rodeojack OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 1218 Thank you received: 3 Karma: 0	The description says the picture is for illustration only, and that the actual screen has not been removed from its original shipping tube.

Mudbrother OFFLINE Senior Boarder Posts: 71 Karma: 0	That's what I get for not reading. That's interesting Gordon, I knew screens yellowed over time, but I didn't realize the projector light actually accelerated that process (or caused it outright.) Learn something everyday.

Airborne and atmospheric pollutants can adversely affect a screen, as can excessive dampness. In days past, a screen used where the audience was allowed to smoke would yellow very quickly. Likewise, any use of blowers to clean an auditorium will really stir up dirt that clings to the screen and fills the sound perforations.
