Projector Screen Paint

I have had a projector now for a few years and the biggest problem with it is the quality of screen. Good ones cost a bomb and cheap ones just distort the picture because they are not flat and have creases in them or even just fall down. This is where the screen paint can be handy. If you have a spare wall handy then get your self some Mighty Brighty. All you need to do is measure out the screen dimensions and paint with the set of paints on to the wall. A number of kits are available starting at $190 all the way up to $580. For the lower version you get a base and top coat. The middle version ads some gray tinting and also provides borders that can be attached to change the size of the screen. The most expensive version is basically paint for the whole wall so that it is the same colour of the screen and doesnt stand out when not used.

You are probably asking the question “why cant I just go buy a $20 pot of white or gray paint and create my own screen?” Thats a good question and it comes down to quality of the picture. As you are aware, a white wall or even coloured wall can be used if the RGB is adjusted. However, to get the perfect picture you need to have the right colour which also gives plenty of contrast.
