Inexpensive Projector Screen

Was looking at a DIY screen project I found online and then I found
this. I have an InFocus IN24 used for watching movies, etc.
Wouldn't this work as a family movie screen in a dark room? I just
want at least 1.0 gain, I think that's what the brightness rating is
on white matte screens. I'm all ears.

I see two things wrong with it...first it would never be flat unless you
glued it to a fixed frame or something. Second...it's sqaure. You need a
16:9 screen for movies.

you can order a glass bead screen with many gain options...
the best for video projection being 1.15-1.50
however there is no cheap screen that is good for video
projectors, you get what you pay for.
call Stewart filmscreen..........
On a REAL video projector, you can set the aspect for any
size screen you like, however an LCD single lens is not
in this category.
