I have a huge empty painted wall, all white stucco style paint with light brown carpet.
I will be using an Optoma HD25e about 14' away making a 120" screen. The wall is much larger than even that. The room is 100% light controlled via blankets over my blinds. (see avi lol) I sit 13' away.
For now I have just been projecting onto the wall. For some reason I like the white on white bright look and don't mind the glowing effect bouncing on the ceiling. In fact it makes me feel more immersed in the world of the screen. Its like theres nothing in my peripheral and the whole screen is glowing. I like that.

My question is: What is the cheapest place I can order a simple canvas that will help make everything brighter. What gain should I use?
Keep in mind I want brightness and richness and pop above all else when watching Youtube videos and playing PS3 and even projecting my MBP desktop.
I am moving soon so I don't want to invest in a pulldown. I can't paint the walls or anything since the house is for sale.
I literally just want a rolled up raw material delivered that I can just unroll and "attach" directly on that wall with maybe double sided tape/sticky pads so its a step above projecting on white stucco.
Anything is better than just a stucco painted wall. I don't care about black borders, and I don't care about reflections.
I care more about having the brightest most boldest picture when playing games or doing 3D. I hate the dim feeling.
I almost got a HD25-LV but settled on the HD25e because I was planning to make up the difference with a screen that helps with brightness.
I have heard mention of Elite Screens around the boards but when I go on Amazon I can only find the pull down kind and over $200.
I don't want the best, I want the cheapest, and next priority is brightness. Im not sure the deal with grey screens as far as brightness. Is it logical to assume grey screens are better for blacks and color balance? And white screens with higher gain are best for increasing boldness and brightness?
What is the most affordable option delivered to my door at 125' and up? Id like it to be around 100-120$ range if that even exists.
Maybe later Ill opt to put some black tape to create a pretend border but I mostly want the whole wall to feel larger than life like there are no boundaries.
