Laminate Screens Showcase - Page 5

Clarence,

That's the best screenshot I've seen! The picture quality and colors are phenomenal!!!

Thanks. Those are with my old camera. I haven't looked at those screenshots in a while... I'd forgotten how nice they turned out.

These more recent screenshots are with my new camera:

I'm in Chicago this week. I brought my XTi with me and I'll be at Cliff's meet this weekend. His G90 stack is literally twice as good as my single G90, so I hope to take some great screenshots at his place. You should come to Cliff's meet... he's right across the Indiana state line.

I saw your new screenshots and it's awesome!!! I love the texture of hippo's skin. I want to get a G90 too but it's so beyond my budget.

I'll check my schedule. I'll pm him too! Thanks.

I posted some pictures of my laminate screen in this thread that I had started (regarding doing a theater room in an unfinished basement):

I'll take some higher resolution screen-only pics for this thread later on.... perhaps from a HD DVD source, Transformers maybe?

IF you guys really want to have images like Clarence's, its very simple.

Step 1: go to www.sony.com
Step 2: pull out your visa/mastercard (with a 5000$ credit limit)
Step 3: Order the G90 CRT.

( maybe after my tax return ill have one w00t)
lol.

good work dude

Clarence, I must say that I am shocked by the images you posted. These are amazing pictures, I am sure you have heard a lot of it. But I am really surprised that the picture can be that great!

I am quite interested in laminate option, I want to build the screen. But I also have an option to buy Draper Cineparm HiDef Grey or White Matte material. Which option is a better one? Of course material is double expensive then laminate, but will I get that quality enhancement? Also, I would have to cut 106" down to 92" and I have been replied to that I'd rather not do it. So, I either have to use laminate or Cineperm 92" 1300. Went to Home Depot and wanted to get some test chips for Fashion Grey, but they did not have any, I can only order the whole sheet with no returns.

Hello ,

I hope this Thread is still seeing some action .
I'm curious , did you have to "coat" your Fashion Gray Laminate or is it natural?

Thanks ,

Scott...................

'Natural,' no coating has been applied.

Thanks ! That's good news . I'd like to keep the whole process as simple as possible .

I see that everyone is ordering the sheets in standard sizes . Will WilsonArt or Home Depot not cut them to specific dimensions ?

Scott...................

No they will not cut them. However, it is very easy to score with a carpenters knife and then a "clean snap" will do it.

Thanks Rastan ,

That's good news . I've been trying to think where I was going to unroll this thing and then run a circular saw along it all the time trying to keep the dust down . One long , slow , scribe and then...snap and I'm done . Cool !

Scott...............

I am trying to decide between Designer White and Fashion Gray. I have a light colored room, but I'm worried that if I choose FG, I will loose vibrancy of color. Anyone with Fashion Gray, could you please post some screenshots?

Mine doesn't look as good as some of you others, but I still feel that for a first PJ attempt and frist DIY screen it came off pretty good. Here are a few pics:

The system with and without grills:





Some screen shots (compressed for upload). I couldn't get them quite right as it looks better in person with much less hot spotting.
















And with lights on:

just put up a DW last night and all I can say is WOW. 120" diagonal 16x9 with epson 8100 about 12.5' away. Man does it look great. My wife could not believe it. This is my first pj so I dont know what it would look like on a more expensive "real" screen, but I honestly don't care. This thing is so bright, and the colors are so vivid it looks as if I have a huge plasma on the wall and the pj is uncalibrated straight out the box. I now run the pj on theater 1 with the lamp in eco mode. Can't wait to watch some football on this baby. I will take some pics soon and post. I hung it up with mirror/picture frame hangers and so far so good.
