Acoustical Transparent Screen
I am considering selling my two year old Sim2 Mico 60c and moving on to the Sony VPL-VW1000ES 4k projector. To take full advantage of the 4k resolution I would be replacing my current 100" Studiotek 130 screen with a microperf x2 150" drop-down Stewart screen at a viewing distance of 18.5'. The layout of the room requires that the screen drop in front of the LCR and Sub for video.
As I want to keep the front speakers for both 2-channel (Screen Up) and Theater (Screen Down) I am trying to understand how much effect the screen will have on the audio frequencies and if I will need to equalize for theater and bypass the equalization for 2-channel. My research into RP in my McIntosh MX150 indicates that it is iffy that the RP will do the job entirely. I would sure like to hear about the experience of those who installed the perf screen. |
John... A micro perf screen even from Stewart would be a Huge mistake. I didn't listen to my Video Tech and got one, 3 months and $10k later I replaced it. :sigh:

I would never do it unless there was absolutely no other way. You lose so much picture quality. The difference between a microperf & non microperf screen is really night and day in terms of picture quality.

Well there would be no plan "B" as the largest screen that would fit between the L/R and drop above the C and Subs would be 106". Not large enough to fully exploit the 4k projector resolution and a waste of money.
Sony sent over a 4k a few months ago and there was a slight perceived improvement, dependent on source material, but it definitely needed a larger screen for full appreciation of the resolution. |
I would not go with a microperf screen either. I have seen a MICO 150 and a DPI project onto one at my dealer. The perforations were clearly there from the viewing position. There was also an effect on motion, if I recall.
