Difference between screen and plain textured wall Optoma HD66

FINALLY got around to building my projector screen and it's a big fucking difference. Way bigger than i thought it would be. So for anyone on the fence about projecting onto a wall vs getting/building a screen, go for the screen. It's like the difference between standard def and high def

[soulweaponry]

@MrYoda1972 A little over 100 inches diagonally

so its a paint on screen?

[soulweaponry]

@mifan93 No. Its white blackout fabric on a wood frame

we just got the hd66. absolutely amazing picture even from a shitty source (laptop). how did you construct the screen?

[soulweaponry]

@TheBloodyCrookroots Just basic basic stuff. Me and my girlfriend went to a fabric store, bought some white blackout material, then to home depot to get some wood/brackets for the frame and staple gunned the fabric onto the frame. Easy peasy. All for under $50. And here i was about to buy a screen at the store for $300. Psh!

Maybe i'll put up a video this weekend taking the screen down and showing the back and how it's put together

If the wall wasn't painted poop brown I'm sure the screen would still come out good. I use my projector on a white wall and picture still comes out clear.

here the thing it how much money you spend on your projector i have a optoma gt700 DLP 3D gaming projector 16:10 wide screen in 1080p no matter were u use that projector trust me it all way good but i have mind setup on a 300" 16:10 gray fix screen

[5NOOPY615]

Pausing the video at 0.44, with the plane split in the middle, I prefer the wall.

Great job, man. Really shows the difference.

[darockk]

i still dont think its worth it

wall still looks god enough

The left side has better blacks. The right side looks like a 2010 panny plasma after the rising blacks kick in.

I'm getting my HD66 soon-ish (after christmas) and your vids have been the best ones on that projector. You mention blackout cloth and from what I see, it works fantastic. I've been looking for screen ideas and I found this stuff called "magic whiteboard". It'll be a while before I have my new place though so I won't be able to test out the fabric (gonna glue it down to a board if it works). Anyways, thought I'd pass that on incase you're open to trying new ideas for screens.
