Hi,
I currently have an 84 inch Beamax 1.2 gain white fixed frame screen, which I was using with my Sony VPL-HW10, a few weeks ago I upgraded my projector to an Epson EH-TW7300.
The contrast and black levels are better with the Epson, but I would like to improve them by getting a grey screen, also I want to get a 92 inch screen.
My room is 345 cm wide 330 long , the screen is mounted on the wall 345 cm wide. The screen wall is painted black, the ceiling and the other three walls are fairly light coloured.
There is a large bay window on the wall behind the projector, this has blackout curtains, but light does enter the room from above, below and at the sides of the curtain, I'm hoping to reduce a lot of the light around the curtains.
The front of the projector is 280 cm from the screen.
Viewing position is directly in front of the screen, under the projector.
I was keen on getting an Aeon Edge Free 92 CineGrey 3D screen, but my projector is too close to the screen, as the screen is 203.7 cm wide, and the minimum distance is 1.5 x screen width, which would be 305.5 cm, I could move the projector further back to get the minimum distance, by fixing the projector to the ceiling of the bay window, but I would prefer to avoid that unless the the cinegrey 3D is really good.
The screens I am looking at are,
1- Elite Aeon Edge Free 92" CineGrey 3D 1.2 gain. 499 Euros plus 70 euros delivery.
I not sure how effective the Elite Aeon cinegrey 3D would be with the light from the window, as the window is behind the projector.
2- Elite Sable frame 92 inch Cinegrey 1.0 gain. 399 Euros plus 70 euro delivery.
3- Silver ticket 92 inch grey. 1.0 gain. Around £180 plus delivery from USA.
The cheapest of the screens.
4- Beamax A series 92 inch grey. 0.9 gain.White screen is around £400, will be getting a price for the grey tomorrow. From a local shop.
The A series frame is the same as the 84 inch I already have, if the design hasn't changed, I can use the brackets already on the wall, so easy to fit, and I also I am familiar with Beamax as I have owned one for 10 years.
Any advice or comments to help me choose would be appreciated, or recommend another screen.
If anyone owns one of these screens (any size), what do you think of it ?
thanks
