EluneVision screens - Page 6

Cool. I think I get the idea.

Well much like everything else in FP, it is all about you. If you think the 1.0 or 1.2 would be good enough, you're probably right.

I am going with the 2.4 gain because I am at the top of my lumens and I don't want to kick on up the lamp to high output.

I've heard people says things equating a high gain screen to a new/brighter lamp.

i just unpack the screen , it has glass beads on it, very bright, i'm just taking the time to put this together,the manual could be better, also there is no confirmation on the package that i have received the screen that i have ordered, i guess trust is one of the factors.
i will be using with this an Epson TW 600 , ordered from the same place, and the Pj is ceiling mounted.

well i have just finished , first impresions are that is more bright then my blackout cloth, also the colours are more vibrant, overall i am very pleased with it, , will do the calibration again tomorrow, for the money it is very good P Q

Hey octogon, nice pics. My frame looks exactly the same and the velvet is beautiful. You're definitely right, pics don't do justice. The velvet is perfectly black, those white specs are from flash on camera, the velvet is perfectly smooth and black all around and fits perfect around frame. Furthermore, I did forget to mention that everything is packed perfectly, so I wouldn't worry about anything there. Still haven't used PJ, maybe in next day or two I can get a pic of screen if camera co-operates.

thanks , also last night after looking more careful, i have seen a black spot on the right hand corner close to the bottom, i have mailed them to see how they will solve the problem, have not tried yet to wash that, i now it is not washable, after i have seen that you tent to look for it all the time, i still have to hang the screen today, and do the calibration, but this screen if brighter then the blackout cloth, i had the blackout cloth screen hanged and put the new one under it, so i had half the image on one screnn and the other half on the other, the difference is quite abit, as the colours are more vibrant, they come more to life, some buildings in batman begins are grey on the old one, they apear very bright white on the new one, very happy with it , except that black spot on the right hand, and no i did have no grease on my hands when i put this togehter, also on the back of the screen, they were a dozen of hand prints that you can see very well, the back of the screen is black, i have to wait to see about the answer and i will let you know, all the best.

Man o Man, I go to bed early and sleep for 12 hours and miss all sorts of "hot action" Looking good guys!

I have to admit, i just got an e-mail from eastporters, that states they will send me a new material on monday, this is fantastic service, and customer service, i have sent them the picture with the black spot as well, i will take this out and wait for the new one.

Also i forgot to mention, that i had to shake the frame a bit , it had a lot of black dust inside, and after i had all assembled i stoled one of those sticky lint rolers and run it over the velvet , man it looks amazing, now just have to wait for the new screen.

While we are all entitled to our stories and opinions, this entire thread is full of "happy stories".

If you wouldn't mind some pictures and some specifics, two things would happen:

First, you'd look a little more credible
But two, I'd love the input.

So be a sport and give some detail: Size, screen material, when did you buy it, etc.

Do not buy this inferior product from EluneVision (Eastporters). Yes, it's cheap but save yourself the aggrivation of screw holes that don't line-up, stitches that come apart, important plastic parts that easily break. The company will send you new parts if they break but who is to say it won't break again one or two years from now when this company goes out of business. Enough said.

Visual2o, back yourself up.. WHY?

Somebody once told me not to buy Hyundai because they were cheap, my first was an Accent, after 140,000 miles I traded in for an Elantra and have almost 80,000 on it and all I have had to replace so far was a clutch on the Accent but I had never driven a stick before.

So come on with all of your wisdom, why not.Oh, and if you want to be paid attention to, don't troll the thread and type in some new material instead of the same thing over and over in.

By no means I am saying this to make a comercial for the east porters, sure , problems can occur, I can atest to that but the customer service that i have received from them is by far one of the best, and i'm sure i'm not the only one, also i have noticed that price just went up on the model that i have bought.

Re: Visual20 ... a new member who uses 5 posts to say the same thing. Hmmm, that's not too suspicious.

Do not feed this troll.

Well said Dragon.

Are there any screen shots of the new screens yet? More specifically, any screen shots using a Z3, calibrated just like mine with just under 400 hours... in my room?

Well, by next week I can post pics of the 106" 2.4 white screen with a Z3. Although I have 5000+ hours on my bulb

How did you get that many hours out of a Z3? Is there any picture left?

in a rush and couldnt read the whole thread but where can I purchase this is I was interested?

Well here are the pictures for those who just want to see pictures

Here is the story:

So it finally arrived! Well, it only felt like "finally". I think total time was about a week. I ordered the 135" 2.4 gain white.

The product is packaged well and I took my time opening all the parts because that is what I do.

Assembly was a little taxing as there are things you need to do that aren't in the instructions. For starters the tensioning screws part of the instructions read "7 in the long side and 5 in the short side" but for this screen it is 10 in the long side and 6 in the short side. I realized I had "extras" and unrolled the screen to see how many holes were in the border. It was a good thing I did.

