The most honest comparison test so far. I'm stuck on the same dilemma. Purchased an LED / DLP projector. Super bright. HIgh lumens. But the trade off is poor black levels. I even painted the wall and ceiling black. Painted side walls dark. Put dark side curtains on both sides near the screen. Helped a little by altering my perception. But not enough. Even watching in ECO mode. Or putting an ND2 filter on. Or watching at night with all light sources off. So I've purchased a cheap 130" grey screen fabric. I should get it tomorrow. And I will compare. If the grey material is better than the white, then with the help of my wife and her sowing skills, I'm going to trim it, punch holes around it, make sleeves to put the rods through and replace the white screen material from 'Elite' screen with the grey. I can always go back to white later if I change my mind. It's a lot cheaper than buying another screen and frame. Or maybe I can wrap my 120" fixed frame to make it look frameless? Hmmm. Again, thanks for the video. Definitely looks better.
th-cam.com/video/te6JSaT3cRc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BY22VQKt289HSxM0 in this video you can watch how proper ALR screen creates perfect black. Thank you for watching. Grey screens helps for black and ambient but these are cheap and low quality materials and view angle is very small. if you want to get best blacks for cheapest you need to paint the room with dark colors like cinema on the sides blackout curtains and use a screen with black lines on top and buttom. Thank you for watching and dont forget to subscribe and share for support 😊
bro im considering something similar but browsing the interwebs to see if anyone else has done it first.. I got a 120" elite white 16:9 screen but my projector is high lumens.. Wondering if I could DIY the grey fabric to the back side of the projector screen? This would allow me to have best of both worlds possibly, a white screen and grey screen just flip between the two when needed? Good luck to you would like to know how it went
@@pulsefiendno you cant have best of both worlds because most of the white projector screens have black back layer for protecting from light loss. You have to choose your screen for your projector.My complete guidemabout screens hopwfully be ready in couple of monts
You'll be chasing your tale forever trying to get good blacks from a bright projector. I've owned a number of ALR screens (Black Diamond, Da-lite Parallax, DNP Supernova). None of them work that well with the lights on and all degrade the image (compared to white) in a dark room. I have a 1300 lumen JVC and several bright Barco DLPs ranging from 3,000 to 10,000 lumen. The sacrifice necessary to get "good" blacks is not worth the sacrifice in image brightness. My advice is to get an anamorphic lens and / or variable masking. It's only the black borders on 2.35:1 wide-screen movies that cause problems (re poor blacks). With no black bars the problem goes away. Use the bright projector for what it's meant for. Cresting huge cinematic screens. 150"+. If you go the ALR route you will likely end up with a smaller screen. Get a 100" tv instead if that's the goal.
Straight to the point no bs, hope your channel grows asap. On ambient light it is day and night, as a trade of watch directly in front of it which is ok for a few bucks.
@@gurqhan couple of things you need to learn. Yhave to project where your head is even low angles feom your projector this screen fail so no cwiling mounting. My projector was Optoma UHD35 4k 3600 lümens its not gonna work with 250 ansilümen Wanbo Blitzwolf Vankyo style small projectors and color shift is another problem for even little bit of side angle. One last thing every screen material is different not all the same for these cheap ones. Ithink ideal setup is dark room white wall or white screen for entry level projectors and if you have expensive projectors you should get a proper ALR screens otherwise it would look like bad side angled tv cheap tv models

Thank you so much for uploading this. I just gor into videoprojectors and this is clearly a game changer. I had no idea this existed before. The color reproduction is on another level. It's like upgrading your projector for super cheap.
Well unfortunately no this screen has very bad side angles and you have to project from where your head is and that makes ceiling mount and other angles impossible. That is why after making 3 video I made a long guide about this : Don't Waste Money Cheapest ALR Screens ! ( Guide&Tutorial ) th-cam.com/video/uR71EOGo-bY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9ZZ340a-1xEtYX3g Because I used 800$ Optoma UHD35 4K 3600 Lümen Projector in that video that also could make you think it is great but its not . th-cam.com/video/TFSo9TIMVTc/w-d-xo.html Video Show How High End ALR screens Work and Quality Difference if you have cheap projector dont lose your money keep it use white wall.

they are very limited , but if you can make them work, they are great! silver screen have same fabric as Reflective Vests. they reflects light to same angle where light is coming from, which means you need to be close to projector, which also means you cant place projector on the ceiling it gotta be next to you
Dont forget this screen has very narrow angle and colors are shifting it is not a professional ALR Screen like th-cam.com/video/zayyBGr3HpA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RWxgTprAWll3kPoS in this video with very good side angles just like a TV rest of ALR Screen videos th-cam.com/video/ZrW7GIu7NI8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8wRj9I3pjBLNBZ5q you can look

side performans might be ok but buttom and upwards angles are awful. You might be thinking nothing wrong with that until you try ceiling mounted setup with angle.

In a pure Cinema setup it might be better (Darker room) to use ALR. On the other hand a pure white screen might be a better experience because it lights up the surrounding walls and ceiling and you can actually see what are doing. I always have to use a torch or small led source to be able to use my remote with ALR screens. In a slightly lighted room of a white projection screen this is a major advantage. This also saves you a bit on the energy bill. All those ambient light sources do not need to be on. Sometimes ALR screens have a right and left side that reflects ambient light differently. they can be mounted 180 degrees and look different. Not kidding.

