Hi all,

Maybe a few of you can enlighten me. I have placed my order for a Vutec silverstar 3d-p screen, the Vutec passive screen will need to be curved about 40 degrees as that's the only way it comes.


I was planning to add a Panny ae7000 when it releases, the projector will be all they way back at around 26-27'. The reason it's so far back is the ultra high gain for this screen.


Now, without going A-lens, will I have issues such as pin cushioning, sound reflection etc.


Room is 27x20x8.5

Screen 138" 2.35:1


Thanks

Tom

Is is for a 3D system?

Why does it 'have' to be curved?


The rule is simply - no A-Lens, no curve. If you do, you get barreling.


If the screen is not AT, yes you could get sound reflections as well.

Thanks for the quick response. Vutec's passive 3d screen is curved, only way it comes.


Just wanted to future proof the screen in case passive wins over active.


I will cancel my order and go back to a flat screen.

There are other reasons for a curved screen and a reason theirs is only avail curved.


CAVX's rule is his own, incorrect. Speak to Vutec, they will help.

Wouldn't you need a special lens in order to keep the focus correct at the edges when you use a curved screen? It would seem that the focus would be out at the edges compared to the center

How do you not get barrel effect if using a curved screen with a projector that does not have an A-lens?

You do get some barrel with a curved screen and no lens. The amount depends on the installation details. My point was that there are are other reasons to use a curved screen, particularly for the screen being discussed. I have a curved screen and the reason for it had maybe 10% to do with pincushion correction. Again, I'll leave it to Vutec to explain.
