Banned at AVSForum

I'm not nearly deceptive enough to pull something like that off.

Eh. They have a bot that reads ip addresses and insta bans multiple accounts

That is what VPNs are for.

Damn... Just learned Seegs was banned from AVSForum a while ago.


Wow, what happened to that place.

It boils down to Sony fanboys complaining enough to the point where the mods got sick of it and they banned me. This was last November iirc.

You have always been a level headed and straight forward guy. They are losing some good people and that is pretty ridiculous.

Glad to see you still have an outlet to communicate with people in this industry and hobby.

Anyone thinking that Coderguy needs a full time job?!   

... his own screen thread??!!   

... his own projector thread???!!!

Well, just think, he's going to recreate the HP screen.

Good luck with that. I know the 2.8 HP screen was loved, but frankly, it wasn't perfect. It had it's place back in the day when DLP projectors were lucky to muster 500 lumens at best. Not so much today.

[Dylan Seeger]

In an era where most high contrast projectors were only outputting ~600 lumens they made a lot of sense to be able to go bigger on screen size while still retaining a decent ftL. I still have my roll down 2.4 gain version screen. It's been a while since I've used it, but I plan on keeping it around. A semiportable screen can come in handy.

I remember Darin telling me what the issues with the High Power were, but I don't recall. What were they?


Some may recall that a company out of China had a retroreflective fabric. I bought some, because it was cheap. Unfortunately, it wasn't that great.

There was a lot of inconsistency in the optical coating so quality control was difficult for Da-lite. This was mostly when they switched to the 2.4 gain material. I went through 3 screens myself before I got a sample I was happy with. I think the attrition rate was so high that Da-Lite couldn't make a lot of money from them anymore and stopped selling it. I think there was an issue with supply too from China.
