    Black or gray screen material?

    Just looking around for options for better picture quality in ambient light and was wondering why nobody offers impact screen material in those options? I'm guessing everyone would buy one to help with picture quality with the lights on. I can't stand golfing in the dark with a tiny light shining...

    someone smarter than me get on this please

    Maybe in an alternate universe.... Black and grey don't reflect very well....

    I have black archery netting backing my screen. Prior to getting my screen I hit into the netting and do remember the ball getting pretty black.

      There are some woven ALR screens, but not any known heavy impact screens. Great feature request that all sim golfers would benefit. Having an 8000 lumen projector only goes so far when you want to open up some doors.

      ALR (ambient light rejecting) screens are often grey and have a surface with directional reflectivity. E.g. A screen will reject light from the sides or directly above, but will reflect light from a particular angle back to the viewer.

      Read this interesting article for more info.

        Holy moly you have an 8000 lumen projector! Can we see some shots of the sim on with lights.. i have a older Optima gt1080 and i basically need pitch black to have a good picture... I've never played golf outdoors in the dark so I'm hoping to find a better projector/screen to help with the problem

      ​​​​​​​Three overhead lights near the hitting area. "Philip's Hue Play" above and below the two monitors and shelf.

      I will post good images and a write-up when the fiberbuilt mats are delivered.
