Info on Screen Brands (Liberty and Braun)

[John]

Hi folks,

Have any one of you used Liberty brand screens? Or Braun-Phototechnik?

I have recently got a Braun-Phototechnik 6' x 4' (85" diagonal) screen. It is made in Germany. My projector is yet to arrive. The screen looks very good, but I am no expert.

The other option for me is to for for a 100" Liberty screen (7' x 5'). While my current room is small, maximum seating distance 10' (some people will be seated closer when there are more people watching a movie), I feel the 6' x 4' may be appropriate, but will I be able to fix a larger (100" diagonal) screen and enjoy it? Or will it result in too much fatigue?

Also, any opinions on these brands? The screens I am going for are the drop down Instalock ones.

Hi John,
How much are you paying for these?
There is another brand grandview being offered to me at 7k for 7'x5'. Any comments/ recommendations for that?

regards

Hi anm,

I am being offered the Braun 6' x 4' for 5200/-. This screen is already here and I have the option of returning it.

The Liberty 7 ' x 5' for also same price point.

No idea regarding Grandview..,but a little reading over the Internet seems quite positive.

What is your viewing distance, both max. and min.?

Viewing dist = 10-12 ft
projector - ceiling mount 15ft behind front wall.
Screen size I think most suitable - 5x7. Though the vendor was suggesting 6x8 - but I don't want to end up with a huge washed out image. I should be able to watch something during day time as well with curtains drawn. Big is not always better
