Re: silver screens



>Da-Lite told me on the phone that all of their silver lenticular screens are
now 42 lines/inch.  Should I believe them?

Yes. Their 1996 catalog lists Super Wonderlite as their only silver 
lenticular fabric. It's hard to imagine they'd keep 2 versions in production.

But be prepared. I've received some private correspondence that indicates 
Da-Lite is having design/production problems with Picture-King. I 
returned my screen because of a defect in the attachment of the fabric to 
the horizontal slat. The screen also had circular rivet marks and 
horizontal lines impressed on its surface. This *may* disappear with long 
term tensioning. I'm also not very impressed with the tensioning system. 
Are there any experienced users of Picture King who could provide further 
input?
