What an awesome video! This is hands down the be BEST and possibly the only video out there about this manufacturer with comparisons of the different screen materials. I already ordered my sample pack (thanks for the suggestion, by the way)! I am torn between the gray and high contrast screens. You talked about a loss in color with the high contrast screen so that got me questioning whether or not to get a high contrast screen now. I have a TON of uncontrolled light during the day, though. Now I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to sacrifice any color at all.
I appreciate the encouragement on me making this video! Let me know what you end up going with. To me, the sample kit solves the dilemma of “which one” hope to hear back from you!
Thanks for the review! Looks like the more affordable option over Elite screens. Currently using a grey bed sheet and looking forward to a proper screen. Gonna take a chance and paint my ceiling flat black to reduce reflected light.
One thing that is NOT mentioned in the video is that the material's shift in brightness depending on the angle you are sitting. I had to check from a bunch of positions.
Thanks for pointing this out. We sit centered.
Very informative. I was surprised at how complicated this would be! And just how little info was out there by the big Tech channels. I thought my problem was simple. My 10 ft by 16 ft shotgun bedroom is configured in such a way that the bed could only go on one wall. That leaves only a narrow 2 foot walkway to get to the other side of the room at the foot of the bed. Way too narrow to put a TV stand or even a wall mount tv without doing acrobatics to get to the other side. But after hours researching projectors and finally picking the one that best suits me, I'm moving on to screens. Wow! This is a fresh rabbit hole that seems just as deep as the projector rabbit hole if not more so because now there' are DIY options! NOTHING beats a in person side by side comparo in the actual setting. I had no idea about the swatch pack from Silver Ticket and I just ordered one. Thanks for helping. 😁
This made my day to know that my video was helpful and that you were actually able to order a set! Please come back and let me know your thoughts after you have tested yourself
@@EskimoTV Update: So I purchased the grey from 92" 16:9 ratio from amazon (STR-16992-G) for $250 BEFORE I received the sample pack. I assembled it alone in about an hour. I received the pack a week later but didn't look at the samples because I didn't want to know if I jumped the gun and bought the wrong one for my setup.. Well it's been a few weeks now and now my ego isn't as fragile so I tested the samples. Yes, I bought the wrong one. Or let me rephrase, I didn't buy the best one for me. Here's my findings with my setup using Ultimea Apollo P40 @9.5' for a 92"picture, blackout drapes, light grey walls, white ceiling, white doors, 4 ceiling mounted dimmable LED hi-hat lights. Light controlled room as far as outside light, but reflected light from the screen can be intense in bright scenes. None of the perforated ones made the cut due to cost and the holes being visible from my viewing distance (2GP and AGP). The whites (WVS, WHITE, 4W, and WAB) had washed out blacks with the lights off and with lights they had zero contrast even with lights dimmed it was barely watchable. The High Contrast Grey was way too dark for my projector's 700 ANSI lumens and the Solid Grey (2GS) looked identical to the Grey with black backing (GREY) that I just purchased. The Silver (SILVER) and the Advanced Grey Silver (AGS) however both offer significant improvements over the grey I purchased. With the lights on the AGS was exceptional and the Silver wasn't too far behind. Both are very watchable especially with the lights dimmed, but bright enough so someone could be getting dressed or whatever.
So I bought the wrong one for $250. What now. A new 92" AGS screen from Silver Ticket is $430 so for an extra $180 I could have gotten the AGS in the first place. However, Silver Ticket does sell the screen only (no frame) for $248. So that's what I plan on doing now. My total spent will be $498 so my choice to buy before I try will cost me an extra $68 plus shipping and a little labor. But I will roll my Grey screen up on the tube the new one comes in so I'll have a very nice (but not the nicest for me) backup screen for 68 bucks. Also, I'm well aware that my screen will end up costing more than double the price I paid for the projector. But while projectors get all the love, the screen is at least as important IMO
Appreciate your video. Did you try the silver material? If, so how did it perform compared to the grey or 2GS?
Let me get back with you! I did try the silver material, but it did not stand out to me on a first glance like the gray 2GS did.
I bought the sample pack after buying the grey screen. My review is in the comments but short answer Silver is better than Grey and 2GS (which are indistinguishable from each other in my setting) but even better for me was the AGS. Both have deeper blacks and brighter colors but while the Silver might have a very slight edge in bright whites and colors noticeable in certain scenes, the AGS is almost right with it but with markedly deeper blacks and is more viewable with ambient light. Now I'm buying the AGS screen only and installing it in my existing frame with the Grey as a spare.
@shayne87 love your thoughts here! For whatever reason, the silver did not pop out as much to us as the 2GS or grey did but it may be worth us having a second look. I don’t recall it looking bad, but comparing 10 different materials was a challenge.
@@EskimoTV I could see situations where the Grey or 2GS could be better or pop more as you say. I have an LED projector not a bulb based one so I'm not pumping out thousands of ANSI. My walls are virtually the same light shade of Kindle grey as the screen so the blacks do not appear as deep as they would if it were mounted on a white wall (visual cue contrast). I view closer to the screen as the foot of my bed is 2 feet from the wall. I have ceiling lighting evenly spread out nearer to the 4 corners than the center. This is why the sample swatch pack is ESSENTIAL. The reality is this is more like art than pure science. If my walls were black I could see where the vivid colors of a high gain white screen would be great. If I had a super bright Epson I might opt for the High Contrast Grey. There is no cookie-cutter best screen, at least at not this price point and my boyfriend will lose his sh*t if I spend more on this "small project" for the bedroom. I'm not even gonna tell him I'm buying the new screen 😂
I have dark room with no light does white works? Spent a lot on audio and projector please let me know . 128 inch
White would most certainly work, but I think Gray is going to give you a better picture quality.
Okay bro , will go with grey . I like your reviews so follow the pros :)
Wth? Took you 2hours???? It literally took me 15min not joking and it was my first screen ever
Yours is crooked.
