Recommended Screen for a Sanyo PLV-Z3 projector

[Michael.snow]

I am looking for the recomended screen for my Sanyo PLV-z3 projector.

The projecor is in a small dedicated room (12'x20'). The room will be dark most of the times.

I have not said no to an accoustically transparent screen but it may not be worth the money at this time.

Being a handy carpenter, would it be worth my while to purchase the material and make my own custom screen for installation?

Thank you in advance.

I would suggest you try Carada screens www.carada.com - they make a beautiful screen - very easy to assemble and the prices are the best available today. Check out the frames they use - with other brands these are an option costing more $ - not so with Carada. David Giles is great to work with - you won't be disappointed.

I made a temporary screen for my Sanyo Z2 from a sheet of mdf painted off-white (1 drop of black dye in a litre of flat white). It's hung on a cleat (45 degree back-bevel on the wall and mdf sheet).

My temporary screen is now a year old. I have no plans to replace it as it looks fine.

Also check out Cousin's Video. They have both premade screens, or you can buy the fabric from them and make a frame for a fixed, tensioned screen (this what I did in the past) for a great price.
