Projection screen material
Discussion
fellows.. can anyone here point me at a good (& cheap please!) supplier of projection material? PLan is to make a light, timber frame , 4 foot x 3 foot, then nail some decent relfection screen to it.
This I'll hook to the ceiling as & when. Dont want a permanent screen in the ceiling (missus would go spare)

Damn - I think I had an old projector screen at my flat. I've probably thrown it out - if not it's in Camberley and you could have it for nowt. It was starting to look jaded on the outside but the screen material was in reasonable nick!
Are you VW-ing on Sunday?
I'm best-manning tomorrow so Sunday's written off I'm afraid. Cheers for offer though B

Does anybody know where you can get those screens that hang from the ceiling with wire, and have weights at the bottom?

Damn it's tempting to shell out for some of the high power material. Min order 1 metre = £123 min. Best not (something to do with 'all these other things we need to get first ' from mrs Edt)

it's * finally * happening.. got some decent kit, cables & a room to set it all up in. However, I still need the screen .So as advised here am looking at
www.drhscreens.co.uk/screenfabric.html
Can anyone can tell me if DRH's standard 'matt white fabric 100% fibrelgass laminated with PVC' will be a good improvement on my matt white(ish) wall, or do I need to for their 'high power 1:3.2 gain' stuff ????
thanks all!

oh tomtom great thanks Phill got the postcodes to work now (thanks to another fellow PHer)
I worked for a company that makes Flight Sim display systems, until I was ejected post 9/11.
For their fixed, non mirror displays they used a curved GRP surface painted with a specialist emulsion paint. As I understand it, they had paint made to suit, but unless one tested it with a specialist meter it wasn't possible to tell the difference between the special paint and Dulux matt emulsion.
Edited to add;
It was pure brilliant white!

Sorry if that information is a bit late!

Spent the evening attaching to the wall (plaster board with red brick behind found it quite a challenge DIY not my forte!)
The difference in brightness between the wall & the screen isnt huge.. though as it's pure white the colours are great from my DLP proj (went for the basic material not the high gain stuff) and rolls away nice & neatly
