and ill give an example of foot lamberts. my screen is 100"
so its h is 53" and w is 85" 53*85= 4505 then 4505/144= 31.28 round down to 31 and my lumens is 300ansi so 300/31= 10fl you want to stay between 12 and 16. and in my case is just used a diy paint solution that added a 2.0 gain.
just go to this site "projectorcentral" com (it wont let me put a link, and it will tell you how far your projector need to be from the screen to make the size you want.
also another thing to take into account is foot lambert how bright your picture will be at the distance your pj will be, to figure that out. you multiply the (h*w)/144= ? then take how many lumens your pj is 1000ansi/what the number that came out in the first equation. make sure to round up or down.
he said he used some sort of vinyl. myself i used thrifty white hardboard. you can get it from home depot in the wall panel section it comes in 8' x 4' foot pieces. the biggest screen you can get from one is a 98" screen.
if you'd like to check a site that offers alot of information google (since it wont let me post link) "avs diy screens" alot of good solid info.
how much would you say it weighs all together like that? im trying to make one for my apartment, i want to have it hang from the ceiling , thanks and good job on that
thx 4 the vid! I own an hd65 for 2 years now. This machine is a true bargain. it is a delite to watch movies and play xbox360 with it! don't worry about 720p. most people can't tell any difference anyhow .
The best material to use is called black out fabric. It is the same fabric a lot of photographers use. I will not let any light through the back of the screen. I just built a 100" screen with this fabric and it looks VERY NICE. It was $14.99 for the fabric.
Great screen but I hate to see that you used blackout cloth. Real projection screen material is either made of PVC or fiberglass coated in PVC. You may like to look into ProScreens at BuildYourOwnProjectionScreen com I have found that they are the best projection screen material companies out there.
so what do i need to build a screen i seen u got the wood is it a whole sheet of duck cloth and if so how do u attach the vinyl to the duck sheet as for the vinyl is it just plain white with no lines.
hey isn't that too high when gaming? your neck might hurt-since we play online games 4to8hours :D actually your projector should stand or place 90 degree flat & straight, so you screen will sit on perfect level like you see on flat screen tv stand or table, height shouldn't be higher than those table- all i did was bought a very gud quality of white paint and painted on my room wall and ceiling with measured-u dont have to make those crappy screens lol btw urs nice good job
You did a greeeaaat job.. but there is one problem... IM VERY JEALOUS! I dont even hav a projector but my dream is to make a Home Theater out of my room! YOU LUCKY, LUCKY PERSON...
duck cloth and vinyl? Are you kidding me? What is the gain of your screen? Did you do any research? Contrary to popular belief, there are huge differences in screens. And certain screens look much better with particular projectors. If not, you could simply go to JC Penney when they have their next "white sale" and hang a bed sheet. I'll grant you that high quality screens are pretty much useless with cheap projectors.
Projector screens start at about $120, Where did you get a thousand dollars from? go to NexTag(dot)com and type: Manual Pull Down Projection Screen - 72" X 96" - Matte White - they arent that expensive and for your information, Grey material works extremely better than white.... Put some sweats up in front of the screen and see how brite it is on the grey.
Nice I purchased the Duck Cloth material at Hobby Lobby, for a screen 8x4 for $20, and it made a nice screen. Thanks for the great money saving idea. Keep up the good work.
Nice vid, but your room isn't 15 feet across, it's maybe 12 at most, my room is 12x10, and I have like, a third more room than it seems you do in yours, i have a full sized bed, a FULL sized computer desk, and a 42 inch tv, and i have room for several people to lay down on the ground.
@cmoneygold your a stupid TROLL go get raped in prison you bitch!!!!!!! this person took the time to make a video so you can witch it!!!!!! i hope you get burned by a bunch of crazy people >:O I HATE TROLLS!
hey Miles, what type of fabric did you use, I got my projector , the screen size (wood frame) Im just lost on the fabric issue. Can you recomend something?
I just made one like this which measures about 9' long, by about 7' high. Which measured diagnally is 130".
It took me probably about 5-10 hours to make the frame, put the screen on the frame, and put the outside frame on it.
It was about $100.00 or a little more, but it looks awesome. I bought a cheap projector after doing research, and it looks like a 130" tv its really clear.
For the tv i have a the cable box connected to the sound system and for the xbox 360 i have both hdmi and av cable connected the av cable is connected to the soundsystem also
hey wasup , im about building a 110'' screen projector but im just not relly sure what kind of material ? it's possible i can find a material for this size ?
A much better material is MDF-plate (wood). It is very smooth and VERY cheap. Then you paint it with grey/white depending on what kind of projector you will use.
This will result in much smoother and accurate picture.
thats awesome man. what kind of projector is that miles? and can you show it with the lights off/at night. i'd like to see the full clarity of the picture..thanks.
hey can u tell me step by step how to do the screen.. it looks very nice i like it... i wanna get one but i dont have that kinda money for it...can u tell me wat kind of fabric or wat ever u use... thank you very much.. looking forward to see ur reply..
I don't understand how the projector works with the screen =[. We're thinking of building a screen as well, and purchasing an HD projector. Do you focus the projector to fill up the screen. If so, where do the black letter boxes go? I never see any letter boxes when people have their screens! This is all so confusing lol and I really want to get this home theater down. Can you tell me how it all works?
i recommend you get the projector first so you can figure out how big of a image you want. Then measure the image. Then get the wood. It is easier than you think, What black boxes. And you can zoom in and out to make the image fit the screen.
I went to bestbuy and they had one setup,it looked like total crap. I attribute that to bestbuy and not the projectors performance. Their was one at BB this past weekend open box for 500 and I almost bought it but the display was so horrible I didn't but your video is making me want to go get it right now. The only thing I'm worried about is brightness. What brightness mode do you have it on? Is that the brightest setting?
