Would appreciate if you could provide your honest input on the how the Cinegrey compares with the Carl's Place Flexigrey from your other video and if you might have come any information into projector screens with an Ultra short throw projector? Thank you!

@LifeofBliss 3 жыл бұрын

Well the cinegrey3d is an alr screen and the flexigrey is not. You'll get more light rejection with the elite screens. Carls place has a flexi alr that would be a better comparison. To me, it comes down to cost and if you have the ability/skill to diy the screen. If so, you'll save a ton of money going with carls place. Both have excellent screen materials

Awesome Video! I bought the Elite Screen 120H2 in CineGrey with the light kit as a Christmas present to myself. I absolutely love the screen and the light kit. I find that watching movies with the blue light on its lowest setting actually boosts the contrast a bit and makes the blacks darker. I bought mine off of amazon and I was a bit disappointed when I received the older style that had the velcro instead of springs. My one complaint is the older style doesn't have the brackets for the bottom of the screen so the bottom doesn't sit flush on the wall. After seeing your video, I reached out to Elite Screens to see if they would send me some additional brackets for the bottom. So far, all my experiences with Elite Screens Customer Service Reps have been great.

There's two ways to build a home theater sound system for a house: Using a lot of low power speakers including subwoofers spread in the room, or using a big and powerful but with less speakers that have a lot of headroom to be corrected with equalization. You did it the second one, congratulations man! This is a dream home theater for a lot of people, including me. I know that there's some persons that build a big and powerful system with lots of speakers, but they do this because the room is big, if the room is not big they are it doing wrong, is what we call an overkill.

@@LifeofBliss I agree when there is ambient light, but when you watch a movie at night and turn off the lights, you just cannot tell the difference. In my experiences you do not notice the small imperfections on the wall at all when watching it in a dark room, and to me only movies matter quality wise. So of course it depends on your preferences, but I was just thinking if it was worth paying thousands of dollars for a barely noticable improvement, unless you use it with ambient light most of the time. Your wall looked very similar to the screen, that is why I asked. I just black taped the edges on the wall recently, and it already made it look like a proper screen at night. I have a 97" screen too, and the only difference I noticed was because of its smaller size, and the black edges. But anyway, enjoy it.

@@LifeofBliss good to know man. Loved these videos. Was the material fairly easy to stretch and staple to the frame? Should I be nervous at all? Is it fairly forgiving? I saw your video on it

@LifeofBliss 3 жыл бұрын

Its not hard at all. Just stretch it enough to make it fairly tight and staple out towards the corners. You can even pull up staples and redo an area if need be. Pretty forgiving stuff

Why havent you went to a UST yet?

@LifeofBliss 7 ай бұрын

Have had one for 2 years. Videos on the channel. They are ok in a pinch, traditional projectors are better imo

@darrelldarrell1447 7 ай бұрын

Depends on what your spending on an overhead projector. The quality in a UST with an ALR screen you'd pay 3 times as much for an overhead. I don't have a spot for one so went with UST. I watched your sub and speaker build and stopped Watching. This vid randomly popped up. I'll check out your ust video.

Yea the ust makes it easy to add a projector almost anywhere. They definitely have their place. And budget will have a lot to do with picture quality. No ust setup can rival the nz line from jvc from my experience. Again, budget will determine your experience

I don't really think it will take 3x the budget for a standard projector to best a ust. Epsons new projector is amazing and isn't in the super high end of pricing. Ust projectors aren't cheap either. I look at them as another option for consumers that don't have the ability to add a traditional projector. I would argue your passing a premium for a ust and alr screen to match what a cheaper long throw projector can do

Thanks for the great video, I was thinking of buying this screen until I saw the despicable price of the LED strip.... How can they possibly justify selling a junk Chinese LED strip for that price? I bought a more capable kit for $15 6 years ago, nowadays you get Alexa / google home compatible kits for $15. As a 'capitalist pig' I love business and profit but this is just shocking. It makes me wonder if the screen is worth 10x less than the asking price like lights are. Sorry, I don't like to rant and really enjoyed the video and the hard work that went into it, thank you :)

Lol the screen is a good one, but you're right about the LEDs. I have a milight setup through the rest of my basement that I would recommend over this one. They are a novelty though, no real use besides the looks. I'd save the money... thanks Tony!

why did you ditch you DIY screen? you have put me in a dilemma regarding DIY screen vs elite screen

This was just for review purposes. The diy screen will be going back up. Its a nice screen, but you'll save money if going the diy route if you're able

The installation looks odious. I think silver ticket has a much better installation process, and they have an ALR option as well, and cheaper.

You placed the leds in the right spot the other video the dude placed it on the black outer frame cover😅🤣😂 I dont think he realizes that any led even on a t.v. is for background light not for edges where you can actually see the strip😅🤣😂

@@sam6stringestrada31 check out Milight products on amazon. Thats what I did my bar and diy screen with. Its fairly inexpensive but the control you have is great for the money. Not overpriced like some other companies and its over Bluetooth or wifi so no direct line of sight needed like the IR remote setup elite screens has

The screen is cool but the smell is horrible. I highly doubt it’s good to inhale that crap. I put it in my bedroom like an idiot thinking the smell would go away with the widows open but to no avail. It’s been days now and It’s still strong. Very disappointed to say the least. I’ll will try to update this when the smell goes away or when I get cancer. Not funny I know but in all seriousness I really don’t think this is safe or at least until the smell goes away.
