My current screen is a 112" screen made from blackout cloth. I'm very happy with the performance of the screen. However, what I'm not happy with is the sound of my front 3 speakers, do the limitations imposed by having a non-AT screen. I'm thinking of buying some SeymourAV material and remaking my screen, and then placing the speakers behind it.


I want to make sure the image quality on the screen is going to be at least as good as the blackout cloth, and hopefully better. I don't want to improve my audio just to have my video degrade.


If anyone has done side by side comparisons or something similar, let me know.

Bueller?


Nobody has compared the two?

I just moved from a blackout screen to the material used in the Centre Stage screens. I've only watched 1 movie on it so far, but it is as good or better.


That said, my blackout was painted a while back and that was an improvement and then the painted blackout was replaced last night.


Gain should be around 1.16. I would guess the blackout I used was 0.9 - 0.95, after painting it was supposed to be around 1 (based on the paint I used).


Anyhow, not a definitive statement backed up by numbers but I had the previous screen for 7 years and I wasn't able to complain about the picture I watched last night. I was quite pleased, though need more time with it to draw any conclusions. (I still haven't moved the speakers behind it, nor put any light absorbing material / paint behind it either).

Thanks for the reply. This was the sort of sanity check I was looking for.
