In the last 10 years I have seen film screens manufactures grown
quite a bit due to the huge increase in projector sales worldwide.
Today there are well over sixty screen manufactures that I can
think of but less than a hand full of manufactures that delivers
true reference film screens.
Let's
talk about that last statement for a minute. A true reference film
screen provides a picture with superior sharpness, contrast,
brightness and displays colors with life and accuracy. The most
important factor that reference film screen provides is the
experience of being there, that ultimate realism that transports
you to the scene putting in the middle of the concert or movie.
You
see that fidelity of the picture samples projected on the DNP
Supernova Reference Film screen above, well they look lifeless in
comparison with other screens, that fidelity you see is simply out
the door. The
bottom line is that DNP Supernova screens makes any projector look
30% to 50% better than most other film screen available on the
market and I have seen them all. Take
it from experience my videophile friends, a film screen is about
the only thing in your theater that you probably will never
replace ever again, it's quite a job to set it up, it requires
minimum of three people to set it up properly, it's extremely
delicate and expensive to ship because of the size.
Projectors
and components will most likely come and go though the years but
your screen will most likely will stay with you for as long as you
own your theater. Do
you self a big favor and don't take your screen for granted, keep
in mind that your picture quality can only be as good as the
screen that reflects the picture. Do it right the first time, get
the best from the start and avoid the regrets that you didn't get
right from the start.