Speaking of the screen, it has an odor to it that lingers for awhile. If you are sensitive to smells, open a window.

Another little tidbit that is not in the instructions (actually I think this is in the instructions it just might be translated poorly) is the use of some small hex nuts that are inserted into the frame. They will eventually be to hang the screen with. They also act as more reinforcement for the corners.

Soeaking of the corners be careful with the corner braces. They are plastic and will break. I know. I broke one. There are about three reasons why I didn't breakdown and cry and scream and call Eastporters for another one. First, I broke it. Second the corners are also held together by the metal plates and by the sheer tension of the screen. And lastly, I didn't want to wait for another one to show up. In that regard, I was a little impatient.

The corner bracing does, however, leave a lot to be desired. The pre-drilled holes in the aluminum of the frame are designed to line up with metal inserts in the plastic. It is simple: You place the corner braces in the frame and then screw it all together with allen-head bolts.

If I have any advice to give you: Skip this step. The corner braces are just that: braces. Trying to line up the holes with the braces was tedious and downright difficult. For the most part I simply strong-armed the bolts into the inserts since they weren't lining up perfectly. I ended up breaking one of the corner braces because I tried to pull one side out. It was clearly my fault. Torque is a killer... a killer! But as I thought about it the screen is going to ultimately hold the frame together.

edit: So to be clear, insert the corner braces but don't screw them in.

So then after you get the frame all done, it is time for the screen material. Or course you have to roll it out and insert nice long rods into it. I only bring this step up because you need lots of space. Be sure you have room to actually do this. I also disliked this step because as you are pushing the rod through the pocket, it likes to come up through the slits (holes) for the tensioning screws.

So then you slide the tensioning screws into place so that they line up with the slits in the screen material. Then you tighten them. The actual instructions read something like "tighten until there are no waves or wrinkles. This is actually a step I screwed up on. I jut kept tightening and tightening and the middle of my long rails bows a little.

There are these long plastic strips and corners that are about 1/2 an inch thick that aren't mentioned in the instructions. They are designed to hide the tensioning bolts. They "snap" into a small groove in the back of the frame. The corners didn't line up at all. Luckily the mounting plates also screw into the corners and do a fine job of holding the corners down.

So then I called a friend to help me hang it on the wall and I was done. The end.


It is nice being able to watch my projector with lights on. it is a vast improvement from the wall. The screen is clearly retro-reflective. If I stand up on my couch the image is brighter. Not so much so that I think I need to raise my seating, though. The fall off from the seated position to literally anywhere in the downstairs in non-existant. It basically looks the same everywhere. Including standing at the wall the screen is on. I realize this wouldn't be true for projectors that are sitting on a table or that are closer to eye height.

Anyway, great "bang for the buck" and all that. There are some instances while you are putting this thing together where you will be thinking "Oh yeah this is a budget screen". But if you take your time and pay close attention to everything I did wrong, you'll like the finished product very much.

Very nice, refresh my memory, what sort of projector is that on? You said its the 2.4 white screen, right? How are black levels on that?

Well, : puts on holier than thou voice : I have a DLP projector: PE700

Actually, it is clear that the blacks are brighter but I think the ceiling mounting actually helps this. I do plan oh re-AVIA-ing to see if I can get it blacker without making a whole lot less brighter.

Thanks for the review! I think I may go with one of these!

just bought this in 106"

:thumbs up:

Be sure to tell us your install story!

definetly, I cant wait to get everything hooked up

Has anyone ordered the manual pull down screen? If so, could you post some comments/opinions on these screens?

Thanks!

I really have to add this:

The Eastporters guys are a class act. Aside from answering all of my annoying phone calls "Hey when are the new screens gonna be in" and "Hey what are the new screeens gonna be like" and "hey how much are the new screens gonna be?' and at least a dozen more phone calls...

Today while watching the Rutgers/Louisville game, I noticed an odd defect in the screen. It's tough to describe.. so I won't It's like the reflective material is "dented". Now this is the most expensive screen they sell.

They are going to send me new material.

Wow. Class Act. No hoopla. No hoops for that matter.

If you are the fence about these guys, don't be. Get off of your fence and order the freakin' screen/projector/whatever. Do it. The internet is always open.

Any Sparkles, noise, or visible texture to the screen?

I don't have any sparklies or visible texture. I am not sure what "noise" would look like so I must not have any.

If I approach the screen so that I am less than a foot away I can see the sparklies. But I think this is related to being way off axis.

Hi, guy's my new replacement screen has come in , i have to pick that up tomorrow, Tony, before this i had a blackout cloth screen, I left the old one up and just lean the new one 2.4 gain white, against it , i was using batman HD dvd for test, there is a scene where they show a building in the city, well with blackout cloth the building was kind of grey in comparison with the new screen where it apears white, and the colours are more vibrant and they come to life, i was very very hapy with my old screen until i have seen this.
