Just a little bit of tension to get the wrinkles out. You don't need to really feel like youre stretching the material much unless you are trying to get some wrinkles out in the corners.
Just a quick tip for anyone trying to get rid of those distracting bands of light on the floor and ceiling (as seen at 11:59), tape the LED strips facing the wall, not out. You will still get the ambient light just around the screen, but the bands of light will be gone.
Absolutely 100% respect a man that chooses this amazing screen build over a college fund. 😂✊ The only change I would make is to paint the wood strips black before gluing the LED lights to them - that would prevent any visible raw wood from a side view - but if it's so close to the wall that it's not visible, then that would not be needed.
Hey man, priorities! By the time they get to that age, college will be free, we'll own nothing, and be happy about it 😉 That definitely is not a bad idea. You have to be nearly directly off to the side to see the wood/leds, but not a bad idea...
Boom! I really like how you can make your LED any color. Mine is blur only. Rarely turn them on but it’s cool every once in awhile. Tell your son I’m sorry and keep up the great work.
@@LifeofBliss You guys should look into Hyperion. That is cool. It is a bit of work and you need a Raspberry PI3. I made one for a 65" TV, but I haven't installed it yet. Working on my garage. th-cam.com/video/GkNT5mYajKo/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for your honesty at the end. I was itching to add LED to my screen to better define the screen edge. But now I think I'll try to get my hands on some felt tape.
Yo I'm 35 first time home owner bought late December last year I'm a single dad with a full time 5 year old ..... and Wrestling Coach by profession...... this project was number 1 right in my bed rooms ...... today June 6 at 2:03 ...... I know we're 7th months from when I got the keys but this was my first project in my home ..... I've done plenty of weird jobs on homes before but my dad was always with me and it was always his castle or his friends castle this time...... this is my Rock, I will build my church on it !!!
Good job brother. I enjoy the video. We've been building custom curved and flat screens for our clients in Dallas for about 10 years. We have over 2,000 in the field. You did a great job on that one. Keep it up
@@LifeofBliss - you're welcome buddy! Yea it's an undertaking. About to post a video right now with one we did last week. Check it out when you get a chance. Take care bro
Great vid...I’m completely comfortable building the frame but a bit apprehensive about stretching the material evenly, without wrinkles. How hard is it to do?
Pretty easy really. Just start by throwing 4 or 5 staples in the middle of each side, then pull towards you and slightly towards the corners as you work your way around. I've never done it before this, its not bad
I used some base board trim around the edges to make it look like a giant picture frame. My chromecast is hooked up to my projector so its always showing a different picture.
Beautifully done! Question, where do all thr wires go behind the wall for its power source? I'm curious... could you please do a video of the place where all the wires are hidden... thank you 👌
Great video, so fun to watch! Griswald quotes made a kid who grew up in the 80ties and 90ties very, very very happy. I also like the way you are honest about using the backlights on the screen. They do make great party feature, but when watching movies in completely dark room i find them distracting also.
Awesome build. To be honest I was expecting something extremely over the top like your other videos, like a screen that would pour your drinks haha. Actually I was hoping this was one of those ambient reactive backlights. I have yet to see an affordable version though. To explain its basically the same leds but they turn different colors at the same time to match the image on screen so in the ocean at nights the lit blue water on bottom is blue leds on bottom white led for the boat on the sides and black night is led off on top. Awesome but so far the cheapest is twice your overall cost just for the led and controller.
Thanks Philip, my wife said the I was "so extra" or something like that when she realized the lights were synced up on the same system as the bar lol. I'll have to let her know I could have gone more extra 😂 Those setups are cool, but like you said, costly... These lights were still about $100 to put behind the screen, I wouldn't want to spend too much more on something like that
I made an ambilight kit for the back of my 4k tv that runs off an Arduino Uno and it works perfect. Not expensive either, just individually addressable led strips, power supply and the Arduino, that's it! I'm currently working on my own projector setup but with a 90" roll up screen so no fancy led's. I'm using paper floor lamps with Philips Hue bulbs instead for the ambient lighting. I deleted my TH-cam channel a while back so i don't have a video of it running anymore :(
My projector has a lens memory function for different aspect ratios. For anything 2.35 or 2.4, I have it lower the image so it's more eye level and only a border on the top of the screen
Thanks man. It's a 16:9 screen and the movie was 2.35:1. My projector has a feature called lens memory which will recognize different aspect ratios and auto adjust to whatever settings you set up to. I make it drop the 2.35 image to the bottom of the screen to make the image more eye level and remove the black bars on top/bottom. They are only on the top that way. I've seen the laser ultra short laser projectors, but haven't looked into the much. Pretty happy with this one currently but will look into that as an option as well when I upgrade
Have to say, I love your video. Love the joke from Christmas Vacation. I was laughing. However just ordered my first projector and was looking at so many screens online. Thanks for being very helpful and thorough.
Thanks man. My projector has a lens memory function that allows me to have it automatically adjust depending on the aspect ratio being played. I chose to have all scope video to lower to the bottom of the screen to make it more eye level. That way there isn't black bars on top and bottom, just the top now
Life of Bliss oh I see. I thought that it was something that I was missing. I’m watching your other videos now, narration is great, tempo of your videos are perfect, no wasted time. I’m excited to work with the LED lights and get my theater up and running again. Thanks for the inspiration.
