I had problems myself with 3 footers. I have all 6 foot HDMI interconnect cables now.

Okay, just tried a 5-footer and a 6-footer. I have a 5-tier vertical rack so I had bought a few sizes. No change. I'm betting on the X4200 being bad, I'll report tomorrow.

I have a Sherwin-Williams near me with Benjamin Moore across the street. The Sherwin-Williams store had LRV for all of their paints. The Benjamin Moore store didn't know what is was talking about.

I used SW 6258 Tricorn Black which has an LRV of 2 or 3 depending on the card. That's about as low as it can get.

It's black pit now. The ceiling fan light that was there before only lights up the center of the room and you can't see anything at the walls and corners.

There is a Rosco paint that's popular but generally has to be ordered online and shipped.

I'd use the velvet were you can and paint what you must.

Some of the final readings were at the lower limit of the meter.

Thanks, I appreciate the details!
Here's a picture of my ceiling. Do you think the SW 6258 Tricorn Black will make a difference?
I would probably paint the tiles and grids about 10' back from the screen.
The walls are being curtained.

I order the Roscoe Black Velour from B & H Photo. The stuff is crazy dark.

Nice! Do you happen to remember the dilution with water ratio you used! I would be painting overhead, so don't want it too thin or thick.
I ordered a gallon...

With as much time that I have spent on B&H, I never saw or thought of looking for paint!

Do they have black velour? ;)

Yes, but there is a lead time of possibly a couple of weeks, I assume they need to get it from the manufacturer. I ordered from Rose Brand, in stock, but more that B&H because of shipping.
I'm thinking of thinning it, not quite 1:1 and using a high quality brush, or should I try to roll it? (this is for my 2' x 4' black ceiling tiles and grids.) I think I'll try about 6' back, and go from there.

I bet David Vaughn could assist with the Benjamin More info if you needed a comparison.

I wish I had seen this earlier..yes, my day job is with Benjamin Moore (you can look me up on LinkedIn). I painted my ceiling with Benjamin Moore's Waterborne Ceiling Paint in black (12 ounces of black colorant). It's dead flat and works well, just don't touch it because it isn't made to be touched. Regardless, my front wall is done all in JoAnne's velvet (I don't remember what it's called), but it works great. Here's what the front of my room looks like. Here are the before and after pictures.

By the way...the wine rack is gone and in its place is a small table that houses the Lego Millennium Falcon,--something my wife bought me for X-mass a couple of years ago. I'll take some recent pictures--I have a bunch of Star Wars Legos on display.

Now you just need to throw some black carpeting over that white carpeting !!

I keep working on my wife in that regard. I pushed my luck with the black ceiling and wall...I'd love to have a black pit--I'll wear her down eventually

Update, I received an X4400H today. All 4K and HDR works great now with all devices and all cables. My X4200W is at fault. I'll be taking it in for repair.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to help me with ideas to try. I appreciate it!

Yes, I know. We covered that on the other forum.

Build a box on one side of the room, attach one end of a roll of black carpet inside, roll it out watch the movie and roll it back when done! Simple!

(hopefully some one will see the value of the rolled out carpet!)

Hi Mike, thanks for the name of the device, I may have to go that route if nothing else works.

If I can help you with that, let me know.
