Really hope I did this right.


Heard about something referred to as "screen burn-in", and decided to attempt to burn in my new Firehawk.


Was quite excited to begin, so didn't bother searching the forum for instructions/recommendations/techniques, just decided to wing it.


This process really did a lot for the edges of the picture, they display quite beautifully. The center of the picture has an 'airiness' to it, the picture almost seems to float right through the screen.


Will email detailed instructions upon request.

Haven't I seen this screen before? Did you borrow it from Q?


Okay, now I get it! You really work for Stewart Filmscreen and you want to show off the new FIREhawk II screen, right?

JetLag,



Did you have to apply any kind of special Contact cleaner of some sort? I hear that can make a world of difference. Something with lots of of alcohol will do. The higher the proof, the cleaner the burn. It seems that that you havent completey gotten rid of the halo effect yet. Might need a little longer burn in time to reach the edges.


Good Luck.

Careful Jetlag, someone may try to do this without getting instruction from you first and burn their house down as a result...

I have a cable burn-in machine I'd be willing to lend you. The screen would become so transparent you'd think you were seeing a hologram.

What really made the difference in my HT is the projector lenses "burn-in". It appears that the minolta lenses on the Marantz projector have some distortion (you actually need a burned-in firehawk to notice that). You need to burn-in the lenses by projecting a very bright picture (don't forget to use high bright on mode), for 5 hours. This also help the flickering...

Jetlag, I forgot to mention that when you do screen burn-in, that you have to make sure that the bulb is set to "low". I hope it's not too late...

Jetlag... is it true...that you can also roast marshmellows as you do your burn-in? Ron AZ
