The size of the projected image is more a function of your room dimensions than the actual projector itself.

The HD20 is capable of projecting an image up to 300" - but that's at a throw distance of some thirty-odd feet and probably requires a very high ceiling...

What are the dimensions of your room (including ceiling height)?

As for the screens, have you considered looking into Carada?  They offer screens in virtually any size.  They are Internet direct, so their prices are very good, and their customer service and quality of product are outstanding (they have a customer for life in me).

Of course, there's always the DIY route for screens - several members here have had great success in building their own screen for under $100.

Also realize while it can throw a 300' image, it's 1700 lumens.. and really, tweaked closer to 1000.  So your lumens per foot (fl) on 300' would not be very good.  The standard is around 12fl.

If you ever want to know how a projector will perform, screen size vs. placement vs. picture quality you can check with the calculator:

They also give the calculations on most other projectors.. just use the drop downs.