- couple of things had to be mentioned. İn this video you see performance with Optoma UHD35 4K is 3600 ansilumen To get best picture from this screen you have to project same angle with your eyes which is very bad and I told about this in many videos. That is whay long throw ALR professional screens exist. There is no extreme shortcuts
@@homecinematech until now i've not watched a single video even compared to these about projector screens in terms of information, desmostration and dedication. I have an entry level projector about 500 ANSI lumens 1080 P, but the angle of ceilling mount didn't fit with grey screen it looks really bad, but now i know why. I only use the projector with no lghts so, i think a high gain white screen will be my best option. Thank u very much.
There are better screen materials if you have a good projector.Check out my latest guide videos .Dont forget I've used Optoma UHD35 4K projector in this video 😉
oh wow, the grey screen almost gives me oled tv feeling with the deep black and popping lights. I definitely try it out because you said they are not so expensive. I guess the effect of these grey screens can also be seen on very cheap projectors
No cheap projectors dont work because cheap projectors are not powerful enough you watch Optoma UHD35 4K projector on this cheap screen. You need brighter projector my recommend video th-cam.com/video/H5mudUfCGYQ/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/jk79bCqtdLo/w-d-xo.html

Very good comparison , I am planning to buy this cheap grey screen as i have very less budget , The projector Viewsonic PA 503 X which i intent to use on this screen is also very cheap , So i wanted to prove that with little money good results can also be achieved , Sometimes spending more cannot guarantee good results always. Why i wish to buy this screen and DIY , 1. Width of my room is just 10 Ft and length 18 ft , So the wide angle coloration theory wont work and i may get good results as i wish to utilise 100 inches screen , 2. Its very cheap and most suited to a low budget people like me , However my Sound system is a bit expensive B&W, Wharfed-ale,Denon , For Music Marantz stereo amp , Will share the results , However what u think ?

I think I know what the issue is with viewing from the side. The grey screen is obviously quite translucent (because you can see some of the ambient light coming through from behind the screen), so... When you are right in front of it, you don't only see the light reflected by the grey screen, but also the light that goes through the grey screen and is reflected by the white screen. When you move to a sharper angle, the light reflected by the white screen (behind the grey screen) is lost because the 'density' of the grey screen effectively goes up in the area between your eyes and the white screen. I'd be interested in seeing the difference when there's nothing behind the grey screen!

Thanks for your very straight forward video. Your eyes adjusted better to the ambient light than the camera did, but that is good because the camera shows us the screen images uncorrected, or at least objectively. I noticed the gray screen had a sheen to it, it was more reflective than a flat white screen. How big a difference could that be - sheen versus flat white or gray? My wall needs repainting anyway so I am researching what will do the trick to get the best brightness and colors in ambient light.

Nice! Good to see these sorts of tests. Which one would you recommend with a ceiling-mounted BenQ HT4550i / HT4000i with a 3m-wide screen at 3.7 throw distance in A COMPLETELY DARK ROOM? The point is simply to retain the peak white levels of a white screen, but DEEPEN the black levels - thereby expanding the contrast. Is this really possible?
You are aiming for near impossible.to retain the brightness you need to use white and if you do that you need to black out the rest of the room. th-cam.com/video/TFSo9TIMVTc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MqCWuD3LxrpiVjQG th-cam.com/video/BD8bY7oh5_k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oP9hU2sknXb1ZmF2 example videos shows what you need. To Achive best contrast you need a good projectpr over 2000 ansilümen projector I recommend over 3000 ansilümen and a good long throw or Ultra short throw Screen other than that you cant catch black levels. I also see you write this under cheapest material this material cant be used if you have an angle you have to project right where your eye level and head is otherwise you will loose the reflection and brightness a lot lets face it this is cheapest material😉👍
Great to see your enthusiasm to help others, I am planning to buy epson tw 7100 , for movie and youtube videos (cosmos and beautiful landscapes). can we use any VINYL PLASTIC MATTER GREY for deeper blacks. Kindly note, My choosen Projector already have 1:100000 contrast ratio.
Grey creates deeper blacks and for your projector little light loss will not be a problem.Ambient light rejection is the most important thing.if you havent watch that part of the video dont forgetto watch all of it .

