Black Projector Screen Paint Reviews

Joy Gallaher

Smarter Surfaces Black Projector Screen Paint creates deep black levels, enhancing image contrast for an immersive viewing experience. Perfect for low ambient light settings, it works really well in our cinema room at home.

Dinesh Kanal

I'm truly impressed with the ultra-matte finish and best image quality. A high-lumen or laser projector is a must-have for the best experience. At home, I use a Samsung 130” 4K Smart Triple Laser Projector. It maximized the value of the painted screen beautifully.

Gaël Masad

This black projector paint is specifically crafted for environments with low ambient light. It pairs perfectly with a high-performance projector. After setting up, it is providing excellent black levels and an impressive contrast ratio.

FAQ's

Black Projection Screen Paint works by creating a painted on projection screen with the lowest gain value, meaning it absorbs a lot of light rather than reflecting it. Provided the projector has adequate power of over 2500 lumens or higher and the room has very low ambient light it will enhance the black tones and significantly improve the contrast ratio resulting in a highly vivid image with colors that pop for best results use high definition and HDR content.

After application to your wall using a roller or spray, our Black Projector Screen Paint will be ready for projection once it is completely dry, which takes 24 hours. Just set up your projector as needed and direct it towards the painted wall. Black Projector Screen Paint is compatible with most projectors that have a brightness of over 2500 lumens. It can be applied to plaster, wall boards, wood, metal, or any smooth surface.

Gain pertains to the screen’s capability to reflect and enhance the brightness of the projected image. It measures how effectively the screen directs light back to the viewer's eyes. The gain value indicates the screen's reflective strength in comparison to a standard reference surface, typically a matte white screen with a gain value of 1.0.

The gain value reflects the quantity of reflective lumens that the screen can deliver. A greater gain value implies that more light is reflected, resulting in a brighter image over the screen. In contrast, a lower gain value indicates that less light is returned, leading to a dimmer image.

The gain of a screen also impacts the width of the viewing angle. A screen with a higher gain will have a narrower viewing angle, meaning viewers need to sit more directly in front of it to experience the brightest image. In contrast, a screen with a lower gain will provide a wider viewing angle, allowing viewers to see a brighter picture even when not perfectly aligned with the screen.

It's important to note that the choice of gain is determined by the specific viewing situation and the desired experience. Factors such as ambient lighting, projector brightness, screen size, and the arrangement of audience seating all play a role in identifying the most appropriate gain for a given circumstance.

Gain influences the brightness of the projected image and the overall quality of viewing angles. It determines the efficiency with which the screen reflects light and affects the clarity and breadth of the viewing angle.
Not necessarily; a projector screen with a higher gain does not always ensure superior image quality. While it may enhance brightness from certain viewpoints, it could lead to reduced brightness from others. Typically, screens with higher gain have a narrower viewing angle.
The standard gain of a projector screen is 1.0, which assures equal brightness from all sides and visibility from various angles. However, the perfect gain depends on the viewer's preferences and the scenarios. Consider your projector's specifications as well as the benefits and drawbacks of high and low gain screens to find the best fit for your needs.
High-gain screens provide clear and visible images in bright situations, improve vision in low light conditions, reflect minimal light from walls and ceilings, and effectively eliminate light from fabric screens resistive to general lighting.
High-gain screens have a narrow viewing angle for viewers who are not in the center, require users to sit opposite the screen for maximum brightness, may not be bright enough for more viewers due to limited viewing angles, and are not suitable for outdoor viewing.
Low-gain screens have a wider viewing angle for more viewers, distribute light evenly across a wider angle for an even viewing experience, and minimize projector brightness in indoor environments. Black Projector Screen Paint has a very low gain value.
Low-gain screens are not suited for outdoor viewing since they are less bright, reject some light from the projector, and may not give enough contrast to see all images properly.
Blending projections is a common technique for producing immersive and dynamic visual experiences in a variety of environments, including art installations, theaters, and large-scale presentations. The choice of projection screen is vital for creating seamless and unified presentations. Our projection screen paint is great for merging many projections on a single surface. Our projector paint's effective formulation has been tailored to make mixing easier and produce superior results.

To ensure a smooth transition between projected images, projection blending requires accurate color quality, equal brightness, and great light dispersion. Our projection screen paint incorporates all of these features, allowing you to create a unified and immersive display.

When it comes to large-scale screens, our projection screen paint removes the need for bulky and expensive physical screens, giving you a more versatile and cost-effective way to blend projections. Transform any area into an immersive canvas in which many projections blend seamlessly, intriguing your audience.

The Sound Absorption Coefficient (SAC) is a measurement of a material's ability to absorb sound energy when sound waves go through it. In our tests, the SAC is measured for a 12mm gypsum board, a standard building material.

The SAC might change depending on the frequency of the sound waves moving through the material. Different frequency ranges of sound waves have varying wavelengths, and these wavelengths interact with the material in various ways. As a result, the SAC values presented are a range, as the SAC varies with the frequency of the sound waves being absorbed. In our tests, we recorded these results:

Unpainted Board α = 0.04-0.07
Painted Board α = 0.04-0.07

The stated values are for an unpainted 12mm gypsum board and a painted 12mm gypsum board. The α values vary from 0.04 to 0.07 for both forms, indicating the SAC range of these materials. It demonstrates that when sound waves pass through a 12mm gypsum board, the material absorbs some of the sound energy, with absorption levels ranging from 0.04-0.07 depending on the frequency of the sound wave. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that our paints are acoustically transparent, with no noticeable difference in SAC values between unpainted and painted boards.
Our entire collection of paints is compatible with 3D and 2D projectors, assuring maximum performance regardless of projection mode. When a 3D image is projected onto our paint, it smoothly achieves the desired effect, resulting in a complete viewing experience when coupled with 3D glasses.
Three-dimensional projectors function by displaying two slightly different images that overlap on the screen. These images are filtered through specific optical filters, causing the light to polarise differently for each projection. When you look at the two images using special 3D glasses, each lens blocks one of them, so your left eye sees one and your right eye sees another image. If you're utilizing a 3D projector, make sure that the projection screen you use does not affect the polarity of the light. All of our paint products are "polarity preserving," which implies that the image you see will have the same polarity as intended, maintaining its complete 3D effect.
You may apply any Projector Paint using a roller or spray.All surfaces to be painted should be well cleaned and defect free, fill any holes or cracks with decorators filler, and once dry sand the surface smooth. Apply one layer of White Primer to bare, untreated surfaces.Before applying the Black Projector Screen Paint, stir it thoroughly. To achieve the greatest results, apply paint with a mohair or lint-free short pile roller sleeve.
