Re: widescreen

["Alan Cockerton" <alancc@xxxxxxx>]

I brought my screen in a 4:3 format so that when I have time I will fit an
additional down sensor and second roller with black fabric, when I want
16:9
the screen will not drop fully and the top mask will lower blanking off the
top. The area around the screen that was masked when it was made is very
very black and does a superb job of tidying up the edge of the picture,
anyone know where I can get some black fabric?.
