Didn't expect this much screen for the money lol

Just finished setting up this 100" screen and honestly, I'm pretty impressed with it.

Assembly was probably the worst part lol. Took two of us about an hour to get everything lined up, stretched properly, and sitting flat. Once it was done though, the whole thing feels really solid. The frame is clean and minimalist too, which I like.

The picture is where it really surprised me. Colors look bright and vibrant, and it does a pretty good job with the light in the room. I can actually use it during the day without having to completely darken the room.

Overall, really happy with how it turned out. For what I paid, I honestly wasn't expecting it to look this good.

Tried the AR preview for my UST cabinet setup

Was looking at UST cabinets and noticed NothingProjector has an AR preview on the listing now. You point your phone at the spot where the cabinet'd go and it drops a preview of the actual thing into your room, handy for checking if the 120" fits before dropping $4k lol. Tried it in my living room (iPhone, had to do it twice, first pass it lost tracking), scale was pretty close to my tape measure. Bit gimmicky ngl but lowkey wish more furniture sites did this. Actually ended up measuring twice anyway after.

Why does everyone blame the screen for laser speckle?

I've been trying to figure out laser speckle lately and I keep seeing people say "just get a different screen."

My understanding is that the laser source itself is what creates the speckle in the first place, but the screen material can make it much more or less noticeable depending on the surface and gain.

What I don't really understand is why so many discussions end up saying "get a different screen" rather than looking at the projector itself.

Is the screen actually doing most of the damage here, or is it just making an existing projector issue easier to see?

And if two people use the same RGB laser projector but get completely different levels of speckle with different screens, does that basically mean the screen is the bigger factor in what we actually see?
