are you plan to watch in complete darkness or with some ambient light?

New developments.

I am putting up a new home theater for basement.

came across this option for projector:
epson w16sk

what do you guys think?
granted it is not 1080p -- but could it still be used

which screen is the most reasonable for passive 3d ( and should be good for 2 D also)for the money paid--what is your recommendation?
1) stewart 5d
2) da-lite silver lite 2.5
3) vutec silverscreen 3dp
4) harkness 240 material -- to be put on a screen

I think it would be waste of money and your effort. Why bother setting up wxga projector system that is also not capable of handling full hd? As Epson website says "Good for classroom" and I add not for your home theater. There are so many reasonable priced full hd pj's out there. Look for these and take you time. Good luck.

thanks for the advice and info from everone on this thread.

so will go for 2 projectors with 3dxl or geobox.

anyone can please help with sceen selection for 2d and 3d applications?? which one is good
i am trying for 130 to 150 inch screen,
2 rows of seating, first row will be about 11 feet-12 feet from screen
