SI’s Black Diamond Screens – This changes everything
Bob Gatton’s Tech Talk WWW.HGTVPRO.COM
Traditional home theaters can be a lot of fun. Turn on the system, turn off the lights and start the movie.
Being in a dark room, in my opinion, is part of the movie experience. But I don’t like watching sports and other programming in a bat cave.
Now you don’t have to. SI recently launched their Black Diamond screens. With these screens you can use a front projector and still have some lights on. With a normal screen, if you turn up the lights, the picture is washed out and unwatchable.
SI’s Black Diamond screens, combined with projectors that are both rapidly improving and decreasing in price, is a game changer. You can have a huge, high quality picture in a cave… or in a room with lights, as shown below.
This was, in my opinion, the most impressive product at the CEDIA Expo last week. I’m planning to get my hands on an SI Black Diamond screen and give it a test drive. After I do, I’ll report back with more details.
