Dulux paint vs Proper projector screen paint?

[nightrider1470]

I have 2 x projector screen in my home, which are both just 2 large pieces of MDF that have been painted and give a nice clean image.

Am just wondering if there is much difference from the standard dulux paint to say Goo projector screen paint, which is very expensive?

Can anyone advise?

Depends on the viewing environment. A typical living room is rubbish (white ceiling, light walls) for white screens because light ends up reflecting back onto the screen and washing things out, so specialist paints made for obtaining better output in less than ideal conditions should be a serious consideration.

TBH I would ask the question on AVForums in the projector section and you will no doubt receive a very detailed answer from dozens of people that have tried everything under the sun, if there isn't several posts about it already.

This, sums up AVfourms.

My 2p worth: I've seen paint for projectors at a clients cinema room and think its snake oil, look no different to brilliant white paint.
