A couple comments. The price of the screen reviewed is not the price of the screen quoted in the article. The article refers to the 100 inch 1.4 gain model ($2699) while the model reviewed is the .08 gain model. The 0.8 gain is less expensive.

I've been unable to replicate the blue push or the light uniformity issue. To be fair I've only had the 1.4 gain model in my hands. I'm guessing the blue push is from the projector used.

My experiences are that there is currently no projector on the market from the major players that can create better contrast in any lighting condition or color saturation. Reflective light from a screen creates about .5 ambient foot candles in ambient light in a controlled lighting environment. That .5 ambient foot candle of light can and does interfere with picture quality. The Black Diamond series doesn't create reflective light from the screen.

Also getting a curved screen helps dramatically with the viewing angle. It also fools the brain into thinking the image is more three dimensional than normal screens. This is an expensive option though.

The differences in the 1.4 and 0.8 gain screens are remarkable. Projector Central should do us all a favor and review a 1.4 screen.
