came across this while reading my pop sci today looks pricy but might be worth it.

vogels.com

They claim that if I turn off my projector and remove the border, I will not see the screen paint, but just a normal white wall. That's all fine and good, but look at the picture they show you. There is clearly black in that projected image. How do they explain that the wall is white on either side of the screen, the room is well lit, and yet somehow, (magically?) that white wall is able to have a black image on it. It's like they are saying that if you turn off the projector in that image, that rectangle will be black, but take down the border, and it turns white!

Here's the BS picture from their site:

I selected a dark color from the projected image in that picture, and decided to see what it would look like if the projector were only projecting that color (like a solid color test image, or the credits of a movie):

So they are telling me that a wall that otherwise appears as white as the other walls in my house, in a very well lit room, will look like this if I project a totally black image?

Please.

They only listed one that was supposed to be "invisible" which would lead you to believe it's a top coat of some sort that adds reflectiveness to your exsisting whiteish wall. the black border in the pic is magnetic and therefore removable when you are not using the wall for projection (like who's gonna not use their projector for a ;engthy period of time!)

They listed a store in my area, calling to see how much they sell it for or if they even have it lol

You're better off going with one of these.

arent they sitting a bit close?

Marketing morons?

Edit: And that's an interesting throw on that projector now that ya mention it.

Hey, some people LIKE to sit in the front row at the movie theatre. I just can't imagine why.

anyone else notice the black screen shot chops off the tops of their heads?

votey made that picture up trying to see what it might look like projecting black

What's funny is that people actually fall for that kinda marketing...

Came across this video and found some good reviews so mabey its not all hoit air.. gotto agree tho that theres some crappy marketing
