Projection Screen


Hi all!

I am looking to buy a projection screen to create my home theater. Does anyone know what to look for when buying a good quality projection screen with a black frame? There are so many projection screens out there but are they any good? What is a good brand or does it not matter?

Also, when you buy a projection screen, does it usually come with the black frame or where do I go to buy a nice looking black frame to go with the screen material? Does the frame usually come assembled or do you have to out it together yourself? I assume the frame will come with a user manual to show you how to put the frame together.

Thanks!

For a year or two, I threw my picture on wall about the same color of this yellow page, with very good results.

I purchased a Da Lite screen because I got tired of taking down the artwork on the wall every time I wanted to show a movie, and to re-hang the artwork when the movie was over. I'm able to get the room theater-dark and I have an excellent picture. My projector is very bright (3000 lumens). My screen and projector are not that expensive. I use it for movies only and some special event television like the Super Bowl or pay per view boxing events.

If you can get your room theater dark, an inexpensive Da Lite screen will get the job done nicely.

Do your homework as suggested by the members above.

Also check out the ProjectorCentral website....they have tons of info there. Also go to the Da Lite website, it is also very helpful.
