It's our living room/home theater theater/bedroom, as we have a queen sized bed at the back, where we watch from mostly, or sit in the theater seating at the foot of the bed. So my question is this, do you think the CineGrey 3d will work in my room?

Maybe even do a video on it if you feel like it. I'm wondering how good these would look on the screen! Basically lets take a few of my favorite things for example, like anime that have particular color palettes for one thing. Here's the list Black Bullet (My favorite anime) Gundam 00 (Favorite Gundam series) A Silent Voice (Great film with great art) In live action we have Kamen Rider Kabuto. Black Bullet and Kamen Rider Kabuto are tied for my greatest series of all time!

Great vid, I was wondering if it's really any better than the cinewhite screen if you're watching it at night? Also, I saw a Stewart ALR screen in Best Buy which was $2000 bucks(Which looked like it was worth 100 bucks at the most) for the 92 inch version btw! And it looked like crap even compared to the Sony mid ranged led in the other demo room , bright in the very center of the screen and very dim everywhere else, I tried standing and kneeling at every angle, even put my face 6 inches away from the screen, it didn't make the pic look any better, Should I just go with an OG Cinewhite, I don't want any hot spotting or a dimmer image at night? I don't know if I can trust a screen that cost's a third of That Stewart Screen?

Hey Can, watching The Old Guard the other night looked great. My HDR was definitely brighter.

So a much brighter projector my have issues In a black room. 🤷🏽♂️

You typed in the video "no hot spots". There is really no hot spots? Because in some parts of the video (for example at 17:32) it looks clearly to me that the center of the picture is brighter than the left and right part. I bought CineGrey 3D and 5D samples one year ago. At first I was blown away. I put the samples on the center of the picture and the picture on them was great. But after I put them more to the left or to the right I was dissapointed. The picture on the samples was then a lot more darker. If there would not be such a big hot spots in this samples I would buy the screen but this hot spots are deal breaker to me.