I used lighter gray matte paint for less than 100 dollars a gallon at Lowes. But invested in High quality 1080p Epson projector. I don't buy cheap 100 dollar projector at Amazon. Invest in high quality projectors like BenQ, Optoma and Epson.
Have you seen other tutorials in this channel I was using 4K Optoma UHD35 in this test. and gray helps but this screen narrows the angle of light alot and creates very good ALR effect for 25$ and you dont have to paint the wall like a irriversible action
@@homecinematech I didn't mean anything bad buddy and I wasn't referring to your projector. I only meant to advise your viewers to invest in high quality projectors. Like yours! You have a good video and I like it. In my case I have no regret in painting my wall because it's in the basement. Soon I will buy my 4k projector. Now that some prices have gone down and my 1080p has already served its time. Then after that I will invest in making a bigger screen made of different material. 🤩
@@jhonphil2177 if you have dedicated basement paint an entire wall and forget about the size limits 😁 you can also use always dark room so you don have to paint something expensive even white will create good result. I dont have a seperate room (if I did have a room I would paint for sure just like you )👍
The fabric composition and type of weaving in the threads will have a bias on the light angle. To be able to get consistent distribution of light, best to have smooth, flat white color, surface, IMO. 15 years ago, I installed a DIY Home Depot 8ftx4ftx1/4" thick flat white hardboard panel, which cost about $18 dollars, on my family room, to create a sort of home theater experience screen, using a Vivitek D3538W-3D 3200 lumens 2D-3D projector, we use to watch regular dvd movies but also some cool 3D movies with 3D glasses.
White is the best if you have dark room walls are also need to be black because if the ceiling and walls are not too distant light reflects back to screen (in my room setup it does) this cheap alr is not the best screen but effective one.
@@homecinematech I would agree, but this also depends on the surface ability to reflect back light to the viewer, as this is what is happening, when we view screen. I have experimented with various types of fabric materials, but none, from polyester to cotton, and blends of such, including nylon, vinyl, PVC, ABS, painted surfaces, have been to my satisfaction. The board I used, in my previous comment, has had the highest light reflection and crip image, meaning not washed out and my room is also white walls with flat matte paint, but I only use my projector on w/e nights for movies. This same board just required mounting to wall, no preparation needed, use the white side as is, it has a flat matte finish, I believe it is acrylic. The only con is that it is 8x4 ft, but for my room size of 15x16FT, it is perfect with the same projector, which I just fired up recently after a few years of not being in use.
@@MarioIArguello as a professional photographer over 15+ years we use acrylic or plexy style material for product photo shoots because they create grate reflections. I also recommend using white plexy glass and back project it with ultra shorth throw it becomes like a tv directly. fixed screen setups are not in my focus I live in flat .if I had a spare room I would paint a wall and finish the screen but if you want to hide your screens in your living room I am trying different material to teach people.Thank you for your detailed information .I will check tgat material and try tfat if I find time to do .Best wishes to you on your home cinema journey
This really seems to be an ongoing thing I love watching projector TH-cam videos , every time there's always someone who's comparing different screen colors etc with ambient light with the living room light with the drapes open I don't get that I mean it's very simple just like trains operate on train tracks fish swim in the ocean well projectors require 100% light controlled rooms that's just the way it is and as far as these supposed gray or black screens that show better blacks they do and they don't because there's a trade off when you buy a projector with really bright lumens and you stick it on a gray screen or a black screen even with light controlled you are going to get blacker blacks but you're also going to lose those lumens because now the brightness is not going to be as bright so you got to ask yourself which one's more important to you a really bright picture or black blacks bcuz that's exactly what you're giving up kind of have to find your middle ground . If your goal is obtain the brightest brights im& the darkest dark simultaneously then you have to get a tv .
I totally agree but in my ne UST projector video without ALR I've showed how much contrast you can get ( my ALR professional screen is on the way) th-cam.com/video/wGu04GGoVO4/w-d-xo.html I hope you loved the content and I would love to have your feedback at my other videos

about your red curtain if you have colored surface your going to have color cast on your video and if your curtain is too dark and matte than it will consume lot of light that means you are going to need light power a lot more than 2500 ansilumen. . it is up to your budget but most budget way is still white wall

This screen does not work for ust projectors .Dont forget to watch this video I explained a lot th-cam.com/video/q_p6Fike8Yo/w-d-xo.html . I am always shearching for better products and I designing products for home cinema and tech solutions.if I find something it will be in the channel stay tuned subscribed. Ust projectors are expensive no wonder custom screens are expensive too .
Nice! Can these be stitched together for a larger screen? Or would the seam be too annoying? Any suggestions for low-cost ALR screen that is much larger, for a meeting room?
Stichng screen is not an option because it will create a line very disturbing.I've seen 133" www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001634072492.html / www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005221345252.html / but if you need bigger sizes than you can think using light glue to glue screen material on a surface side by side and maybe little overlay betwwen 2 screens
Those cheap ALR fabrics suffer from awful hotspoting. Even if projector stays dead centered you can see hotspot from light source. Ofc it is cheap and people cannot expect PQ like on the Black Diamond screens, but i would rather go ordinary gray screen or white to avoid hotspoting or save money and buy descent ALR screen.
I've made lot of tutorials in this channel if you have the budget of 500$ and above for screen + shipping cost than you can think Professional ALR screens but otherwise this could be option for people with 100$ cost projectors. I am not using it daily this was to show how it performans. it really works with narrow angle. I will soon show professional tensioned ALR screens for people perefer good quality and money to back that up .if you watch videos like th-cam.com/video/ILZoU8dRDvo/w-d-xo.html or th-cam.com/video/RbxsJpdViuk/w-d-xo.html / th-cam.com/video/wG4fpVeI9lk/w-d-xo.html you'll understand I show things to teach others
I just bought two of Aliexpress. Awaiting the delivery of my first UST projector as well. I did not have the money for ALR screen so this seems like a good compromise for the time being.
This is the most budget friendly way to achive alr screen.You need to create tension for this screen create cheap frame or stick it to wall ? But dont forget you need to project this screen from strait angle because angle is very narrow.
İf you have ust projectors it might not work properly these are for regular projectors and side angles and below above is restricted like I've showed you. You need to buy expensive alr screens if you are going to use ust projectors from 45 degree angle below. İf you dont cancel your order and try them please let us know the results

