Foggy Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 I just came across this interesting innovation during one of my surfing sessions. Rather than having a border attached to the screen, the whole wall behind the screen is a black velour, and the screen floats 20 - 50 mm in front. It certainly looks very stylish (especially with the backlighting), but I'm not sure about it's effectiveness. Has anyone seen one in action? Link to PDF brochure with pictures of the screen

They shine coloured lights on the screen, but apart from side masking, there is no front house curtains, so the screen is the main feature... Mark

Tweet Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 I put up 'flat black' painted paneling behind the curved screen I use, in fact the whole room is black with drapes .... even the speakers. Only the screen shows up in a photo without flash. Not everyone's cup of tea but at least I can watch movies a midday in complete darkness, and it is true the screen becomes 'a window' into another world without any distractions of one's surroundings. Mind you, complete darkness can 'spook' some women the first time you switch off the lights,my projector and equipment are in another room .... I project through the adjacent wall to the screen. I must synchronize my operations quicker.......but it is amazing how dark a light controlled room can be when walking into it from the natural light. I am now trying to fathom out 'light traps' to minimize light reflection by using parallel and angled drapes (to the screen). There is always improvements to be made somewhere. C.M
