I saw this yesterday, then spent way too much time trying to track down a picture without subscribing to the Wall Street Journal (I steal my neighbor's copy), but it's too interesting not to mention. Apparently, Sony is showing off a new projector screen that is black (instead of the normal white or gray) that looks incredible even in high ambient light situations. What they've done is add a filter to the screen that only reflects red, green, and blue, ignoring (shunning!) white and yellow light from incandescent or fluorescent bulbs, and perhaps even that cursed floating hydrogen bulb, our sun. So that's great and all, but can we get a pic? Without paying $70, I mean?

Maybe now we can finally leave the lights fully turned on and get a nice saturated image from a ht projector :)

I would probably agree if this was about something like a HT audio receiver where you can get the same technology for cheaper, but this is new stuff -- no one else has this yet -- right? :shrug:

I found a thread on this screen on a different forum. Someone even took the time to post pics of it with lights on and off. Very clean looking. I wonder when it will make general release and the price point?

By the time we all read this, Apex is probably setting it up now, uploading pictures for us and writing a review. :)

How much money is it? Decent screens are a few thousand and they don't have the Sony label on them.