Thank you very much for your great comparison😀I have a k45 byintek projector with 700 ansi lumen and 18000:1 contrast.I usually use it in a dark room but sometimes also with soft ambient lights.I was looking for a tensioned and motorized projection screen to buy and found two projection screens:one white projection screen with 1.0 gain factor and 140 degrees viewing angle and one grey projection screen with 0.9 gain factor and 150 degrees viewing angle.Which one do you suggest😀?Do you suggest white or grey projection screen in general?Thank you very much in advance😀.Looking forward to your reply,best regards🤗(Sorry for my english🥲)
Grey screens create more contrast but gain level of 0.9 lowers the brightness but after testing lot of stuff as far as I can tell if the contrast and black level is good you dont see that loss of peak brightness.And also grey screens does not reflect lights coming from ceiling and white walls in darkened room with white walls.if you can put this screen to a wall by stretching on a wood diy frame you can create tv style screen for arround 50$ in total.But not every scenario is for fixed screen .That is up to you. If I have tested grey screens I would have gone grey in my setup but I've installed white screen and I dont have much options to go back and do all over again. Short Answer I would go grey 😊 But if you can darken your room I would fisrt go for upgrading my projector. Screen is like brakes suspension or wheels it helps in total but they are not power source.Maybe instead of buying a motorized screen you can go for selling your projector and buyin one with 2000 ansilumen and above model (might be second hand too) then later wben you have the budget you can buy screen ?

good explanatory video, if I had found it before buying that fabric that is not worth it. As you well indicate, you have to be completely focused on the field of vision, but the projector must also be in the middle of the canvas both horizontally and vertically. And what you have not noticed is the horrible reflection that it produces behind you, it is an uncomfortable reflection and I would say that it is dangerous, definitely wasted money, greetings.
Well when your room lights are on you dont see reflection behind you and if you want to use is as tv with lights on because fully dark room is not for everyday use . This is cheapest way to create ambient light rejection and I think it works for the money. I didnt say it is the best screen 😊 For this price there could be compromises.
I am in the process of using a blackout roller blind on a window as a projector screen. How dark should the grey be? Does a lighter grey screen work just as good?
th-cam.com/video/wG4fpVeI9lk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KwOcahGrJEXG3laH after watching this video if you are not looking for lighted room use I recommend 2 curtains one Black or dark to block the sun and second one lighter color for better projection .

This video was just for giving an idea how you can use it in a room if you are in a budget. in my personal opinion if you have more than 1000$ budget and a room for cinema setup . Painting the wall and buying most qualified (expensive) projector is best way to go since it can be fully dark room . Others with motorized setups and ALR screens are for people with more than 1500$-2000$+ Money and decent room .

view angle is very narrow so it could be difficult to do it. Another thing is screen is 16:9 ratio so you need to apply 2 screens on top of eachother so top screen wont be showing same quality with front screen

I have such cheap screen from ebay, but the hotspot and narrow viewing angle is just horrible! Really. It's good only for 1 or 2 person. If i place myself 60-80cm to the left or right from the center, i will loose all the advantage!

Hey! I got this exact projector screen, but the viewing angles are horrible. Literally 1 degree off axis (so anywhere except not directly behind the projector) and you get none of the ambient light rejection. Any ideas on why this is the case?
@@relaxvideo3d Hey! came back to update you on this, I think I figured out how these are supposed to work. My understanding is that the vertical viewing angle is bad, but the horizontal viewing angle is pretty useable (40-60 degrees). I.e., you should get much better performance if you position the projector's height around the same level as your eyes!
Very interesting even surprising that grey screen performs better than white even with lights off. Presumably this is because there are still some ambient lights which are absorbed by the grey screen making picture clearer and brighter. Guess if ambient lights are comoletely shut then white screen would be better or same.
if it is light green there will be no problem you can adjust your projector to get the colors right but. if its a dark green than you have to buy or create white or ALR screen surface. if your walls are not too close to each other than you can use white screen in dark room th-cam.com/video/te6JSaT3cRc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6pnmWZ01l6I0qLzg this video will explain some

ปีที่แล้ว
In such type screen where is best place to put projector? I have plan t9 make screen straight from bed, and only place for device would be on the left side of bed on the cabinet. About the height of the top edge of screen. Head will be exactly 1/3 of screen from bottom. As per product description it should be fine. What do tiu think guys?
This screen needs 90 degre strait projection angle if you project with more than 10 degrees you will see darker bad screen.View angle is very narrow.if you want to try you can but I made 3 different video with same screen you can check tem out
Ligh behind the back is my philips hue strips for my ambient light . Without opening them I cant show you proper visuals . I did not want to shoot full dark video just to show screen itself but also enviroment. Sharpness is good and contrast is even better for this cheap price. You have to project from strait angle not low not high from ceiling just strait to screen other than that you see narrow view angle. if these are not problem this is bargain
Side angles changes a lot for view quality like cheap tv versus decent qled tv models. You have to project not just straight but you have to project right where your head is with this screen material if you will have angles you will have some issues.You can live with this as a cheap solution but Roll down ALR is the one to choose for good over 500$ projectors in. My opinion but it is very cheap ypu can buy and test try to use it if you want 😊
My projectors lens shift ranges from 110% to 130%. Will this be a problem you think? How far above your head can the projector be allocated before viewing angle becomes a problem on lets say 3 meters viewing distance from the projector to the screen that is 100"?
th-cam.com/video/q_p6Fike8Yo/w-d-xo.html video is the last episode of cheapest ALR screen and I realized perfect visual can be achived when you watch from the angle you projected it should be closed to 90 degre to a screen . Projector had the hight of my head in this video just side of me that was it. I havent try the top but in the link that I've sent you I've tried reverse projecting from buttom and result was awful if I did not sit the same angle I've projected. I dont recommend to us this screen from more than 15" of angle from top

