Title: v6 Pictures
Post by: Death Dream on November 14, 2016, 06:26:29 PM
Figured I would make a post where everyone can post some pictures of their v6 screen.

Overall - fairly easy to build a DIY frame and attach the screen with the grip rails. The longest process of the whole thing is just waiting for the glue to dry.

Pain points - Corners into the grip rails is kind of difficult.

Nice job on the screen and thanks for the documentation. This will help others that are interested in going DIY with the V6 fabric.

surely shows the "pop" I've been looking for! (currently lighting up spandex).
I glanced briefly at your build thread...lotsa helpful info there...but with that quick look, I didn't see any mention of what screen you might have used before the V6?  I'm looking for comparisons.

I used a Silver Ticket non-AT 150in screen with a $500 projector. I can defiantly tell the difference between the two screens. I cannot see the grain of the screen at all even from my front row which is 10 feet away from the screen.

That was the goal. The grip rails made attaching the screen really easy. Gluing them off took a lot of time but the end result was worth it.

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised at how well and how quick it was to attach the fabric, once the rails were in place. The tension system works very well. My fabric is perfectly flat, without a single blemish.
