No problem. I am in the same boat in that I think filmex is probably very good, but I am used to premium material so probably a step down from current. It was about 4 years ago I saw the XD in a dealer demo room, and it seemed good apart from the weave. Once I saw it, it was all I noticed.Apologies as I have indeed completely misread your post.. I have just re read it and makes complete sense . No I haven't installed or even built my screen as yet . I just modified my screen wall and had it plastered (bonding) skimming to be done tomorrow morning.. I then intend to decorate and paint, then add the velvet in the inside of the wall (where the screen will be sat in). Then I am planning on building a 3m wide screen like you and only then I will be looking to purchase the screen material . I have never owned or installed filmex so I can not comment.. I am only going on what I've heard . In the end I may just go with the premium material the Seymour XD as I too have never owned cheap screens or built a DIY screen . Don't really want to buy the filmex and be disappointed so I may just pull the trigger on the XD material.
I am sat approx 5m away fro the screen so I doubt I will notice any weave.. Apart from noticing the weave how did you find the screen overall? Thanks
I do have very good eyesight though and am very sensitive to motion based interference (I can see the rainbow effect really bad on affected projectors for example), so I might not be a good yardstick.
Thing is quite a few respected bmembrrs here swear by filmex so I am still tempted/ curious.... Grrrr
