Screens and Ghosting

[P3D David W. Kesner <drdave@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am having some ghosting problems and wonder if anyone can help. I
did a search of the archives and came up with thousands of hits, so I
was hoping a direct question would be easier than sifting through.

I have been using a new Da-Lite 50x50 Silver Pacer and TDC 116 with
5" lenses. It has been working just fine. While I was at the NSA
Convention I picked up a Da-Lite 50x50 Wonder Lite. After mounting
some of the 600 new slides I have waiting (see my next post), I
couldn't wait to see them projected. This particular batch was of hot
air balloons and the Mickey Mouse balloon in particular (my wife
always crews for Disney when they come to the Boise River Festival).
Now a black Mickey balloon against a blue-white sky is just asking
for ghosting, but what I found was that the Wonder Lite was really
bad while the Silver Pacer was quite tolerable. I did notice that the
lenticular lines on the Wonder Lite are very noticeable while the
Silver Pacer's are barely visible.

My questions are: Is this typical of the Wonder Lite screen? Is it
because of the wider lines? Is there a difference in the Silver Pacer
and the Silver King? Lastly, does anyone want to buy a Wonder Lite
screen? *{;-)

Thanks for the time,
