100" projector screen for $15 - portable projector screen

To be fully aware of the screen, this is a great option to buy the screen for $300.
This is my "bandaid" screen before I get the real screen.
I am very satisfied with this.
What is reflected back from the crystal is real.
This is not the case. -
I had to cut mine a few inches so it's not 100 now. (
Things with aspect ratio)
I 've been using the projector for years and it always looks bad to project on sheets, 40 "press paper, wax paper and yes, even white walls.
I need something big, cheap and light.
The first time I tried it was with 4'x3 '.
A piece of heavy and expensive plywood.
Here's what I did and how I did it.
I will go through the simple steps first.
The only time-consuming part is the pain list, which lists what you need. 1. Paint -
When I first tried some Krylon painting, be sure to use the latex, which melts the foam.
Behr "screen" a quart (
It's gray. yes light gray).
I believe this is the ordinary latex paint found by Home Depot.
If you can get a better deal on another brand, just use the paint chip to match it.
If you can't find it, turn it gray.
Buy flat or eggshells. No semi-gloss or gloss.
Most defects are hidden using matte/flat. 2.
1. 4' x 8' x 2 "(actually 1. 5" thick)
Leopard sheets (or other? )
Ridge foam plastic insulation.
Look for something smooth and pick one without any dents.
Some are stamped on one side and smooth on the other. 3. optional -Four, 1/2" x 2.
Bolts 5 ", 8 nuts, 8 large washers. (
See the section "hang up)
If someone does this, would you post a picture on this note?
I 'd love to see what you changed.
As a frame of reference, see the picture of turning on the light.
My screen is tilted in the corner.
Since my projector is on my desk, it is also tilted.
Everyone installs it in a different way, so ignore that.
Picures is more about showing the scale than how I install it. Back-
Lighting is also mentioned later.
The best advice I can give you about the size is to set up your projector and take your projector furniture before you cut it.
I recommend installing Pink Panther foam plastic where you want it.
See what you want to cut.
You need to decide what aspect ratio you want. 16:9 , 4:3 ++.
I recommend 16: 9
With the 4'x8' table, the biggest one you can use with 16:9 is 4'x 7. 11'.
This is a link to a ratio calculator.
BorderI didn't do this on my, but people also like the black stripes around the border to clean up the edges of the projector.
Considering the same for your size. I cut off 6" (
I did it at 16: 10 and will not do it again).
I used a saw with a handle and it worked very well.
Or razor and snap.
This part is optional. The bolts (
Large gasket)
It's needed because you can't screw the hook onto the foam.
You can, I can, but they came out.
However, I did add a bunch of tape and glue to the hole.
This has been reserved for my indoor screen but there is no wind outside.
Not recommended.
I believe that people who are smarter than me will come up with a better way, so I am open to suggestions.
These pictures are the screens of my deck (V2).
I drilled them and installed bolts and washers before painting.
I used a larger washer and back (below)
Add another nut, give me a gap to hang on my lips, or add a rope/wire.
If you are going to install it on the wall with velcro or something, skip this step.
I use these in all four corners so that when I don't look, I can turn it over to the ceiling of the deck.
Don't feel too nervous about the appearance of the front screw head.
You do this step before drawing so that it will be disguised by paint.
In any case, nothing good happens in the corner, right?
Seriously, you really don't know when it was painted.
Enter at least 3 inch of the top and sides, otherwise you will regret it when you re-do it because it is broken.
It is still foam plastic and can sail in the wind.
One side of the Pink Panther foam plastic comes with their logo and the other side has small cracks and smoothness.
This is the side you drew. (
It's easier to snap on a construction site? ).
I left my room and just added more paint but you might want to fill it in the sand.
It's better to hide seams with flat paint, so take a look at your ideas.
Remove the light gray paint from the Behr "Silver Screen" and apply it.
I wore 3 coats in front, back and side. Why the back?
Light passes through more easily.
More in step 5.
The paint looks almost gray.
Gray brings out black and contrast.
White highlights make it look like blue or fluorescent or 6000 k White.
Gray seems to be counter-intuitive, but that's why the movie is played on the "screen" of the day.
The gray screen solves most of the color problems you project on white.
The silver screen of Behr is plain paint.
If you can get a better deal on another brand, just use the paint chip to match it.
Buy flat or eggshells. No semi-gloss or gloss.
Most defects similar to any other type are hidden using matte/flat light.
I made eggshells and occasionally noticed my roller.
I took some steel wool for it before my last coat.
I try not to go too far because it's a quick and cheap screen.
I will spray it too in a perfect world, not scroll it.
Flat paint doesn't seem to make any difference, but I can see the roller line on my shell version.
Just a heads up.
I think I would consider semi-gloss with paint sprayer instead of roller.
The semi-gloss looks great on your wall, but you also don't shine on it, and you don't look at it all day, do you? As a side note-
The word "screen" began in the early days of the film industry.
Because the projector was very dim at the time, reflective aluminum was embedded on the screen. The silver (aluminum)
Better reflect to the audience. Optional.
I love the backlight because I'm a weird person and I think it looks cool.
In my case, the screen is in front of 1 window, so I connected a photoelectric tube at dawn.
The ones you found at Target near the Christmas tree area.
Open at night.
I have two gaps at the top and two on the left.
I initially installed the light at the back of the screen, but the light went through.
Even with 3 coats on the front and back.
The light also shoots in from the window and washes off your color.
If you have tried it during the day and the back is not properly blacked out, don't throw a towel on this screen.
My solution is to cover the back of the screen with a space blanket (
Target camping area).
Fix or use push pins with tape.
You can also Black the back, but I want the light, just don't go through the screen.
There are 3 hooks behind this screen (my indoor one).
I don't recommend that, though.
I have to stick them all together.
My screen is tilted down so I need them.
The green border is meant to illustrate the back of the screen.
It's hard to take pictures back there. Check back.
Depending on where you put the screen, you don't have to get too neat on the back.
You can never seeRandom notes:--
I poured a few ounces of paint into three sealed sandwich bags.
I was blown down after the rain (deck)and scratched.
Dip a napkin in the paint and make some minor touches.
I 'd rather destroy the screen than the $200 version.
Nothing is worse than a paranoid "projector man" who needs to take everything down hours before the rain --
Then never.
Develop an exit strategy for projectors, speakers, and computers instead of screens.
A cart entering the garage always works well.
I run all the video and audio from inside and pipe it out via the "Cat5 to VGA" adapter and FM transmitter (also inside).
Run this computer with LogMeIn with your mobile phone or laptop.
This way you can pick up the projector, radio and 2 wires. 30 second tear-down.
Let your projector cool down if possible.
Weather radar and umbrella.
See if you can project from the inside window and cover all your bases.
Is it never that easy, though? --
I would also like to make a version with hinges and fold it into 4 sections to make it a 2'x4 "(? )
Outdoor version.
Although it is very light, it is still very big. So again.
It's great because it's cheap, simple and works well.
Great outside too.
You can add a hook to your house or garage and hang it like my deck version.
Watching a movie on a sheet blown by the wind will give you a strange motion sickness. OK.
It may not be sick, but it disturbs your senses.
Please upload if you make one.
