After weeks of diligent research, auditioning and reading many of your insightful postings, I have made the plunge and purchased a JVC Dila G11 which should be delivered early next week. I have seen the Stewart Grayhawk and know it is the gold standard for performance and am seriously considering ordering it. My first question is this: What would you choose to use as an screen for the short term until a high quality screen ordered and delivered?
I was thinking of a 16X9 screen somewhere in the 96 inch to 108 inch width range. For the short term, most bang for the buck, I have heard that the matte white foam backed poster board works well as a fixed screen. Da-lite screens with standard matte white are only about $200. I don't have a white wall to use in the room that I will be using the projector.
My second question is which screen you would choose if you were planning to use a Dila projector and also a CRT with the flexibility of going back and forth between the two projectors?
Finally, has anyone had any experience with Da-lites "high contrast" 0.8 gain gray vinyl screen which is designed for high lumen digital projectors?
