[simpits-tech] Projector screen

[Alan D. Mazurka]

lads..

from the "hideously cheap" screen department: i recently upgraded my (front 
projection) bedsheet with a 4x8 sheet of foam core. the resulting 
performance in all parameters is quite satisfying.

foam core is a sandwich of cardboard-foam-cardboard used for building movie 
sets and architectural models. it is really lightweight and the cardboard 
surface is as white as it gets. it is also very planar, so it holds good 
focus (no frame construction required). the light weignt lets me take it up 
or down easily if i need to be where it is.

i found mine at a local sign shop. while there, i looked at translucent 
plastic sheets for a future rear-projection arrangement. just think of the 
typical back-lit neon sign, and you get the idea.

i paid $25.00 for the sheet, and had them deliver it, since it would have 
self-destructed if i tried to take it home in the pickup

i use the 4x8 format with HDTV ratios as opposed to 4:3, so it is a closer fit.
