I did alot of research and talked to alot of people before I bought a screen. Bill Blue was the one person who convinced me to go with the Hurley. Like he said, Hurley has been making great screens long before Stewart was even a sparkle in his fathers eye. They have screens in some of the most presitjous theaters in the world not to mention Disney, Have a look at their short list of who uses Hurley screens.
Bill said I wouldn't be dissappointed and I'm not. I contacted a few outfits that handled both Hurley and Stewart and asked for their opinions on comparing the Superglo with the 130 and they didn't say much except to say the Stewart was alot more expensive. This just tells me that there was probably more to that story than what they were letting on.
I could have gotten the same size screen in a 130 from a local supplier for about $500cdn(which was a steal of a deal because they didn't mark it 500% before they sell to the client) compared to about $220cdn for the Superglo. Everyone says how great the 130 is and I have no reason to not believe them but I can say I see zero wrong with this Hurley screen. I've never had to clean it yet and I've had it for about 2.5 years now, it just doesn't seem to collect dust. |
was the price you mentioned custom sized WITH gromets attached? did you make your own frame?
i had a gazzilion emails with the guy you bought yours from. great communication. at the time i was looking for material for a torus and at that point no one had tried one of their products on a torus so i wimped out and got vutec pearlbright.
i wonder if their silverglow would work on a torus....might be interesting
