She didn't hit me yet.she's in deep thought. Probably still couldn't sell this to the wife. I was trying to tell from your video if the picture quality (blacks and shadow detail, mainly) improved as the curtains were closing, but I couldn't tell. Other than cutting the room reflections do the curtains actually improve the picture quality to a noticeable degree.Ĭhris, cool idea with the motorized curtains. You can click the links below my name to see how I employed curtains. If you don't want to have dark walls using curtains is a sort of 'win-win' situation it allows you to paint the walls the color you want since the curtains can stay retracted from the wall, but when you do employ the curtains when watching your movie they will cut light much better than any dark painted wall. Does a great job of cutting side wall reflections.
When watching a movie I simply pull them out along the side walls. When not in use they cover only a tiny bit of the wall to the sides of the screen adding a nice decorative touch.
I use dark chocolate brown velvet curtains to each side of my screen.
