Hello, This is my first post here. Very nice place! Lots of good information found easily without using a search function.
I found this place on google that pointed me to a thread that no other site had come close to. Thumbs Up

Has anyone tried this screen with a CRT? Or maybe you remember a post where someone tested it out?
With 10 times higher contrast and twice the brightness it would have a use for home users as well.

And the website with video: http://www.supernovascreen.com/flash/Microsite/index.htm

Maybe it would it reject some light from CRTFP? But it would be fun to give it a go.
Since CRT is no longer a mainstream corporate concern, maybe they did not test it out...
I would be interested to know anyway.

Welcome.

DO a search for hotspotting and taurus screens. Flat highgain screens hot spot with CRT's. That is you will see a reflection of the reg,green and blue tubes in the middle of the screen.

Neat idea though.

Darin and I saw this screen at Infocomm last year. We both found it unimpressive. Darin likes and uses the High Power screen. It is kind of hard to use this with a CRT, though. If you want high gain, then you have to build a Torus.

Thanks for the insight guys.
The outside demonstration video looked a bit washed, but it wasn't a CRT projecting onto it.
I've never seen a Torus before. (apart from one of those old silver all in one Sony units.
I wasn't that impressed by it, but it was very old and small.
Maybe one day I will make one and try it out for myself. I've seen plans for them on the net.
Cheers!
