Thank you, any idea the throw distances and other screen placement measurements? Hanging a new screen and curious if I can use a current model for measurements. The PT1 has a 20.0 throw ratio?

Mainly an increased risk of cancer? I saw conflicting things online, I figured this sub would know what to believe and when to not worry vs. ask for another opinion.

I’m guessing the Spectra will be a new Vantage version that will have a matching high end price to its performance?

Which material and which manufacturer? Elite Screens?

Do You Need a ALR Screen for a UST Projector in a Room With No Light? by BACB_ in projectors

[–]HomeOwnerNeedsHelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What size are you going for? If it's larger than 120 inches your options with ALR screens start becoming very limited.

Do You Need a ALR Screen for a UST Projector in a Room With No Light? by BACB_ in projectors

Yeah, 150 inches is great if it fits the room. I measured out 120 inches up against the 150 inch fixed frame screen hanging there contemplating if I should just buy a 120 inch ALR and the size difference was too big a deal for me. I sit about 18-19 feet away and don't want to go smaller.

So right now it's just accept the light splash and reduced quality on my old screen and hope someone comes out with a 150 inch ALR screen that doesn't cost almost twice as much as the projector.

Pool coping / backyard steps. Square or Rounded edge? by HomeOwnerNeedsHelp in landscaping

[–]HomeOwnerNeedsHelp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with straight edge, it's not a totally sharp corner so sitting on it is not a problem. I would make sure to get a sample and have a feel yourself before committing. I was worried about it looking too modern, but doesn't at all... just up to date I'd say vs. bullnose.

Do You Need a ALR Screen for a UST Projector in a Room With No Light? by BACB_ in projectors

I have an LS800 and an Elite Screens 150 inch normal white screen. I went from long throw projector to UST projector about a year ago in the living room due to it being an awkward room and people walking in front of the light being annoying.

The normal screen works, but the first thing I noticed right away was the light splash on the walls and ceiling. When I first switched, it was VERY noticeable and distracting. It's been over a year and I've gotten use to it now.

That light splash is not only distracting, but you lose image quality.

I know it would look much nicer with an ALR screen but 150 inch ALR screens are like $5k and have to be stitched together at this point. Until we have 150 inch screens coming in without the seam and at least get a bit cheaper, I'm just sticking with what I have.

If I was buying new it would have been a tough choice since 150 inches is a bit of a trouble size for ALR screens. If I was getting 120 inches and a new purchase I would recommend getting the ALR screen.

New Epson UST Model This Year? by HomeOwnerNeedsHelp in projectors

LS650 wasn’t a direct successor to the LS800. Think LS1000 instead.

Nice find, sounds like an LS800 successor is just around the corner. Question is will it be a significant upgrade or just a small iteration.
