I'm looking for a 55" (diag) 16x9 pull-down screen with 48" (vertical) of black drop material above the screen. Does anyone know who makes such a product or where I can get a custom one made? I can find plenty of screens the right size, but none with enough vertical drop.
Here's why I need the unusual screen...
My home theater is the parlor of an old victorian home. There is no wall without a door, fireplace or window. Thus, I'm looking for a screen that I can mount above the pocket doors between the parlor and dining room. The screen will need to pull down a considerable distance to be at the correct viewing height.
I'd love to have a larger screen but the room only allows a coffee table projector with a max throw of 7.5 feet. (13 feet viewing distance) Using something like an Optoma HD80, I can achieve a 55" image without needing to buy an expensive short throw lens. An LCD panel would be around the same size and price but would permanently block the pocket door opening.
Any ideas where to get a screen with a lot of drop? My googling has yet to turn up anything.
