Thanks for posting this review. When I first heard about this screen I was really excited. But as our friend above stated, this is a real let down to hear about the limited viewing axis. Much the same as most high contrast glass beaded gray screens. If your not literally right at dead center not only left to right but also up and down the image quality goes down the toilet. I had a greywolf2 1.8 gain glass beaded screen that did the same thing with the limited perfect viewing perameters and it drove me crazy. I took it down within 2 days, painted it flat medium gray and then gave it to a friend that needed a screen and went back to my old flat gray-non reflective screen which frankely has a huge viewing axis and gave the same results as far as increase in contrast and blacks as the gray wolf did without the limited viewing axis issues. This new Planar screen is shamefully over priced considering it's limitations. frankely I felt it was over priced when I thought perhaps it had no limitations that have been described in the this review. let's face it- it's a screen, yet it costs more than some plasma TV's and projectors even for the smallest size. If it were $50 I wouldn't want one. However I think it might work well for those that have a long slender viewing room where the seats are further back from the screen and more centered in rows. Then the screen would be a good investment. But let's face it, this screen should be considered only by people who have a big budget, superior high end projector, and they understand just how annoying the limitations described in the review can be.
