With a name like Screen Excellence, you know it won't be cheap, but it'll probably be a real treat for the eyes. If you're shaking this recession off like it's your job, you'll be delighted to know that said company is now shipping its VistaCurve projection screens for those with the requisite coin. The new range is comprised of curved 1.78 and 2.37 aspect ratio models, both of which are available in sizes from 80- to 160-inches wide. They also feature the company's Enlightor 4K (EN4K) screen material formulation, which is said to be the "first and only acoustically transparent screen material that has been designed specifically for high-end Commercial D-Cinema and cutting edge residential high-end installations." The fixed frame models start at $5,800, but look, it's way better than
importing Philips' Cinema 21:9 and
being stuck at 56-inches.

What is that image on the TV? Anyone know? It looks an awful lot like a ship called "The Liberator", which was the primary ship in a BBC Sci-Fi show called "Blake's 7" from the late 70's (only updated).
Yes! Wow.. You and others noticed this too. What an obscure show. Good show. Or terribly cheesy -- I donno, but I liked it.
There are a few differences... the Liberator's "nacelles" angled out a bit, and the glowy ball of propulsion in the back was more pronounced. And it was white. There was episode where the race that built the liberator found it and gave chase in similiar black vessels, maybe... uh... that's one?
Good lord... I'm such a nerd.
I thought the same thing. It was a little too much like The Liberator to be chance.
Yeah that sure looks like an updated Liberator :) Nice to see the old girl still flying :)
