if youhave the money why not just buy a drop down scrren and attach it to the ceiling.

edit: screen

Paint does have an advantage in that alot of roll screens are not flat when they are hanging and can show roller indentations. Also one can take a screen with you if you shift. Where decor is important a white wall may be totally unsuitable.

However what neither allow is what our screens are capable of delivering in a highly lit, yes even daylight pouring in the window is a perfect picture from standard projectors. ICE Digital Daytime projection screens will leave you thinking why on earth would I use a matt white screen or painted wall. Both of which throw away p[rojector brightness and image resolution.

Big projector screens are very expensive. I’m tempted to buy something like this, but I’m wondering if anyone has any experiences with it. Specifically, I’m wondering:
- Does it actually visibly improve the picture?
- During “normal use” of the room, do you notice a difference between a painted wall and a normal wall? I don’t own the apartment I live in, and I don’t want to pay for re-painting the walls if I move out.

Just to let you guys know, someone out here did appreciate the joke used in the title.

I hate that damned commercial.

Friends of ours used a product similar to this with their HD projector and it looks magnificent. They have an 8′ x 4′ rectangle painted on their wall in light gray for contrast and surrounded by a darker gray border (regular paint) for style.

If I’m not mistaken, it cost them $200-300 for one gallon, which seems pretty damn pricey, but then I’m not sure on the cost of a screen alone as theirs came with the projector. It’s rolled up in their storage room.

Nothing beats playing Dance Dance Revolution in front of a wall! :/

I agree with Ian. The title is hilarious and I hate that damn commercial! But I guess it works because almost everybody has heard of Head-On now and I read the blog posting. Thanks for the morning laugh!

After reading the title of this post, for some reason, I feel the need to apply white paint directly to my forehead…
