I'm a such a n00b but happy to be! Now, please, all expersts don't hold back and give it to me straight... did I buy a bad projector or it's pretty good? My ultimate quest is to see if my setup option will work ok for what I will be doing...

I got a hook up from Best Buy, cost me $104.oo total after discounts..... seemed like good deal, all I think I know is lumens, and think that's good??
Anywy, basically going to use outdoors for patio movie night; kid's sitting on trampoline and adults around a fire pit... maybe me on trampoline when kids are asleep and watching Guy Movies!
The goal for me is to get a manual or electric retractable screen... hand under roofline on back house wall where no windows are... the height of the wall is 84" (7') tall and 192" (16') wide
The specs on the projector... "Aspect Ratio : 4:3, 16:9 Compatible"
I think I would get a Diagonal: 120" 16:9 screen... but I really don't know.... what will fit on this wall as far as screens go and any links to buy them would be great; since this is an occasional outdoor rig, I will mount hooks to put/mount screen houseing and retract and remove from hooks when not in use so not looking for the Bill Gates Screen $$$$$ more like the hook up.... really great screen $100
