I'm finishing up a basement remodel and now I need to choose a screen. I have a Viewsonic PRO8100 projector mounted on the ceiling 12' back from the wall, 7' off the ground. Due to the location of the in-wall speakers, I am looking at a screen size of about 92", MAYBE 96".
The screen can be fixed - the room won't be used for anything else. It is light controlled - I can make it as dark as I need.
From poking around a bit, it seems like I can spend $300-ish on the 'screen goo' paint, or $1,600 on a DaLite screen. I can't find any middle ground
This does NOT have to be the 'best of the best' - it's a modest home theater, and I have fairly modest expectations.
Sooo, is there any commercial alternative in a fixed-frame screen that costs less than $1,600-ish ? Or anything else I should consider in doing this screen ?
Thanks !
