Hi
im looking to build a 90 inch fixed screen.
Planning to make a timber frame then use MDF as a flat base on top of that for the screen material then cover the outer 2/3 inch surround with a velvet or felt tape to finish.
question I have is...
What colour screen should I go for with a completely dark room.
No ambient light at all.
plus...the choice of either covering with a fabric/material or painting.
Being MDF it will be nice and flat so looking at ‘specialist projector screen paint’ as well as various materials.
what’s best?
Is painting mainly done as a cheaper alternative to material/fabric or is it a genuinely good option?
really looking for recommendations on fabric/screen material to choose OR a type of paint that’s recommended
really appreciate any advice and ideas
Cheers
