Hi,
Please help me source this screen spec:
* 16:9 120" (diagonal)
* Extended black top border (40cm+)
* High Contrast 0.8-1 gain
(My Panny AX200 is too bright at my max 3.8m throw even in eco mode AND I have ambient light issues AND the world's most shiny ceiling and floor surfaces.)
* Black-backed as going in front of a window
* <£300 (<£450 if some part of spec is significantly improved by doing so )
* Manual or electric not important (CSR)
I've been deliberating for 2weeks on those screen requirements but the problem being until yesterday I hadn't been able to find such a combo.
I'd been looking primarily at CVSMedia but each option sacrificed at least one spec element. (E.G. Beamax R 120" not listed in HC. Draper Luma2 HC max listed size of 106". Da-Lite model B HC 120" had no extended top border etc.)
Anyway yesterday a search for a Luma2 with those specs popped up 247cinema who seem to have every screen option ever invented including one which meets my exact criteria in the Beamax R-Black manual High Contrast (Gain 0.8) 270x156 (16:9) (10548).
My worry being that I have never heard of such a supplier (searched these forums too) and according to the Beamax site they don't even make such a model!
(http://www.beamax.com/projection-screens/R-black-projection-screens)
So my questions to the community are:
1/ Does that Beamax screen model 10548 really exist?
2/ If so, can anyone confirm that it does in fact have an extended black top border and is HC? (The R series white moves down to 5cm at this size!)
3/ Any experience of 247Cinema? OR know of any other supplier for this option?
If you are answering #3 can you also comment on whether it is possible to source the Draper Luma2 at 119" in HC as their site suggests it should be possible. (http://www.draperinc.com/Screen_Pages/luma2_projection_screen.htm)
Any Beamax R vs Draper Luma2 comments would also be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks for any advice you can provide.
