I searched the forums and I was wondering if you guys could expound on something for me. By the way, I love this site and am learning so much from you pros. Ok, so I am looking at 4:3 and my question is in regards to showing widescreen (I guess that is 16:9???). I read the replies pasted...

Guys, I am a real newbie at this. I am down to a couple of projectors that I plan on using for a 16 foot screen... outdoors. It will be in a downtown area on a side block -- so not full city lights but there is some. From a previous post, I learned that I need a lot of lumens. I do not...

Good morning. I am seeking advice for details regarding my wall and screen for my home theater. This is not in regards to the material… I think I have that. This is more in regards to the wall and the screen and the many questions I have – do I float, do I recess, do I allow the sound to come...

I have been scouring some online auctions from various school districts and have found a bundle of pull down screens for very cheap. But they are not as large as I want. I am looking at other places... and for my purposes... I really don't need the hardware. Am I able to buy just the material...

I am a newbie -- and the information out there goes over my head a little. I am trying to build a screen that we will use outdoors. Having an option of front or rear would be nice -- butif that is not possible that is ok. What are the properties that i need to look for in regards to...
