Thread: About projector fixed screen

I use Stewart Screens in my home and installations. You can get pretty much whatever you want from 16:9 screens to 2.4 screens with variable masking. A little more, but about the best out there for residential installations.

I love this blk diamond but goes over the screen… NOT screen itself ,and is very pricey to buy screen and put this on top
Existing screen u already bought! is like double dip…if it was just screen itself might I think about it.

Not quite. They use a retractable screen for dramatics. But you're still looking at 2600 for a 100" 16:9 screen. Stewart Firehawk runs 1600 for a 100" screen.

Does the Firehawk screen absorb light similar to the Black Diamond?

One thing to remember with a FP in a room besides lighting control is room treatment. That will make as much of a difference as a screen. White is not good in a FP HT setup. Light reflects off of the screen and onto the walls and back onto the screen. A dark color (flat paint) is best. My HT room is burgundy. I would take care of all of that before doing the setup.

There are different gains depending on the lighting. In a completely lit room Black Diamond is nice. Not really necessary in a controlled lighting situation. Proper room treatment can take care of the rest.

I was more concened (or should I be?) with relfection off of the screen onto the ceilings and walls. My walls are badge with white celings. The plus side is that I can control the light in the room. Total darkness if need be.
