Finished doing my LT150 clear segment blackout today. For any who havent tried it yet, it really is very simple and easy to do.
Trouble was I plugged the projector in tonight and started to watch a movie and there was a smudge of grey in the top right of the screen. Now the rational part of my brain was saying "Dont worry its just a dust blob" but my irrational half was saying, "Ah crap, what have I done". I did a quick search here and noticed a couple of people had similar episodes.
Anyways, back off with the cover and a quick vaccuming of the inspection port with the household vaccum cleaner and the spot was all gone, not a trace. Seems like either taking the cover off increases the chance of dust or perhaps the blackput of the clear segment shows up previous dust more clearly. Anyways I thought it was just worth mentioning that people doing this mod might want to keep in mind that they may have to do a quick clean also.
As for the results of the mod, hard to say at this point. The jury is out until I get a chance to watch a few favourites.
Btw thanks to Dennis for the loan of his marker.
One thing I can say at this point is that the image, projected off my cream wall looks fantastic. Cant wait till my 2.2gain Da-lite screen arrives on Tuesday. Only thing Im nervous about is the fact that my lt150 is ceiling mounted, and the high gain is supposedly for table mount. Personally I cant see how this makes any difference. Anyone using a high gain screen with a ceiling mount have any problems?
