    I am building a DIY projector screen

    Would the material below be good as a projector screen?

    When I zoom on the image of it, the threads of the lining appear very visible.

    I've seen one person here on boards writing about blackout lining they used they got from Home Focus and said it was excellent.

    Did you go with this? Just wondering how you got on?

    I used this material for my projector screen. It works great, the thread of the lining that it shows in the picture is not visible at all, and doesn't affect the picture. I made a 105" screen as the material is only 137cm and needed some overhang to wrap and staple the material to the frame. I can post up some photos if you're interested in seeing what it looks like.

    Would love if you could post up a few. I am going to (attempt) to build one this evening.

    Here's a couple taken with the room darkened.
    Picture quality may not be great. I'll try and post a few more when I get home which just show the screen itself
