I decided to upgrade and make a 104 inch screen with a masking system to get rid of the annoying dark gray bars on the top and bottom of the screen while watching cine-wide content. Additional info can be found at: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1090889

  • I don't quite get what you did....

    PS: You completed it on my Birthday, lol December 20th :-)

  • Well Hapy Birthday. With some movies, the screen has black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. Think of how widescreen movies look on older TV's. So to make sure the white areas of the projector screen stay completely black during these movies, I made a masking system to absorb the black light from the projector. Bascially the masking system helps with the contrast ratio of the projector. In the opening scene you can see the grayish area during the IronMan movie disappear.

  • Construction time was about 8 hours. But the time spent planning abd building was much longer since I was planning and building at the same time. All in all it was a 2 weekend project.
