High Contrast Grey Projector Screen Paint Reviews
Richard Mcgrath
Very good resolution for gaming. The grey really created higher contrast levels but I think a powerful projector and low light are important. It was easy enough to apply, and perfect for our home theater wall.Energy Apps - Blue Mountain
Never would have thought of painting a projector screen, but bought the high contrast paint to use in the office where we have our gaming setup. Didn’t want to load in a big screen on top of everything else in there. Absolutely love the new screen with our laser projector. Really great picture with such good visual depth and contrast once you dim or turn off the lights.Tech7 AV PTY
Really ups the contrast levels on movies compared to our old white screen. The grey creates a richer image quality for a more immersive viewing experience. You definitely need to pair it with a projector that has higher lumens to get the most out of the new screen.Explore More Products From Smarter Surfaces

FAQ's
For this effect to work correctly, the projection surface must maintain the original polarity of the projected light. If the screen alters the light’s polarity, the 3D effect can be weakened or completely lost. Smarter Surfaces polarity-preserving paint ensures that the projected images retain their original polarisation, allowing for a true-to-life, immersive 3D viewing experience exactly as intended by the projector.
With its advanced formulation, our paint allows multiple projections to merge effortlessly on a single surface, thus eliminating visible seams or inconsistencies. This results in a smooth and cohesive display, making it ideal for large-scale projection mapping and multi-projector setups.
Additionally, grey screen paint eliminates the need for bulky and expensive physical screens, offering a cost-effective and versatile solution. Whether you’re setting up a massive projection wall or an artistic visual installation, our paint ensures a flawless, immersive viewing experience where multiple projections blend harmoniously.
When used with a 2D projector, the paint helps enhance contrast and brightness, delivering sharp and vivid visuals. When paired with a 3D projector, it maintains the necessary light properties to preserve the depth and realism of 3D content. This ensures that when viewed with 3D glasses, the projected image retains its full immersive effect without distortion or loss of detail.
So whether you are giving presentations, watching films or creating a cinematic experience, our high-contrast projector screen paint provides a versatile and high-quality solution for both 2D and 3D viewing.