It's held up great, even the way it's folded over the edge. Only lifting was the small square on the corners in the outer edges of the screen. 1 staple in each and they are held down, can't see the staples
@@LifeofBliss Thanks for the feedback. My screen is very similar to yours except spandex. I have the same tape but went the route of building a little trim frame that slides on the outside edge. It looks great on 3 sides but sags on the bottom so I'm thinking about applying the tape directly to the spandex. I'm thinking I might also have to staple it.
I have gone back and forth on my approach to building my frame. I like yours due to the simplicity and less opportunity for mistakes. But I'm concerned about the inner bracing showing through the screen. Have you had that problem at all? I've seen people add quarter round to the edges and other techniques, but I'm not sure I want to go that route.
Doesn't show through at all on mine. Make sure you get flat boards. If there's a slight bend to them, make sure they bend towards the wall vs the screen. Also, when you attach the cross braces, you can recess them a few fractions of an inch behind the top and bottom of the frame (hope that makes sense). You definitely could add quarter round or something like that, but its just another step and more money.
Idk that they make an UST screen to be honest. If call them, but the ALR would be the best bet. Usually those UST projectors take a special screen to work best
@@LifeofBliss indeed. UST need optical ALR also called CLR3, but Carl's place don't sell those. I can't afford a CLR3 screen for 150 inches, and I can't find any place selling CLR3 "fabric"
Great tutorial life of Bliss , will help me a lot in my next project . Is the Storm trooper picture you have on your back an Acoustic panels? if so, can you share information about it. Looks Phenomenal!!!
That's what I'm using here in ireland , they called it here the AT6000, what did you upgrade to , I was looking can't find what panasonic brought out to replace it , I was looking to go 4K , just don't know what would be my next move as I would like to keep the 3D on a 4k one aswel!!!! What are you using and any recommendation. Thanks Darren.
Darn it. I built my Carl's Place screen in May. I would have loved to have seen this back then. The LEDs would look great, but I don't feel like taking it down again. Lol. Great job.
Good for you that you built it without the LED's. The LED's are a pointless gimmick and they do nothing good for the projected image. Rule number one of any cinema theater: any light that's not coming out of the projector lens is unwelcome.
It's a regular 16:9 aspect ratio. When 2.35 movies play, they have the black bars at top and bottom normally. My projector has a function where it recognizes 16:9 or 2.35 content and can adjust the zoom and positioning of the image. I chose to lower the image to the bottom of the screen to make it more eye level, removing the bottom black bar and making the top black bar bigger. Good luck building yours! It's a fun project
Hey Bliss, nice video. I followed the instructions and didn’t realize it, but have some waves/ripples at the bottom of my screen. Do you think it might be because the material isn’t tight enough? Its roughly 150” diagional
Yea it doesn't sounds like it was fully stretched one way. If you had enough material to get a good grip, you could pull out some of the staples and try stretching it a bit more around that area.
Life of Bliss thanks. I was able to get out all the wrinkles. Thanks for the video, it was extremely easy to follow. I’m looking forward to using this screen for years to come
Thanks yea I went back and watched it again I caught the sceen material the second time around. Thanks for the Reply I will definitely be building this for my family Cheers From Washington State! 🍻
You mean what was wrapped around? You'll need to take that in to account when ordering. If you have any questions on what size to order, give them a call. They are good people. Tell them Kyle says hi 😉
Thanks man. Youd have to reach out to carls place for a definite answer on that. I dont see why it wouldn't, but some UST projectors use an ALR type screen specific for them if I'm not mistaken.
Great video. Can you please tell me the name of the paint you used for your walls . I’am putting a small movie room together and l like that gray color. Thanks alot and keep producing content.
I was going to spend $800 on a screen but after seeing this video I decided to build my own. It ended up being totally worth it and I didn't have to compromise on size because of price. Now I just need to add some LEDs.
Hi! I will be copying this video sans LED lights (they look awesome i just don't have a cool atmosphere for them). Thanks for the video. What made you choice Gray screen over ALR?
Hi from the UK. Another great video you make everything look so simple Wouldn't mind some demo videos of your set up if possible especially your subs..! ✌️👍
I'm about to do this right here. That screen came out fly AF. Put on a good scary movie and blaze up some of that Anthrax and chill. I bet people pay to have this done. Y'all got down on this. 5 thumbs up and 10 pats to the back. Pimpin ain't easy but it sure is fun 😎😎😎💪💪💪
It wouldn't start on just hanging it on nails. My subs would rattle it off within a few good scenes. There are many ways you can hang it, i just like this method because you can slide it side to side to very easily if needed. And it's super sturdy.
Thanks man. Yea I really like the flexigray. We have had people over for football games and things like that where they would bee out of the viewing angle with the ALR. I think we made the right choice
You can buy kits for thday sort of thing, but it would cost 2-4x what I spent. I usually don't have them on during a movie to be honest, the are kind of distracting
not sure if this was asked already but how did you hide the power supply wires? I saw them when you were mounting then the final product i didnt see any.
Check out all the products Carl's Place has to offer to make your own DIY projector screen! bit.ly/Carlsplace
Do you sell projector screens you make
@@otdarough5885 no, these are way too big to ship anywhere. Need to be made on site
I've got my frame built and my flexigray is arriving tomorrow.
About how hard do you pull the screen when stretching it over the frame?