The most honest comparison test so far. I'm stuck on the same dilemma. Purchased an LED / DLP projector. Super bright. HIgh lumens. But the trade off is poor black levels. I even painted the wall and ceiling black. Painted side walls dark. Put dark side curtains on both sides near the screen. Helped a little by altering my perception. But not enough. Even watching in ECO mode. Or putting an ND2 filter on. Or watching at night with all light sources off. So I've purchased a cheap 130" grey screen fabric. I should get it tomorrow. And I will compare. If the grey material is better than the white, then with the help of my wife and her sowing skills, I'm going to trim it, punch holes around it, make sleeves to put the rods through and replace the white screen material from 'Elite' screen with the grey. I can always go back to white later if I change my mind. It's a lot cheaper than buying another screen and frame. Or maybe I can wrap my 120" fixed frame to make it look frameless? Hmmm. Again, thanks for the video. Definitely looks better.
th-cam.com/video/te6JSaT3cRc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BY22VQKt289HSxM0 in this video you can watch how proper ALR screen creates perfect black. Thank you for watching.
Grey screens helps for black and ambient but these are cheap and low quality materials and view angle is very small. if you want to get best blacks for cheapest you need to paint the room with dark colors like cinema on the sides blackout curtains and use a screen with black lines on top and buttom. Thank you for watching and dont forget to subscribe and share for support 😊
bro im considering something similar but browsing the interwebs to see if anyone else has done it first.. I got a 120" elite white 16:9 screen but my projector is high lumens.. Wondering if I could DIY the grey fabric to the back side of the projector screen? This would allow me to have best of both worlds possibly, a white screen and grey screen just flip between the two when needed? Good luck to you would like to know how it went
How did it go?
@@pulsefiendno you cant have best of both worlds because most of the white projector screens have black back layer for protecting from light loss. You have to choose your screen for your projector.My complete guidemabout screens hopwfully be ready in couple of monts
You'll be chasing your tale forever trying to get good blacks from a bright projector. I've owned a number of ALR screens (Black Diamond, Da-lite Parallax, DNP Supernova). None of them work that well with the lights on and all degrade the image (compared to white) in a dark room.
I have a 1300 lumen JVC and several bright Barco DLPs ranging from 3,000 to 10,000 lumen. The sacrifice necessary to get "good" blacks is not worth the sacrifice in image brightness.
My advice is to get an anamorphic lens and / or variable masking. It's only the black borders on 2.35:1 wide-screen movies that cause problems (re poor blacks). With no black bars the problem goes away.
Use the bright projector for what it's meant for. Cresting huge cinematic screens. 150"+. If you go the ALR route you will likely end up with a smaller screen. Get a 100" tv instead if that's the goal.
Straight to the point no bs, hope your channel grows asap. On ambient light it is day and night, as a trade of watch directly in front of it which is ok for a few bucks.
@@gurqhan couple of things you need to learn. Yhave to project where your head is even low angles feom your projector this screen fail so no cwiling mounting. My projector was Optoma UHD35 4k 3600 lümens its not gonna work with 250 ansilümen Wanbo Blitzwolf Vankyo style small projectors and color shift is another problem for even little bit of side angle.

Good job done by you
Thank you.New videos are coming soon about this topic
they are very limited , but if you can make them work, they are great! silver screen have same fabric as Reflective Vests. they reflects light to same angle where light is coming from, which means you need to be close to projector, which also means you cant place projector on the ceiling it gotta be next to you
Yes you are right. If you have low budget this is a good option with very narrow field of view and they dont work with Ultra Short Throw projectors

The flatter you get the gray screen the better it will work and it actually shows a better than it does on there if you looking at it from the side
side performans might be ok but buttom and upwards angles are awful. You might be thinking nothing wrong with that until you try ceiling mounted setup with angle. You need to watch from where you projected from. Projector needs to be always with your head level. th-cam.com/video/TFSo9TIMVTc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rstf49p7VGUMwwbJ / th-cam.com/video/BD8bY7oh5_k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rOYqyBWUIjZNYt5p / th-cam.com/video/k0cDMpVS2OA/w-d-xo.html covers everything I guess

Even the cheapest ALR screen cost about price of my projector (Benq TK 700) so Its definitely not for my budget😮 I will try to put this curtain on a frame(just ordered) and We will see😅.

ive tried just about everything from carls to polyester crap, but this one is fantastic !! $10 Kate 5ft×7ft Solid White Backdro on amazon . made a 80x50 frame from 2x3x96 at lowes then stretched the backdrop over the frame used push pins to hold then hung on wall with 2 nails . for a projector i have a $140 auking v30 that works off a laptop . its crystal clear at 1080p in my bedroom with and without the light on . less than $200 for a 100 inch setup is stupid cheap !
this material is very cheap but you need to watch from where you project like your head level otherwise it sucks at contrast and colors .it is cheapest but also limiting for lot of scenarios with couple of people use th-cam.com/video/TFSo9TIMVTc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=nYIWCB-d_3_gfoph video shows UST ALR this video th-cam.com/video/BD8bY7oh5_k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vrxbQSffCH-TkK0I shows long throw professional ALR and th-cam.com/video/k0cDMpVS2OA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=etjasTUr2zpe876m every material possible
In a pure Cinema setup it might be better (Darker room) to use ALR. On the other hand a pure white screen might be a better experience because it lights up the surrounding walls and ceiling and you can actually see what are doing. I always have to use a torch or small led source to be able to use my remote with ALR screens. In a slightly lighted room of a white projection screen this is a major advantage. This also saves you a bit on the energy bill. All those ambient light sources do not need to be on. Sometimes ALR screens have a right and left side that reflects ambient light differently. they can be mounted 180 degrees and look different. Not kidding.

