Is this blackout cloth?

Here is another view of the white side. The grid or texture looks pretty heavy so I thought this might distort the image or the least the grid would be visible. I know if its too smooth you get hotspots.

Mines really similar to that but quite bright white on both sides...

How much did that cost you?

[dracul]

Its 140cm wide. It cost me $2/meter. I only bought 2 meters for curtains during the day.

So yours has the same texture? You dont see the grid?
I guess considering professional screens come perforated you shouldnt notice anything. So I guess there are different kinds of Blackout cloth. All I saw here in the stores is silver and white but I didnt look that hard yet either.

[Mr.Kh]

Yeah I can see the grid, in your second photo, it has a kinda canvas texture.... Mine's like that too, it just the polyester side is really white on mine, not grey. I bought 2.5 meters and that was about $15CAD. Better than ... liek 1 million for dalite and the picture is pretty good. Nothing like beaded, but good.

[dracul]

I ment can you see the grid while your watching movies on it?
I guess not or you would have mentioned it.

[dracul]

The second photo is underexposed. The screen is white not grey as it appears. The other side is dark silver pretty much like you see in the photo.

[Mr.Kh]

Grid as in Screen door? And yes I can see it.

I'm at about 9-10 ft vertical so its quite noticable as the room is only 14 ft "deep." I plan to run the screen at about 8ft diagonal and at that range the screendoor is far less noticable.

The material doesn't much help for screen door I've noticed.


And yeah, the grey side from the first photo is the kinda plastic side right? And the white is the more canvas cotton side - that's what I was trying to say before.


Have you tried ironing it at all? I'm kinda worried(like CAD15$ is really disturbing me....).... but mine's got quite a few wrinkles.... fell down once, and the fabric store folded it all up. I don't want it to melt or anything.

looks like vinyl to me. blackout cloth has a cotton-like feel to it.
yours looks shinny in the pics.

[dracul]

So in addition to the screen door from the lcd you dont see the grid of the screen material itself?

Yeah, its pretty plastiky on boths sides. Here they are calling it blackout and not Blackout Cloth. Yeah its definetely not cloth like feel so I got the wrong stuff. Its not shiny at all on the white side must be the photo. The white side has a heavy grid but maybe too much... I ll try it I guess and see.
If I stretch it on a frame it would probably get rid of the creases.
