Has anyone been able to source the wilsonart in the Toronto area for a reasonable price? I want to try it out and compare to the screens i'm using now.

I can tell you NOT to goto Rona. They are stupid expensive.

call Janovski Counters (905 475-0185) they are in Markham and did sell it back in Jan 2008

I ordered a sample of the wilsonart designer white and can tell you it's identical to the melamine board I bought at home depot for $35, and it's already mounted on 3/4" wood. Smile

here's a thread on avs about melamine;

I had a 60" pull down. Then I played with a Studiotek 130 but I gave that to my G/F. I don't even have a projector up and running right now. Laughing

Too busy with cars to play inside with projectors.

One of these days I'll get two sheets of Wilsonart one 5x13' and one 2.5x12'.

I need to set up the 10 foot wide 4:3 screen again. That was fun. I had a couple of sheets on industrial paper super shiny ( maybe a 4-5 gain ) and the PC setup with gamma. It was a blast gaming.

I really liked the studiotek. Even when it's hung against a white wall it reflects back more light than the wall.

I did turn the Ampro on last night and ran it for almost half an hour. Mr. Green

Not sure if you caught my edit above.

For a cheap screen grab a wilsonart roll.

Studiotek 130 is much more expensive than Wilsonart for sure.
