EluneVision screens - Page 5

I just looked at the site, are they going to be available for us south of the border like before? I hope so!

I'msure I'll just have to make a phone call.... again

Lol, your the man ( I guess your a man, anyway)

the thing that gets me interested in these screens ( besides the price ) is that they say that the screen material is flexible and is not prone to waves ,mmmm if this is true that would be a bonus , but who knows



because this screen will be for my sis. and brother in law as a gift that will be also be presented with there new optoma hd70 pj ... , the only thing is which material will work ?


because my optoma h56a and h79 pj's work very well with my Video Spectra 1.5, ?,but hd70, i do not know , i will check it out on my screen to see how it works out ,

For my screen, it definitely was flexible. In fact, when I laid it out on top of the frame, I thought they had sent the wrong size screen because it looked too small.

But after stretching it out, it has remained perfectly flat for the past 2 months.

that's great to hear Dragon for my future purpose , and it does not let in light from the back say if you set it up in front of a window ?, but the thing is and I know this very well I think I my have to get an electric for my sis. setup 80x45 , because she lives in a condo and the only place that it will fit perfectly is in front of an opening leading to the dinning room that I can mount the screen ,so I wonder if the electric will do well ,


the dreaded waves ,


ps nice job on the theater , and what pj you have and what material of screen are you kicking ?

Can't comment on the light transmissibility for my setup, but, I don't imagine it would be a problem.

I have an Optoma HD72 projector with the 1.4 gain EluneVision screen. It's a good pairing for me because I like to keep a few lights on (usually the 6 pot-lights along the side walls).

oh I know what you mean , but because that you have the screen I thought that you could give me the low down on the material thickness and stuff .

So I called and told them which one I wanted and they sent me a link and I ordered it.

FINALLY, I ordered a screen. I was so sure that I would get the 1.2 white but I opted for the 2.4 pro cinema.

After "doing the math" and making a ton of assumptions (I mean a 100 degree viewing angle is a lot), I figure worst case I'll be getting 1.5 on the wings.

Wish me luck

I did the same today....I was looking HARD at the Da-Lite HP, but the price and features of the new EluneVision Elara series won me over.

Standard with a 3inch Black velvet border, that would cost me over double to duplicate with the Dalite Cinema Contour with Pro-Trim.

The only major downsides I can see are:
1. Screen gain not quite as high as Dalite HP (2.8 vs 2.4)
2. Elunevision screen is not washable.

I can live with that for the price


Anyone in the market for a screen should seriously look at the new EluneVision's

I am close to pulling the trigger. Let us know how these new screens perform. Is the grey the best for DLP?

I have a DLP and I am getting the white.

That would depend on several factors including:

a) your viewing habits; e.g. lights on or off
b) your room colour; e.g. walls, ceilings, flooring
c) your projector and screen size

What's your setup?

It's a dedicated home theater with 100% light control. We watch with lights off. DIY Parkland screen is 120" with curtains on each side. Walls are a light brown. Projector is an old but reliable Infocus X-1 which will probably be kept for two more years (want to replace the family room 37" CRT with a 50" plasma around the holidays so I am cash limited). Want the screen to be "future proof" as possible which means when the 1080p DLPs get cheap enough it will work well with it, as well as the current X-1.

Hey guys, I just picked up the new 92" EluneVision Elara white fixed screen with 1.2 gain as I live about an hour from them to match my Hitachi tx200.

I have my projector mounted from the ceiling and everything looks awesome. It took a little bit to get the screen together yesterday, but it looks great and my wife most importantly loves it. The velvet border looks very classy and adds such a nice touch to our home theater.

I have curtains to the side and top, medium to light colour wall and white ceiling with light controlled room. We watched history of violence in HD, CSI miami and couple other shows and looked great. No noticeable texture or spots in the background or anything, real nice colours and good blacks.

For the price I didn't consider anything else, picture looks great to me and the screen looks like it's worth four times as much.

Sounds nice! Thanks for your review!
What were you using before? Just wondering if there is anything you could compare it to. Its quite hard and frustrating buying a screen!!

