wow 27k that is high and i believe is the SI black diamond that are expensive.

Do you remember what was the price for the black diamond screen?

6k for the acer projector to me the acer is ok for 2d but in 3d is superb.

IIRC the price for SI black diamond was RM 14k. The screen are more expensive than the projector

Bro, my viewing distance only 8 feet . What screen size would recommend .

First see what projector model u wanted to purchased and using their (example: acer website) projector distance calculation for the model u wanted for accurate measurement as i did it on acer website before i purchase the acer projector and it is quite accurate using the calculation method found on the website.

Remarks: i did all my projector installation including screen myself with some help from my father so big saving here without needed other to help me on the installation for a fee.

Really admire your DIY skill .

i did research a lot online before i setting up the projector and i did save lot also learn a lot on projector setting and other stuff during process but hey is quite fun

also i did install dark velvet cloth around my room to absorb the light from projector and man the projector really shine after installing the velvet cloth as advise by anfieldude bro.

U put the dark velvet on all the walls in the room? Or only selected areas?

left and right side of my room only...

How about the front wall? I suppose it is also same or dark colour scheme.

I will be installing a HW50ES with Grandview 120" fixed screen on this weekend along with a high-end HT system.

front wall didnt do it but maybe in future for now the current setting is ok for me.

How much is the HW50ES nowadays?

U can consider doing the front wall as a next step. It's supposed to help as well.

Say, what kind of adhesive did you use to stick the black velvet to your wall?

I think the best/easiest way is use curtain track

i did not use adhesive but using thin steel to hang the black velvet as the room is my sleeping room as well so cant have the room complete black lol..

With 8 feet, you need about 80" to 90" screen to give you field of view of 40-45 degrees...perfect for movies.

Wow 40-45 FOV is very wide. But it's up to individual preference.

To me, 40-45 is just perfect. Less than that...lose the cinematic effect.