What is the ambient light for anyhow? Just visual flare?
@@TheMeanArena It reduces eye strain and fatigue.

Just wanted to say thanks; I followed your build. My screen kicks ass!
EXCELLENT videos. You are an absolute WEALTH of information. THANK YOU.

I've done plenty of weird jobs on homes before but my dad was always with me and it was always his castle or his friends castle this time...... this is my Rock, I will build my church on it !!!
Just another tip for the bias lighting. Turn on your lights to white 6500k. Low setting, instead of off. It helps with fatigue and increases contrast.
Hi, Really Cool stuff. So the black tape did not begin to move away at the edges due to the fact that it was bent?
Nope, held really well actually. Only place it pulled up was on the very corner on the outside end. A staple on each corner fixed it
Good job brother. I enjoy the video. We've been building custom curved and flat screens for our clients in Dallas for about 10 years. We have over 2,000 in the field. You did a great job on that one. Keep it up

Thanks bud. It's a fun party trick 😁
Looks awesome!!! im definitely going to add the LED borders to mine, though I think ill go for an ambilight solution, I think that'd be extra dope.
I used some base board trim around the edges to make it look like a giant picture frame. My chromecast is hooked up to my projector so its always showing a different picture.
Awesome video. My 1*4 are so warped in the middle I'm afraid to put the led strip in the back as the frame is already so tight on the sides
Hi, really cool stuff. Could you give a wood blocks size. Thanks
You're very good at what you do, the led panel looks amazing. I love your videos.
Appreciate it Ricardo!
Nice my lights around couch chairs and i kept screen dark with glow n dark stars.
Beautifully done!

Now that you've had it up a few months, how has the black felt tape adhesive held up?

Awesome diy, I’m gonna try it in our new house, but why did you lose that foot at the top of your screen? Was that by design?
It's a regular 16:9 aspect ratio. When 2.35 movies play, they have the black bars at top and bottom normally.

