From the advice from these boards I went for the Da-lite high gain screen for my LT150. Even though its ceiling mounted and the retroreflective nature means less gain, everyone still says it was the best.
Ordered it from my local HT place, what was delivered was actually a different brand. One called Screen Technics. Its a 2.2 gain retroflective on a vinyl screen. Looked fine when the projector was on the coffee table, but once installed properly in the ceiling now looks nothing short of terrible. I seriously believe that projecting on the cream wall looked better. The trouble is that the vinyl is not smooth, it is full of indentations for lack of a better word, or grooves. Every single one of these shows up when watching a movie and gives the film a grainy look. My 5th element superbit went from being WOW, to ah crap.
Now the da-lite doesnt do this does it? I just read a post on this page about another chap with ceiling mounted lt150 that loved his. I am talking with the guy where I bought it from, and they are getting me in touch with the screen technics guys to see what we can do.
The chap I bought it from says he was told this screen is exactly the same as the da-lite. Is this anything like what you guys with the da-lite get? Just want to see where I stand between what I ordered and what I got. Also if there are any solutions to my problem.
This is posted on the screens and projector forums for the hope of a good response. Forgive the multiple posts.
Thanks.
