    Cool Curved screen 1 projector setup

    Installed my new projector, a Benq MP782ST. I made a curved screen from a 3 mm thick plastic carpet attached to the cieling. Works fine. Zoom factor is set to 0.40 (FS2004). The front view almost covers both front windows. Warp software from Fly EliseNG.

    Regards / Per Alm

    Looks fantastic, Per! How did you attach the carpet to the ceiling? Do you have a pic of that?

    Thanx
    I use a curved plastic tube as rail and the carpet is attached to the tube via wires. A very simple setup!!

    Re: Curved screen 1 projector setup

    I bought a 3 mm thick plastic carpet, cut to 1.5 x 4.5 meters. The backside is white and fits perfect as a smooth curved screen. Easy to build, not too expensive. If I make another screen i would probably build a curved wooden bar as rail.

    Re: Curved screen 1 projector setup

    Hm, I'm interested in setting up a dual projector 180 degree setup, but perhaps I'll start with one projector first. What FOV are you getting?
