TORPEDO VIDEO PROJECTOR SCREEN REVIEW PT 1jummahtube.com This is the Torpedo Video Projector first on a screen painted silver and then on a white sheet so that you can see the difference. DO NOT MAKE MY MISTAKE and use a brush to paint the screen. I put the black out cloth on the frame first and then tried to paint it with a roller and there wasn't enough resistance for the roller to get the paint onto the fabric, so I switched to a brush. MAJOR MISTAKE as you will see. There are major streaks on the screen. I'll have to take the fabric off the frame and either replace it or try repainting it with a SPONGE ROLLER. The paint I used was Behr Premium Plus LUMINOSO Silver. Comes in 31 oz plastic jars with a screw top. It's meant for faux finishes. It was the only silver paint I could find that wasn't stinky. Had to use non-stinky paint because we have pets and no garage, had to do this indoors. The Behr Premium Plus LUMINOSO Silver is a latex based paint. projector screen reviews Video Rating: 4 / 5
Fixed Projector Screen Review projector screen reviewsWith the rising popularity of the use of projectors and fixed projector screens in home theaters, the market for both of these items has become fairly competitive.
If you are setting up a home theater and you are planning on using a projector and screen, there are a few options worth considering beforehand.
First of all, regarding the projector, it is possible to find very good refurbished projectors that come complete with guarantee, for an exceptionally good price online, and quite possible at your local home theater accessory shop as well. If cost is an issue for you, you will be happy to hear that you can buy a refurbished projector and screen for less than you would pay for a large LCD screen. The quality is comparable these days, and the only drawback really is that you need a totally dark room for viewing when you use a projector and screen.
The next choice you will be faced with is whether to buy a fixed projector screen or an electric projector screen. There are pros and cons to both. Again if price is an issue and you can place the screen in a room that does not get a lot of traffic but is used primarily as a home theater for viewing, then you may find the fixed screen is the way to go.
Some of the more popular brands of fixed projector screens include the Elize ezFrame screens, the Da-Lite Cinema Contour screens and the Maxstar Premier series. Elite and Draper projector screens are also fairly common and popular. Each brand has its strengths and weaknesses, and basically with each type of screen you get what you pay for. If you are willing to pay more, you will generally get a screen with more options and better visibility.
The one exception to that is the Da-Lite Contour series. This screen has all of the options of the more expensive screens, yet it is one of the more reasonably priced. Screen size ranges from 60 to 220 inches and they have both video and HDTV format screens. They have perforated screens, which allow you to place speakers behind the screens. If decor is a problem, they also have a variety of different framing possibilities including a wood grained type frame that would fit in well with most home furniture.
When looking for a fixed screen projector, remember to compare features as well as prices, before making your final purchase.

Firstly, the Optoma H31 is a low resolution Home Theater Projector.
The native resolution is only 854 x 480 pixels.
I would highly recommend Sanyo PLV-Z4.
The native resolution is 1280 x 720 pixels.
Secondly, you can read up on Da-Lite screen from their website http://www.da-lite.com/.
But I would like to recommend Stewart screen.
Lastly I would recommend you read up all you can on this site http://www.projectorcentral.com/.
All the best in your selection and welcome to the Home Theater Projector experience.