I just had painted the wall, but after my wife recently surprised me with curtains as gift I needed to have that professional home theater look. I'll try to take some pictures when I have a chance and when I turn on the projector again.
Any tips for taking picture while PJ is on? Loved to show you guys. I tried during world cup to take shot to show friend but didn't turn out. I have a basic 3.2 Canon camera. Thanks.

Thanks for the updates - I'm in the middle of finishing the theater room in the basement and want to pick out a 92 fixed screen to make sure that I have everything set up correct for the screen placement. I will be using the screen with a Sanyo Z5 (placed about 10/11 feet back - ceiling mounted)

I was wondering if there was a big difference between the new Elunevision High Def Cinema White Gain 1.2 and the Carada Brilliant White Gain 1.4 screen - I will have a 100% light controlled room. The Carada screen is about double the cost. This will be my first projector set-up.

Sure would love to see the pictures of the new screens

Thanks

Hi guy's, as i'm reading this, i'm waiting tomorrow for my new screen, i have ordered the tw600 from eastporters and a 106 " screen old model, gray, i was not impresed at all, sold that and did a blackout clot one same size, picture is fantastic , specialy on toshiba hd dvd a1, after i saw that they got the new screens in i have ordered a 106" pro cinema white 2.4 gain, i will post my impresions, the main reason for ordering this new one is because of the black velvet and 3 plying screen, i will get my screen friday, late, can't wait.

I just took a look at the American site and they have the varities up but not all of the sizes. I think this and a hd dvd player will be my splurge for tax time ( shhh I may replace my bookshelves for floor standers up front too...but thats between you and me)

I noticed this last weekend and contacted Eastporters about it. They are not limiting their products available to the US. They said to use the Canadian version of the site for product information and for pricing us a 1.13 conversion factor.

I looked again today and the various sizes are up.I am anxious to see a couple screen pictures, not the same generic pictures they have had up for their first run of screens. I would especially like a shot of the corners of one of the new frames, to see the velvet and how it looks etc. A screen shot would be fine and dandy but unless they do it with a Z3 in my room its not going to matter much anyway.

I did manage to sell my GWI this week which got me to thinking.I have been trying to find a reason to justify their low prices and somebody mentioned these screens are made at the same location as GW screens. We discussed them being left overs, scraps etc. but I wonder if they aren't just GWI screens repackaged? It would make perfect marketing sense, they have all of this material to do something with.

I really REALLY want to go with a 134" screen but will probably have to do a 120" It falls in pretty well with the projector central calc. but 135 is a little overboard, even at 1.8 gain, I think I need a gray screen, its what I have always had and could not live with the "blacks" from a white screen. I thought about trying a wide angle lens to make the image a little bigger but I think 120" will be just fine...At this price its easy enough to upgrade when we get a larger room.

well i have received the screen just got home, i opened the package, and the first aluminium frame to see the black velvet and , oh my god it is absolutely fantastic, the box is very well packed, i am now going to assemble this baby, will post some screen shots, soon.

which screen did you get?

Well, come on... I don't know what time zone you're in, but you've had at least 40 minutes already. Let's hurry up with those pictures

My screen shows up on Tuesday and "Darn it all to heck!" Im going to be in Utah for work!

Guess I'll have to quit my job.

I got the 106" 2.4-gain screenElune Vision High Definition Vivid Pro-Cinema White

Well good. I NEED to know what you think. My cognitive dissonance is killing me. I'm sure I made a great decision but if you could just confirm that for me... that'd be great

Would you say the screen is retro-reflective or angular reflective
and:
What pj do you have and how is it mounted

if you guys don't mind, please educate me about the different gain parameters. I have a Panny 900U. I want to get a 134" fixed frame screen, but don't know what "gain" I need. I thought gain 1.0 or 1.2 was good enough.

Thanks,

i have taking some pics, (the velvet looks very Rich, )
but with the flash on it looks with a lot of white pigments in it,

try this guy's but those pics are not doing anu justice, reality is far more better.
as i've said those white pigments are only with the flash.the black of the velvet is very black, rich , beautiful