The grey screen helps the black look more black👍🏽👊🏽
And also cancels lot of ambient light as you see in the end of the video
oh wow, the grey screen almost gives me oled tv feeling with the deep black and popping lights. I definitely try it out because you said they are not so expensive. I guess the effect of these grey screens can also be seen on very cheap projectors

Very good comparison , I am planning to buy this cheap grey screen as i have very less budget , The projector Viewsonic PA 503 X which i intent to use on this screen is also very cheap , So i wanted to prove that with little money good results can also be achieved , Sometimes spending more cannot guarantee good results always. Why i wish to buy this screen and DIY , 1. Width of my room is just 10 Ft and length 18 ft , So the wide angle coloration theory wont work and i may get good results as i wish to utilise 100 inches screen , 2. Its very cheap and most suited to a low budget people like me , However my Sound system is a bit expensive B&W, Wharfed-ale,Denon , For Music Marantz stereo amp , Will share the results , However what u think ?

I think I know what the issue is with viewing from the side. The grey screen is obviously quite translucent (because you can see some of the ambient light coming through from behind the screen), so... When you are right in front of it, you don't only see the light reflected by the grey screen, but also the light that goes through the grey screen and is reflected by the white screen. When you move to a sharper angle, the light reflected by the white screen (behind the grey screen) is lost because the 'density' of the grey screen effectively goes up in the area between your eyes and the white screen.
I'd be interested in seeing the difference when there's nothing behind the grey screen!

Thanks for your very straight forward video. Your eyes adjusted better to the ambient light than the camera did, but that is good because the camera shows us the screen images uncorrected, or at least objectively. I noticed the gray screen had a sheen to it, it was more reflective than a flat white screen. How big a difference could that be - sheen versus flat white or gray? My wall needs repainting anyway so I am researching what will do the trick to get the best brightness and colors in ambient light.

Nice! Good to see these sorts of tests. Which one would you recommend with a ceiling-mounted BenQ HT4550i / HT4000i with a 3m-wide screen at 3.7 throw distance in A COMPLETELY DARK ROOM? The point is simply to retain the peak white levels of a white screen, but DEEPEN the black levels - thereby expanding the contrast. Is this really possible?
You are aiming for near impossible.to retain the brightness you need to use white and if you do that you need to black out the rest of the room.

I used lighter gray matte paint for less than 100 dollars a gallon at Lowes. But invested in High quality 1080p Epson projector. I don't buy cheap 100 dollar projector at Amazon. Invest in high quality projectors like BenQ, Optoma and Epson.
Have you seen other tutorials in this channel I was using 4K Optoma UHD35 in this test. and gray helps but this screen narrows the angle of light alot and creates very good ALR effect for 25$ and you dont have to paint the wall like a irriversible action
@@homecinematech I didn't mean anything bad buddy and I wasn't referring to your projector. I only meant to advise your viewers to invest in high quality projectors. Like yours! You have a good video and I like it. In my case I have no regret in painting my wall because it's in the basement. Soon I will buy my 4k projector. Now that some prices have gone down and my 1080p has already served its time. Then after that I will invest in making a bigger screen made of different material. 🤩
@@jhonphil2177 if you have dedicated basement paint an entire wall and forget about the size limits 😁 you can also use always dark room so you don have to paint something expensive even white will create good result. I dont have a seperate room (if I did have a room I would paint for sure just like you )👍
The fabric composition and type of weaving in the threads will have a bias on the light angle. To be able to get consistent distribution of light, best to have smooth, flat white color, surface, IMO. 15 years ago, I installed a DIY Home Depot 8ftx4ftx1/4" thick flat white hardboard panel, which cost about $18 dollars, on my family room, to create a sort of home theater experience screen, using a Vivitek D3538W-3D 3200 lumens 2D-3D projector, we use to watch regular dvd movies but also some cool 3D movies with 3D glasses.
White is the best if you have dark room walls are also need to be black because if the ceiling and walls are not too distant light reflects back to screen (in my room setup it does) this cheap alr is not the best screen but effective one.
@@homecinematech I would agree, but this also depends on the surface ability to reflect back light to the viewer, as this is what is happening, when we view screen. I have experimented with various types of fabric materials, but none, from polyester to cotton, and blends of such, including nylon, vinyl, PVC, ABS, painted surfaces, have been to my satisfaction.
The board I used, in my previous comment, has had the highest light reflection and crip image, meaning not washed out and my room is also white walls with flat matte paint, but I only use my projector on w/e nights for movies. This same board just required mounting to wall, no preparation needed, use the white side as is, it has a flat matte finish, I believe it is acrylic. The only con is that it is 8x4 ft, but for my room size of 15x16FT, it is perfect with the same projector, which I just fired up recently after a few years of not being in use.
@@MarioIArguello as a professional photographer over 15+ years we use acrylic or plexy style material for product photo shoots because they create grate reflections. I also recommend using white plexy glass and back project it with ultra shorth throw it becomes like a tv directly. fixed screen setups are not in my focus I live in flat .if I had a spare room I would paint a wall and finish the screen but if you want to hide your screens in your living room I am trying different material to teach people.Thank you for your detailed information .I will check tgat material and try tfat if I find time to do .Best wishes to you on your home cinema journey
if you have links of your material could you please send me so I can check in my country
@@homecinematech Thanks for this great tip. I also have white walls all over the screen. So this material helps reflect less the light?
This really seems to be an ongoing thing I love watching projector TH-cam videos , every time there's always someone who's comparing different screen colors etc with ambient light with the living room light with the drapes open I don't get that I mean it's very simple just like trains operate on train tracks fish swim in the ocean well projectors require 100% light controlled rooms that's just the way it is and as far as these supposed gray or black screens that show better blacks they do and they don't because there's a trade off when you buy a projector with really bright lumens and you stick it on a gray screen or a black screen even with light controlled you are going to get blacker blacks but you're also going to lose those lumens because now the brightness is not going to be as bright so you got to ask yourself which one's more important to you a really bright picture or black blacks bcuz that's exactly what you're giving up kind of have to find your middle ground . If your goal is obtain the brightest brights im& the darkest dark simultaneously then you have to get a tv .

