The marketing picture doesn't make much sense. Stretching it to 150 inch and still a bunch of sunlight through the windows. Not going to happen.

Looks a lot like CES Fluff with that much sunlight in the picture. If it were that good, they wouldnt have to photoshop the TV image into it.

AFAIK nobody has figured out how to project darkness, so the darkest parts of the image should be the same brightness as the wall.

Actually there’s fancy projector screens that have microscopic angles on them so light coming from direct or above won’t hit it, for short throw protectors that sit right under the screen

That's a neat idea, but ambient light hits from all directions--these sceens would still look grey-ish, not black like tv screens right?

It wont be as good as a normal tv but if you want a large screen you can make a really good set up now for much less money than a huge oled tv

I can see mine just fine with the windows open, on a bright summer day in the Desert.

Of course it will work in the sunlight. Projectors can make all different colours. What do you think Black lights are for? /s

I use black lights in my room to cut down on the sunlight. Usually just a single 1000W black light is good enough for a typical summer day’s direct sun. Though there are sometimes a few light patches where the black light doesn’t quite reach.

I got a Spinal Tap “None More Black” model, and the solar farm twenty miles away pays me four hundred thirty-seven dollars a week to not turn the black light on during daylight hours. Yes, it goes to 11.
