I have ordered a Da-lite High Contrast Cinerma Vision cut to size screen material. But when I open the box, I found that the screen has lots of wrinkles (due to poor shipping handling I guess). Will it still be flat when I mount to my DIY frame with high tension? Or anyone has other good idea?


My screen is 72" X 40.5" and I will DIY just like this:

I think you should return it. My HCCV has minor scuffs, but with

the gain on the screen they show as seriously annoying marks.

Your screen has even more damage than mine...

I got the same material but with the CSR Pull Down version. Mine dose not look that bad but, it has big waves going across. My wife says it looks like a fingerprint in the middle of the screen. I got in touch with Da-Lite and they are sending my another. Good Luck


You might PM "Blake Brubaker - Da-Lite" He is from Da-Lite and very helpful

I ordered from Cousin's Video but not directly from Da-lite. And since Cousin's Video doesn't accept international order, I asked my friend in US to order and send it to me. That makes my case complicated. Any suggestion?

I've had horrible experiences with Da-Lite screens and their customer service and am now looking at the Vu-tec as an alternative to the higher priced stewart instead. As for your problem, you might (I haven't tested this) be able to mount it on your frame and use a low powered hair dryer while pulling it tight. I've succesfully done this with other types of vinyl. Good Luck.

Ah, use low powered hair dryer. That's a good idea. I'll try.


Thanks NickB.

May I know how much you paid?

 

[MorpheusSzeto]

HK$1,100 for the screen material only. Size is 78" X 46"

The low powered hair dryer works. Problem solved.


By the way, I use "Magic Tape" (what we call it here in HK) to stick the screen to the frame. And I can pull the screen very tight using this method.