Good luck building yours! It's a fun project
@@LifeofBliss oh awesome! Thanks for the quick reply!
Carl's Place doesn't have a link for their Home Theater products any longer?
It's at the bottom of their page in the menus there
@@LifeofBliss thank you. I swear I looked there, lol
I for sure thought the folded over led’s were going to show through the screen! Good job!
That black backing really does a good job to block any light from coming through 😉
Life of Bliss is the backing part of the material used for the screen or added later separately?
@@Test-Pilot1194 it's all part of the material.
Life of Bliss so if no light bleed through the rear, that’s reason to believe you lose very little from the projected image. Cool👍🏻
Great work
Looks awesome bud! But why not center the screen on the wall? Looks like it was more to the left.
Has to do with where my seating is centered. I have less room on the right side of the room so it pushes everything over slightly. Is what it is...
Holy crap, that looks amazing!
Thanks Kile!
Hey Bliss, nice video. I followed the instructions and didn’t realize it, but have some waves/ripples at the bottom of my screen. Do you think it might be because the material isn’t tight enough? Its roughly 150” diagional
Yea it doesn't sounds like it was fully stretched one way. If you had enough material to get a good grip, you could pull out some of the staples and try stretching it a bit more around that area.
Life of Bliss thanks. I was able to get out all the wrinkles. Thanks for the video, it was extremely easy to follow. I’m looking forward to using this screen for years to come
I think if it was an ambilight system it will be so fun and amazing like led tv of philips
The description has like 3 or 4 different screen material which one did you go with for this exact setup?? Thanks in advance. Cool build btw 💪🏽
Thanks man. It was the flexigray material
Thanks yea I went back and watched it again I caught the sceen material the second time around. Thanks for the Reply I will definitely be building this for my family Cheers From Washington State! 🍻
Very nice video thanku sir
I painted and sanded lightly my wall. It honestly looks great and cost about $40.
Isn't there a silica sand type paint that will improve brightness too?
Another great video, buddy! Ha, had my dying a few times! I need a larger room...
Ha thanks man, gotta have a little fun 😉

Did you also have to add to the material that was going behind the frame in your fabric order?

Another great video you make everything look so simple
Wouldn't mind some demo videos of your set up if possible especially your subs..!
✌️👍
Thanks Phil! Yea I really need to do some demo videos...
Life of Bliss Look forward to it..🎥 🔉
I'm about to do this right here. That screen came out fly AF. Put on a good scary movie and blaze up some of that Anthrax and chill. I bet people pay to have this done. Y'all got down on this. 5 thumbs up and 10 pats to the back. Pimpin ain't easy but it sure is fun 😎😎😎💪💪💪
Great vid 👍
Cheers
Why not hang on nails? or screw frame hangers to the screen? would like to know your thoughts
It wouldn't start on just hanging it on nails. My subs would rattle it off within a few good scenes. There are many ways you can hang it, i just like this method because you can slide it side to side to very easily if needed. And it's super sturdy.
Hey man great build! Are you happy with the flex grey a few months in? Would you still choose it over the arl now that you’ve had it a while?
Thanks man. Yea I really like the flexigray. We have had people over for football games and things like that where they would bee out of the viewing angle with the ALR. I think we made the right choice
Very good dude
Great video.
Hello sir, My projector supports 30 - 300 inches..What is the height and weight of the projector screen i need to buy?
That all depends on your space man. I don't know what will fit in your room.
Is it possible to have the colors of the led lighting dynamic? That it changes color in conjunction with the image?
You can buy kits for thday sort of thing, but it would cost 2-4x what I spent. I usually don't have them on during a movie to be honest, the are kind of distracting
Other than the LED lights it looks excellent.
Hello. What is the black tape that was attached to the corners at minute 10:29 used for?
To help with any light bleeding once the screen size was adjusted for the screen.
@@LifeofBliss Thank you
This was a great video thanks 👍
not sure if this was asked already but how did you hide the power supply wires? I saw them when you were mounting then the final product i didnt see any.
That was what the hole in the wall was for. Ran the power wire through the wall to the power supply in the closet under the stairs
