I'm wanting to replicate the screen found here (2nd picture down on the right). I can't figure out what type of material they used, because it looks like it stretches. I can't imagine that they actually used a sheet. Any ideas for the best material to use? Thanks!

There's no way to tell from a picture. You can buy screen material from a screen manufacturer like Dalite or Draper, or you can use blackout cloth(drapery liner) from any fabric store.

It looks almost like they might have used a matte Spandex-like material. Most of the materials like that are fairly glossy; someone might have a good matte version.

Or, well,

at Rose Brand. Don't know what it really looks like in person, and it's $27/yard, about 2 yards wide (77 inches.) Again, don't know how it performs as an actual projection screen material (hotspotting.)

Never thought of spandex. I may try that out. Thanks!
