@jkraft5081 2 года назад

Looks great. I’m going to have to check out the site you used to get measurements. I used the calculations on the Carl’s place site. Triple checked them, built the frame, stretched the screen, hung it and had a 2” border on the left, right and top and about a 6” border on the bottom🤨. I was not happy. But it hasn’t bugged me enough to correct it and I like the frameless screen.

@TyEichele 2 года назад

Thank you! Wow that really sucks that happened to you! I wonder where things went off along the way somehow. I think I looked at that calculator at one point in time and I was thinking it was pretty much the same, but I could be wrong.

@jkraft5081 2 года назад

@@TyEichele After watching your video, I got on that website again. I did use it as well. Maybe you can tell me where I went wrong. I wanted a 122" wide screen which gives me a 68.63 in height I added 4" to the height and 4" to the width to give me 126" x 72.6. I measured it again last night and that is exactly what I have. But my borders are as stated above when I turn on the projector. Since the borders didn't turn out right, I wasn't going to put the felt on until I fixed it. It doesn't hurt anything but my pride. I don't even notice it anymore and especially with wide screen format. The walls are a shade darker than my screen so it blends in well.

@TyEichele 2 года назад

@@jkraft5081 So just to make sure I understand correctly - when you say you wanted a 122" wide screen, do you mean you wanted a 122" diagonal screen? Or literally a 122" wide, which gives you roughly a 140" diagonal screen? Also, I'm assuming this is a 16x9 aspect ratio?

@DavidGarcia-gn3qt 25 дней назад

This is one of the best looking screen builds ive seen on here. What width is your border? It looks perfect compared to some of the really wide ones people use. Im about to build a 110" inch screen this week.

@TyEichele 24 дня назад

Thank you very much - appreciate it! I honestly don't remember the width, I thought I mentioned it in the video maybe. It's not very big, I'm thinking it was 2" wide total and I basically lined it up on the outside edge and flipped whatever remained (1") to the front of the screen which forms the border you see when looking straight on at it. Hopefully that makes sense.

Hi great video , looking thru Carl's place site. what is the exact acoustic material you used and color please, my room is pitch black thx

@TyEichele Год назад

Hello and thanks for watching! I used their FlexiWhite material but it was an acoustically transparent version of it. I don't see it on their website anymore so you might want to call them and ask them if they still carry it? Good luck!

@garyriess3668 2 года назад

Great job! I have followed your video and when I try to flip up the screen the cleat wants to come out. Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@TyEichele 2 года назад

Thanks! I'm not sure exactly why that would be happening...mine worked until I put gas shocks to hold it open, then it wanted to lift off of the cleat. I ended up putting some 3" screws into the top part of the cleat that is connect to the screen to keep it in place. You can see this on my complete walkthrough video - I show the screws I ended up putting in. Good luck!

@theaccent13 2 года назад

Which other video has the screen material in it... Also, did you get Nano Acoustic FlexiWhite or just the FlexiWhite ?

@TyEichele 2 года назад

Some of the other videos I made reference the product. It is the nano acoustic material. My center channel is behind the screen but you can hear it perfectly through the screen. It's pretty crazy!

@jdcook5496 2 года назад

Great work! Might it have been simpler to mount the LEDs on the wall? Just thinking ahead as I’m likely to copy you. I visited Carls website but I don’t see anywhere it says the material is acoustically transparent or an gain ratings.

@TyEichele 2 года назад

I'm not sure about the LEDS on the wall, possibly! But you'd have to mount them sideways somehow to get the best effect.... Here is the detail page for the screen material:. shop.carlofet.com/home-theater/screen-materials/nano-acoustic-flexigray-projector-screen-material Thanks for watching and good luck!

@TyEichele 2 года назад

I just realized that is the Flexigray material and not the Flexiwhite material....sorry about that. Looks like their website has chnaged, maybe they are updating it? I'd give them a call and see if they have it in stock or what's going on with it. Good luck!

@riley19811 7 месяцев назад

Ty, struggling here for some reason... I'm going for a 154" diagonal screen. My width is 134.25" x and height 75.50". I plan to use a 2" border. That said I would add 4" inches to both the height and width measurements. Width 134.25" =138.25" and Height 75.50" = 79.50". When I put my tape to my layout its reading 160" diagonal. If I then subtract the 4" the viewable diagonal would be 156" but it's supposed to be 154". What am I not accounting for? Any guidance would be amazing... I feel like I'm going to feel silly once I figure this out...

@TyEichele 7 месяцев назад

I'm not sure exactly. Do you have to have a 2" border? If not, I would build your screen as you mentioned above, and then just adjust your border width to accommodate the correct viewable screen size you are going for. I'm not sure how you measured to get to 156", but diagonal measurements can be tricky when it comes to the math for them. It doesn't appear that your math is wrong from what I can see. Maybe try some projector screen size calculators you can find online?

@KayJay940 Год назад

How did you do the black border tape. I have my frame made and its near perfect flat and is perfect square. Gained like 2 levels of woodworking. But I am puzzeled on how to do tape dead on straight as someone who cant draw a straight line. I am aiming for 1in border could live with 2. Need ideas please and asap.

@TyEichele Год назад

I simply took my tape and ran it flush with the side edge of the screen, then folded whatever reamining length there was to the front-facing side of the screen. Then adjusted my picture size to the available space on the screen. That's how I did it. That way the entire sides are covered in black. If it is too thick for you, you will have to figure out a way to measure and cut or even fold whatever thickness to the back side of the screen possibly to end up with less on the front side, if that makes sense. Good luck! Take your time, and don't pull the black velvet tight, it doesn't stretch and could end up shrinking back, possibly leaving gaps at your seams.

@KayJay940 Год назад

@@TyEichele thanks for reply and not soundinf ungrateful but I was hoping there was a slicker trick than that as I dont want to rely on my 1×3 to have perfect thickness all around. I means is close but there is some tolerance there. Im hoping to get like laser accurate lines. I am thinking I may try masking tape. Would a good painter tape harm the screen you think?

@TyEichele Год назад

I'm not sure to be honest....could try on some spare material if you have any? Otherwise maybe measure your lines and make some pencil marks to follow, covering up your marks as you go with the black tape? I'm sure there are other videos out there too maybe with some ideas, maybe you've already looked. Good luck!

@KayJay940 Год назад

@@TyEichele yup let you know how I make out. I do know its actually easy to line up two peices of tape. Ie. Lay one down and other on its line. This is done lots in autobody. So thats my plan A if good blue tape can stick and remove np.
