Hi all,
New member, first post. Thanks for having me.
I’m excitedly building my first home cinema setup, to a modest budget. I’ve bought the Epson EH-TW650 projector and a new avr and speaker set - I’m now ready to sort the projector screen.
I’m looking to DIY a screen. Plan is to have two; one 210” 16:9 outdoor and another 120” 16:9 for indoor. I’ve looked into the various options for material, gain, colour, and have considered the various pros and cons (subject to my own interpretation!) ... but I’m struggling to find good screen material at the right price.
But then ive found this: IFR Trevira CS Projection Tafetta Fabric 200 in / 510 cm - While Stocks Last - Projection Screen - Scenic Fabrics - Theatrical Supplies
And the price is great. But I have a few questions:
has anyone ever used tafetta fabric for projector screens? IFR Trevira? Not much info online about this.
This isn’t lined with blackout, and is suitable for front and rear projection. Will this work for me outside, if there is any ambient light present around the screen?
With the limited amount of info on the page, is anyone able to give me any first thoughts or advice on the suitability?
really appreciate any support.
Thanks,
Dave
