Sometimes You Get Lucky - Blu-ray Forum

The story... My wife decided to have a yard sale and for some reason she decided to sort through some clothes in the theater room. Worse she had a clothes rack and decided a good place to to this sorting was in front of my 120" screen. Out of love for 45 years of marriage I asked politely if she would please move the rack. Which she promised to do but unfortunately not at the moment I asked.

An hour later I go into the theater room to get a soda out of the cooler and find the following. The rack has tipped over and put a large dent in my screen. Not ripped but bowed in about the size of a sheet of paper. I of course was sick and thought how am I going to repair this or probably more than likely will have to buy a new screen. I of course looked up some suggestions for repair (nothing out there other than a heat gun try) and started scanning what the price of a new screen was going to cost.

Stayed out of the room for two days I was so sick about the screen. Didn't want to see it I was still so ticked. Hoever on day two I did go back in to look at the damage. Miracle of miracles the screen was fine. No visible damage at all. Can only assume how much tension and stretch there is on a screen it slowly stretched the dent out. Once again this was not a minor little dip it was a major dent.

I guess the moral to the story (other than don't put something in front of your screen) if you get a dent (not a rip) give it a few days before doing something immediately (hard not to react) as physics may take care of the problem.
