Carl's vs Par2par Impact Screen

[Wizard of Coz]

First one is carls preferred 2nd is carls premium

If you look at the preferred on the edges it's a little dark. That's how the screen would look but I put a white tarp behind it to stop the bleed through. So both preferred and premium looked good but premium was backed up by a tarp. The tarp didn't reach to the edges.

Mistake preferred backed up by tarp not premium.

I was going to go with a premium but they were out of stock and were not expecting it back in for a while, so I ordered a preferred instead. Based on those pictures, looks like I'll be happy with the preferred.

Cuz I wanted Par2Pro to install it I ended up going with their SQ. I had samples of that and Carl's premium ahead of time. They were of course small samples so it's hard to really know fully head-to-head but I will say par2pro has a yellow cast to it that the Carl's premium did not. I didn't understand why they didn't make it more white. Sometimes I wonder about it but otherwise it's been a terrific screen.

Ive been researching so many posts on here trying to compare the 2 and it seems like everyone is happy with both. In my observations though most of the Carls screen photos posted seem to have some sag and the screen is not 100% flat whereas the pictures of the Par2Pro ones all seem completely flat. Is that correct or just coincidental with the photos i have seen?

Don't know about the sag. My Par2Pro screen is taut. But I had samples (12x 12 inches) of both ahead time and Carl's is whiter, whereas Par2Pro has a yellowish/orange tinting. Like a light bulb made a little warmer. I have no idea how Carl's would have turn out fully installed, but the SQ Par2Pro is awesome, except for that warmer tone still sort bugs me time to time. Gain of 1.0 on that SQ if you care. No idea for Carl.
