[QUOTE="FordPrefect, post: 55709, member: 1046"] Screen is white, 120", room is in basement with only one small window that is covered by a blind, walls are dark grey behine the screen and at the far end of the room, side walls are currently dark beige. [url=http://eastporters.com/estore/cart.php?target=product&product_id=278&category_id=59]Welcome to Eastporters - Best Projector Screen Prices in Canada[/url] Wanted to go with a black projector because I went to a lot of trouble to control the lighting in this room. In fact after watching a movie for the first time (Avatar) I'm thinking about going with a dark grey ceiling. Projector is here: PowerLite Pro Cinema 4030 2D/3D 1080p 3LCD Projector [url=http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Product/Overview.do?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&sku=V11H589020MB&Failed_Reason=No+BVCookie+present+to+retrieve+the+session.&Failed_Page=%2fjsp%2fProduct.do]Epson PowerLite Pro Cinema 4030 2D/3D 1080p 3LCD Projector - Product Information - Epson America, Inc.[/url] I bought from Easterporters because: !. They have a very good showroom in an industrial strip mall so you get to see everything. 2. A relative had good luck with them. 3. They came out top the house a year ago when I was starting the project and discussed screen and projector layouts and where the electrical and data boxes need to be. Very good service, both before and after the sale. Installation was not going to be cheap ($600) so I did it myself. You need one other person to hang the screen but the projector is a one person job. The "wow" factor when people see it for the first time is pretty incredible. Both my wife and I are no longer young in body (healthy, thank God,and still act like 19 year olds) but we wanted to make our place sort of a "vacation spot" if you know what I mean. Still have to add a couple of more chairs that will go on a riser. My only regret is that I didn't do it years ago. One caution, make sure you size the screen to the room. My friend has a 106" in a fairly small room and the experience is only so-so. My 10' screen is in a 17'6-"x25' room and I don't think I'd go any bigger. The depth of the room is shortened by there being a wet bar on the back wall. Also a good sound system is ESSENTIAL, especially the center channel where about 90% of the dialogue comes from. I've got 7.2 and still need to get all the speakers put back and set it up correctly. Great hobby, love it. If you need more info PM me for my phone number, or give me yours as all "in Canada calls" are "local" for me. [/QUOTE]
