    Front projection screens, who has one?

    How many of you have bought a front projection screen in the last few years? Details please. What have you bought?

    Not all that recently, but I have a Stewart microperf screen (180") and before that I had a DaLite AT screen the same size, and before that I had a smaller Draper screen. Each was an improvement over the previous one.

        Well, I know a lot more people than this have projection screens, come on guys, participate.

        Of course we lost our screen advertiser anyway, but I'd still like to see results here.

          Mine isn't terribly "recent" either (7 years now since we rebuilt our house) but we have a Da-Lite drop down 6' wide 16:9 screen. Cosmopolitan I believe it's called. Not sure of the gain or other specs, but it works well with my NEC CRT PJ.

            A screen isn't something you upgrade very often, It's sort of a buy once and forget about it thing.

              I made my own and my current space restrictions limit me to that one for the foreseeable future. If I come into a sizeable chunk of spending money, ideally I'd splurge for a motorized drop down screen with a plasma TV behind it for more casual viewing. But that's a pipe dream, not an expectation.

              About the only option I'd seriously consider down the road is an acoustically transparent screen so I could go for an identical front three speaker array, but that is years down the road.

                I have a Carada for my NEC 9 PG - bought a few years ago, It's a medium reflectance, nice off axis rendition, too.

                  Panoview 92" 16:9 matte white 1.0 gain (IIRC). It's been over 5 or 6 years since I purchased it.

                    I have been using a Jamestown 134" 16x9 screen for about 1 1/2 years now and I am happy with it.

                      Yeah, I've had a couple screens, but in regards to the original post asking about purchases in the last few years, I haven't. My first screen was a 118" perforated Da-Lite that I absolutely loved for my previous theater. Sold it with the house several years ago. My current house came with a theater and 96" Stewart Greyhawk. Great performing screen, but I wish it was bigger. This theater is also not configured for a perforated screen with speakers behind (which I prefer) but still works well. It just hasn't been worth it to me to upgrade, so I'm plenty good with what I've got.

                        I have a Da-lite 105" fixed screen that has served me well for about 9 or 10 years now and still see no need to upgrade.
