I am trying to decide whether to get a fixed frame screen vs screen paint.
Setup: It's a 165" diagonal (144"x80.5" 1.78:1 ratio) picture. The room is not totally dark, and I do need wide viewing angles. From reading on projectorcentral, it looks like I should probably look for a gray screen and I should be shooting for gains close to 1.0. In terms of brands, it looks like they are recommending the Stewart Firehawk or the Da-lite HCCV. But neither of them seem to have a ~165" size and they seem to be 1.6:1 instead of 1.78:1 ratios. Any ideas on good fixed frame screens?
If not, I've been thinking about backing off and using ScreenGoo instead. Thoughts on that vs fixed frame?
From looking at the different costs (including labor costs), price doesn't seem to be a huge factor. If I could find a great fixed frame screen, I would probably just do that to save some hassle.
Thanks!
