This is the problem. Once you've had a huge screen, you'll never want to watch a action packed movie on a tv ever again

I can understand, however…
Try this…

Looks good, although i wouldn't want to keep doing that for every film, and i would be concerned about it putting extra creases in the screen.
Might sound a daft question, but i wonder if putting a cutout template over the lens would do the same effect in cropping the grey bars leaving just the picture
The problem isn't really the light coming out the projector - in a DLP system there isn't any (this is an oversimplification but you get the idea). The problem is that screens have gain and this is gain for any light hitting the screen, not just light coming directly from the projector. So light from the projector can hit the screen, bounce back, hit a white wall and come back and light up areas of the screen that shouldn't be black. Mattes / masking puts light absorbing material directly on the bits of screen that shouldn't have an image on, so it pops out more as the perceived contrast is improved.
Are you having to notch the breeze blocks at all for those clips to fit into, or do they back out far enough?
I had one dollop of dab to contend with that's it.
Loving them
Did get a fright when I belled out each cable...The last one I tested bleeped!
Been busy, Installed the centre speaker and made me a lack AV rack...Ran Audyssey on the Onkyo with the mic and I'm happy with the results. All I need to do is install the rear in wall speakers...using my Denons at the moment (pay day) and bury the woofer cable behind the skirting board. The one I have is a tad long so I'm buying a shorter one.

What sub are you using? Hope its a beefy one as that room seems pretty big.

Now I understand why the speakers are at those position !!! I was thinking they were a bit too high for the TV.

Yeah I think I made the correct decision
They are nicely placed for music too.
Tbh when I'm watching TV its mainly chat so sound is coming from the centre speaker.
I use Theater Dimensional listening mode when Broadcasts are not in Dolby 5.1...Any films though I'll watch on the Screen.
