You will need a 2.39:1 screen size of at least 110" diagonal given how far back the projector will be, and the projector will be at or near minimum zoom, which will lower brightness but increase contrast. Between the large screen and the lower brightness, a very nice and surprisingly affordable screen is the Da-Lite High Power.

This will work best if the projector is on a shelf around eye level, where it provides high gain with no grain, speckles, or hot spotting. I have a motorized version of this screen and love it. The image brightness is actually quite good even at large angles off axis, it's just really bright near axis, where you can dial the iris down and pick up even more contrast. AVS has great prices on Da-Lite screens. As to the prism gear, that's for someone else. My screen space is width limited, so I have a 16:9 screen. The cheap way out is to get a 2.39:1 screen and zoom out for 16:9 content, but you will need a larger screen since at 110" you would be out of zoom. Zoom memory would be nice, but JVC's don't have this feature.

With a 550, do consider posting in the owner's thread that I started.

If you want to go with an anamorphic lens, the screen will be a 2.39:1. Da-Lite will do this as a custom. I don't understand what you mean by "70x70". Contact Jason at AVS for a good screen quote.

I think that he sells anamorphic lenses as well, but as I posted, you could skip the expense and just zoom.

"could you please let me know the correct screen size ? to buy for this"

I thought that I did. At least 110", 2.35:1, given where you are placing the projector.

All of the major manufacturers make 2.35 screen so depending on your budget and what screen you want, you can choose what you want. As for the lens, there are 4-5 choices. The two favorite one here are the Prismasonic and the Panamorph. One level above those are the Isco III and the Schneider but they are about twice as much as the first two. WE can help you buy what you need here at the forum
