Is Screen Innovations worth the $$$$$

I have the epson 8500ub and am looking for a screen, about 100", and I am looking at the lunar gray hd, .85 gain. My walls are a dark red and white ceilings, the room size is 25x35 as this is also my family room. I can control light really well also. I can get the screen for about $1500 which is about the most I want to spend on a screen but am more concerned with quality over price, I can spend more if I need to. I also will sit about 14 ft back from screen. Thanks for any help.

Lunar gray may not be your best choice.

That's a bright projctor, if it's a family room and you want some lights on you may want to look at the Black Diamond II.

Cool, but could I buy a fixed frame version or do I need to buy it in bulk and make a frame myself?

Is something like a Carada not high-end enough?

Quick answer is, Yes.


Not only will a SI black diamond screen improve your brightness but your color accuracy will be greatly improved by eliminating the color bleed onto the screen from your colored walls.
