Another 6 weeks gone by. Any news on the new mounting option?

Please check your PMs.

Started putting my screen together and the directions mention a 24x24 screen material to test for moiré, which is missing from the box.

Screen Material: CineWeave HD
Gain: White Matte Plus
Model: PL-90-178-CW-W

Projector: Epson 8500 UB


Wondering if moiré is a non factor because the test material is missing?? Or if I should rotate the screen just incase.

Hi Erick,

Please check your PMs.

Ruben if you don't have the PO yet it will be in Monday morning (it was late Friday for BigMouthinDC).

We no longer include the sample piece of screen because testing is no longer required. The testing was for the previous generation of the CineWeave screen surface, the current CineWeave does not require testing. Please bypass the testing section section in the manual. We are updating the new manuals and will include this updated information in the reprints.

Ruben

Ruben:

So miore is no longer an issue? With all different types of projectors? Does the overstock screen that I ordered this weekend include this new material?

Did the entry level screen mentioned a year and a half ago ever go into full production?

Yes, the full details of them will be on our new website. You can also email us for details as well.

Hello all. I wanted to chime in on my recent purchase of an SMX screen. I bought one of the AVS overstock items and couldn't be happier. At first i was a little disappointed when my screen arrived only to find one of the T-Splines missing from the packaging. A quick email into Laurie (AVS) and Ruben (SMX) and a replacement was here the next day. Upon arrival i set to work to put this baby together. It wasn't as bad an assembly as i thought it would be. It went together nicely thanks to the detailed instructions. I opted for the ProPanels also. Simply said, the screen is stunning...and without having time to calibrate my projector yet. We are truly satisfied with the end result.

I want to thank Laurie and Ruben for making this happen. It is much appreciated.

Where in Oregon can a SMX screen be auditioned? Local B&M stores never heard of the brand........which made me very skepical on their expertice concerning cinema screens.

I know there is an individual who purchased an SMX screen in Dallas, Oregon.......my home town............but the guy never returned my PM. I know, kind of creepy for someone to PM asking about their screen.

Anyhow, I'm vaccilating back and forth between the SMX CIH, Stewart Cine-V, or Carada CIH masking paired with a fixed screen from the two fore mentioned manufacturers.............

Acoustic transparent screen would be a bonus..........but I'm worried about the video aspect as my eye sight is deteriorating with age!!!

I also Jumped in on the overstock sale and the screen definitely lives up the praise I've read over the years. Very well built almost too heavy. No problems with Moire and my Planar 8150 DLP.

Before: 100 inch diagonal 16:9



After: SMX, Same height but 2.37

Now we're talking ! Awesome job on HT2.0, your build has always been one of my favorites to follow. Your attention to detail is outstanding.

Ruben

For some lucky DIYer out there...posted a roll/lot of SMX screen (material only) in the AVS Classifieds section. Brand New! 110"+ diag Save a ton if you have or build a frame.

2.35:1 or 2.37:1?

Hey Ruben,

Back along, while I was framing out my stage, you mentioned that you would have me go with a 2.37:1 ProCurv, but I noticed that on your website, it only mentions 2.35:1 as a "standard" size. When I order from Jason this week, am I right to say I want to order the 110" ProCurv 40' 2.37:1? I saw item codes for nearly every other aspect ratio except for the 2.37:1. I framed for this screen, so I sure hope this is still a "standard" size offered.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Yes, we still offer 2.37:1 as a standard anamorphic aspect ratio. The model number of the screen you want is the PC40-110-237-CW-W if you are ordering it with the CineWeave acoustically transparent screen surface, or PC40-110-237-CMP-W if you are doing the solid CineMatte Plus screen surface. If you are ordering a different screen surface than what is above, please let me know and I will get you the proper model number.

Best regards,
Ruben

Did you paint the room when you got a new screen?

Just kidding Big.

Guys I recently ordered the Grey Screen material.. should I have gone withe the matte white?

My projector: LG CF181D

I chose the grey material to improve the black levels of the projector. I also would like to improve the performance of the projector in ambient light situations. If the grey will not do either of these for me. I probably will go with the higher gain white material.

Did I make the right decision on material? (Its not too late to change I think)

Any SMX guys here? I sent you guys an email looking for a price about a week ago, but no response...

Hello rbeckhorn,

It sounds like a grey screen will be in your best interest to meet your requirements.

Best
Ruben

Please check your PMs.

Best,
Ruben

Hey Ruben can you fix the links to the pics in your build thread please? Quite a few of us are trying to look at them for reference.

Thanks

With the bulk of this thread referring to the CineWeave material, does anyone have any experience with the Matte White (1.4 Gain) material? (Is that called CineMatte?)

I was looking at a Carada screen, but I think at some point I read that their 1.4 Gain material really wasn't quite 1.4, but more like 1.15 or something. Any such issues with SMX?

Anyone want to push me over the edge and recommend the SMX screen?

Swancoat if you are going with theater plans you posted in Feb you don't need an acoustically transparent screen. I really like my SMX screen. Contact AVS to buy your SMX screen they have a sale going on.

Right, BMiDC. My concern was just that there was so little info out there on the non-AT screens, I was looking for more of a review. Everyone's got an AT SMX it seems.

Regardless, the rep is pretty strong, so I ordered one of the discounted screens. These forums and their members are a huge help in making decisions like this. Thanks all!