about your red curtain if you have colored surface your going to have color cast on your video and if your curtain is too dark and matte than it will consume lot of light that means you are going to need light power a lot more than 2500 ansilumen. . it is up to your budget but most budget way is still white wall

Hi, thank you for your videos. Can you please advice budget ALR UST screen or cloth and where to buy?
This screen does not work for ust projectors .Dont forget to watch this video I explained a lot th-cam.com/video/q_p6Fike8Yo/w-d-xo.html . I am always shearching for better products and I designing products for home cinema and tech solutions.if I find something it will be in the channel stay tuned subscribed. Ust projectors are expensive no wonder custom screens are expensive too .
Good video!
Nice! Can these be stitched together for a larger screen? Or would the seam be too annoying? Any suggestions for low-cost ALR screen that is much larger, for a meeting room?
Stichng screen is not an option because it will create a line very disturbing.I've seen 133" www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001634072492.html / www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005221345252.html / but if you need bigger sizes than you can think using light glue to glue screen material on a surface side by side and maybe little overlay betwwen 2 screens
Those cheap ALR fabrics suffer from awful hotspoting. Even if projector stays dead centered you can see hotspot from light source. Ofc it is cheap and people cannot expect PQ like on the Black Diamond screens, but i would rather go ordinary gray screen or white to avoid hotspoting or save money and buy descent ALR screen.
I've made lot of tutorials in this channel if you have the budget of 500$ and above for screen + shipping cost than you can think Professional ALR screens but otherwise this could be option for people with 100$ cost projectors. I am not using it daily this was to show how it performans. it really works with narrow angle. I will soon show professional tensioned ALR screens for people perefer good quality and money to back that up .if you watch videos like th-cam.com/video/ILZoU8dRDvo/w-d-xo.html or th-cam.com/video/RbxsJpdViuk/w-d-xo.html / th-cam.com/video/wG4fpVeI9lk/w-d-xo.html you'll understand I show things to teach others
I just bought two of Aliexpress. Awaiting the delivery of my first UST projector as well. I did not have the money for ALR screen so this seems like a good compromise for the time being.
This is the most budget friendly way to achive alr screen.You need to create tension for this screen create cheap frame or stick it to wall ? But dont forget you need to project this screen from strait angle because angle is very narrow.
İf you have ust projectors it might not work properly these are for regular projectors and side angles and below above is restricted like I've showed you. You need to buy expensive alr screens if you are going to use ust projectors from 45 degree angle below. İf you dont cancel your order and try them please let us know the results

Thank you very much for your great comparison😀I have a k45 byintek projector with 700 ansi lumen and 18000:1 contrast.I usually use it in a dark room but sometimes also with soft ambient lights.I was looking for a tensioned and motorized projection screen to buy and found two projection screens:one white projection screen with 1.0 gain factor and 140 degrees viewing angle and one grey projection screen with 0.9 gain factor and 150 degrees viewing angle.Which one do you suggest😀?Do you suggest white or grey projection screen in general?Thank you very much in advance😀.Looking forward to your reply,best regards🤗(Sorry for my english🥲)
Grey screens create more contrast but gain level of 0.9 lowers the brightness but after testing lot of stuff as far as I can tell if the contrast and black level is good you dont see that loss of peak brightness.And also grey screens does not reflect lights coming from ceiling and white walls in darkened room with white walls.if you can put this screen to a wall by stretching on a wood diy frame you can create tv style screen for arround 50$ in total.But not every scenario is for fixed screen .That is up to you. If I have tested grey screens I would have gone grey in my setup but I've installed white screen and I dont have much options to go back and do all over again. Short Answer I would go grey 😊
But if you can darken your room I would fisrt go for upgrading my projector.
Screen is like brakes suspension or wheels it helps in total but they are not power source.Maybe instead of buying a motorized screen you can go for selling your projector and buyin one with 2000 ansilumen and above model (might be second hand too) then later wben you have the budget you can buy screen ?

