I just purchased my new projector, Acer PH530 (2500:1, 1000Lum). It should be here early next week. I am building an 8x8 wall in my unfinished basement. I plan on painting the bottom part and about 1 foot of the top flat black, and the rest will be the screen. I need to paint the screen portion, but am not sure what color or sheen to use. I don't want to invest in any Screen Goo or anything of the sort. Some forums mention high gloss, some say flat. Some say neutral gray, some say white. Some mention topcoating with polyurethane. I'm so confused. I need advice badly!!!! I hear alot of people using Behr Silverscreen, but I also hear that it doesn't do very good on reds. Can any of you guide me through this???????????

Hi Guys and Gals,
After buying my NEC-9PG+ projector, I knew I needed an upgrade to my screen system. My screen started out as a wall hanging Oak frame with bright white formica over an HDF sheet; this was later modified to a roll around format on a stand, for flexibilty. This was necessary... -
I thought I'd post a quick overview of my impressions so far on the new Pinnacle K60 in-wall speakers that I got from our new forum sponsor NextLevelAV on friday. First I must say I've been VERY impressed with NextLevel's owner Jim and his attention to his customers. If this is any indication of how...
