You'll have adjust your CM to suit your setup. I run 1080i/p, depending on the source.

Greg sounds like all your seating is well within the 20 degree cone required by the screen. At 12 feet wide you need all the gain you cvan get too

This thread gets better and better. Thanks for clearing up the cone issue for me I am glad to see so many with the Hipower. I figured I would be at 2.0 with my seating and projector height and a riser has crossed my mind. All I need to do is lower my shelf behind me and I will be set. I screwed up and mounted about a foot to hi. I pulled a 60" out where the projector is and threw in a barco 8years ago and have been happy ever since.
Erik did you call da-lite I thought i read that hipower was easy to clean

Meh, to each his own I guess, I prefer a little isolation for the theater, how else could you possibly really enjoy your movies in the early hours of the morning...

Told ya so If you can, avoid rolling it up and down and just leave it down. This will prevent any additional waves from forming in the fabric.

Will do! My daughter last night said this is the first screen that I have owned that made a huge difference. I was watching King Kong in HD and it was like watching it for the first time. Those frickin dinosaurs were popping right out of the
screen! Yahooooooooooooooo The shadow detail and focus are an added bonus over my DIY screen as well.

yeah that was pretty much reaction first time I sat down in front of an HP screen, it's pretty impressive material. My only gripe is if you buy it from Dalite in a fixed frame of decent size it will cost you a Kidney. Luckilly the roll-ups are affordable.
EDIT: Dalite fixed frames are much cheaper than the Drapers, who knew

Can you remove material from a roll-up screen and apply it to a frame? My Draper pulldown screen has gentle "waves" that I cannot get rid of. It has not been rolled up in years, yet the waves persist. Even a shallow wave can be seen as a color shift if it is on the wrong part of the screen. This is not a tab-tensioned screen, but I thought it would eventually flatten. I have tried removing the bottom weight rod, addding weights, and even steaming the damn waves. I never want another pull-down screen! I'm about ready to experiment with fixing this POS to a frame if there is no big reason not to.

Yep, I took those with a 4MP digital and posted them from a 486DX2 50Mhz laptop with Win95 and 20megs of ram.

robert:
we did this with a dalite 1.5 gain - took it to a picture framers who made a frame, and attached the screen to it. 1 year later, the waves returned, so we bought a (yet to be delivered) vutec silverstar fixed screen...
so yes, it can be done, but it won't last. the roll down screens are just a headache unless they are tab-tensioned, and for that sort of money, i'd try for a stewart fixed screen. don't know what they sell for there, but have a friend trying to sell one here for $

Thanks for the information. I will not bother trying to improve this screen, but look into a new fixed screen. Is the Da lite HP available in a fixed screen?
