Wall paint for projection TV

May 10, 2007 8 Replies

What color would you use for a projection TV wall? I'm thinking glossy white but not sure if it should really be flat white, eggshell, or some other color altogether.



I would suggest projection screen material. The difference will be very noticeable and the real screen material will win out. What screen material might be best would depend on the output of the projector, the seating in the room and the lighting conditions in the room.

They actually make a paint for projecting on. I don't have links or names, but i know it exists.

Oh wow, thanks the the link.

Everything you could possibly want to know, and more, about DIY screens--The AVS Forums DIY Screen Section:

This forum is a lot easier to read if you scroll to the bottom of the screen and change the screen color to white.

I'll check that out, thank you.

The wall I project onto is yellow. And the whiters are still very white. Try it out on the wall before you go and paint anything.
