I am in a situation where I cannot put up a screen for a few months. I can however PAINT the wall ANY WAY I like.
I am painting the entire room in the next week or so (dedicated HT room with 1 window with mylar backed window covering so 100% light control).
I am planning on painting the majority of the room including the ceiling a dark burgundy red color. I am going to mask the front (projected upon) wall with black velvet fabric with the exception of the screen portion. I will eventually get a screen, but for now can only augment the image with paint.
I was always going to go with Behr Ultra White flat paint with suggestions I have heard on this forum.
What about some sort of grey paint though? Something more in line with the grey screens that are touted for LCD and DLP projectors (projector information below).
Just curious if anyone has had the opportunity to do side by side comparison of ultra white vs. grey screen with paint :^) Long shot, but do you KNOW how many people read this forum LOL!!
My projector is currently a Boxlight XP-60m (similar to the XP-5) and has a brightness of 1100 ANSI Lumens and a rated contrast of 400:1.
Thanks,
Shawn