good explanatory video, if I had found it before buying that fabric that is not worth it. As you well indicate, you have to be completely focused on the field of vision, but the projector must also be in the middle of the canvas both horizontally and vertically. And what you have not noticed is the horrible reflection that it produces behind you, it is an uncomfortable reflection and I would say that it is dangerous, definitely wasted money, greetings.
Well when your room lights are on you dont see reflection behind you and if you want to use is as tv with lights on because fully dark room is not for everyday use . This is cheapest way to create ambient light rejection and I think it works for the money. I didnt say it is the best screen 😊 For this price there could be compromises.
@@homecinematechhow big is your screen size in inches and how much for that size alr screen
I am in the process of using a blackout roller blind on a window as a projector screen. How dark should the grey be? Does a lighter grey screen work just as good?
th-cam.com/video/wG4fpVeI9lk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KwOcahGrJEXG3laH after watching this video if you are not looking for lighted room use I recommend 2 curtains one Black or dark to block the sun and second one lighter color for better projection . Darker colors absorbs lot of lights and if you have very powerfull projector you might be able to overcome light loss but if you dont I recommend 2 roll up curtains.
I recommend White blow but if you want to go cheap that is your choice

Legit I'm trying to figure out what would be better for a 40 degree keystone correction for projector shining on the screen in that way but viewing from directly in front of screen what would be best then? That is going to be the place I'm putting my projector so lmk if you can test it out or if you know (purchasing grey or white screen is better?)
this screen has very narrow angle and you have to project directly same angle as your head or your eyes other wise if you throw from any angle you have to sit that angle to see the screen. because this is very cheap amateur screen.

This kind of screen can be used for the primary projector with hundreds of dollars, mainly because it is very cheap.

Yes you are selling Pro level better projector Screens
it is ideal to purchase the best screen you can have
I am not using this screen myself ! ( I've told this in video )
Being cheap does not always means somting is not good or decent enough.
You can paint your wall with pro paints and create better image quality than lot of screens on market !
This video was just for giving an idea how you can use it in a room if you are in a budget.
in my personal opinion if you have more than 1000$ budget and a room for cinema setup .
Painting the wall and buying most qualified (expensive) projector is best way to go since it can be fully dark room .
Others with motorized setups and ALR screens are for people with more than 1500$-2000$+ Money and decent room .

I have such cheap screen from ebay, but the hotspot and narrow viewing angle is just horrible! Really. It's good only for 1 or 2 person. If i place myself 60-80cm to the left or right from the center, i will loose all the advantage! But from the very center it's so powerful, that i can easily watch movies outdoor on a sunny day with a simple 3.000 lumen Epson. No joke! But as i wrote it's only good for 1-2 people. So what's the next step in price and increased viewing angle (at least 30-40 degree) which is still affordable, not so expensive like a professional ALR screen? thanks

@@relaxvideo3d Hey! came back to update you on this, I think I figured out how these are supposed to work. My understanding is that the vertical viewing angle is bad, but the horizontal viewing angle is pretty useable (40-60 degrees). I.e., you should get much better performance if you position the projector's height around the same level as your eyes!
Very interesting even surprising that grey screen performs better than white even with lights off. Presumably this is because there are still some ambient lights which are absorbed by the grey screen making picture clearer and brighter. Guess if ambient lights are comoletely shut then white screen would be better or same.

if it is light green there will be no problem you can adjust your projector to get the colors right but. if its a dark green than you have to buy or create white or ALR screen surface. if your walls are not too close to each other than you can use white screen in dark room th-cam.com/video/te6JSaT3cRc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6pnmWZ01l6I0qLzg this video will explain some

In such type screen where is best place to put projector? I have plan t9 make screen straight from bed, and only place for device would be on the left side of bed on the cabinet. About the height of the top edge of screen. Head will be exactly 1/3 of screen from bottom. As per product description it should be fine. What do tiu think guys?
This screen needs 90 degre strait projection angle if you project with more than 10 degrees you will see darker bad screen.View angle is very narrow.if you want to try you can but I made 3 different video with same screen you can check tem out
Is there light bleed behind it?
The surface seems very smooth, does this affect sharpness ?
Thank you for showing this great cheaper product
Ligh behind the back is my philips hue strips for my ambient light . Without opening them I cant show you proper visuals . I did not want to shoot full dark video just to show screen itself but also enviroment. Sharpness is good and contrast is even better for this cheap price. You have to project from strait angle not low not high from ceiling just strait to screen other than that you see narrow view angle. if these are not problem this is bargain

how much better would your roll up ALR screen be vs this cheap on , if on a diy frame. just from the front, I dont need side anything.
Side angles changes a lot for view quality like cheap tv versus decent qled tv models. You have to project not just straight but you have to project right where your head is with this screen material if you will have angles you will have some issues.You can live with this as a cheap solution but Roll down ALR is the one to choose for good over 500$ projectors in. My opinion but it is very cheap ypu can buy and test try to use it if you want 😊
Can I get the same effect if we paint the wall with a gray color for gray projection?
Same question. can someone answer?? thank you
My projectors lens shift ranges from 110% to 130%. Will this be a problem you think? How far above your head can the projector be allocated before viewing angle becomes a problem on lets say 3 meters viewing distance from the projector to the screen that is 100"?
th-cam.com/video/q_p6Fike8Yo/w-d-xo.html video is the last episode of cheapest ALR screen and I realized perfect visual can be achived when you watch from the angle you projected it should be closed to 90 degre to a screen . Projector had the hight of my head in this video just side of me that was it. I havent try the top but in the link that I've sent you I've tried reverse projecting from buttom and result was awful if I did not sit the same angle I've projected.
