I'm about to embark on a new DIY project in building my first screen for my future projector. In searching around I've come across a few useful links that I'll share with you.
The first is a fairly large PDF on installing screens and projectors etc. Its 74 pages long and full of valuable info.
Guide to Screens
The second has to do with how to stretch cloth over a frame which will come in handy should I decide to build mine from blackout cloth...
How to strech screen material
I'll continue to update this thread as I learn more about my options but right now it looks like I'm going to try to build a frame and stretch black out cloth over it and then paint it with white gesso paint.
Im my HT since I have the 32" wega for 4:3 material I'll need to make it so that I can move the screen out of the way so what I'm thinking of doing is mounting the screen to the ceiling on a piano hinge so that I can swing it up and attach it to the ceiling when not in use. I haven't figured out yet how I'm going to attach it to the ceiling (velcro's one idea) but I think it could work esp if i cover the backside with either black material or paint it the same colour as the ceiling tiles (dark grey)
