Projection Screen Question (1 Viewer)

[MattGuyOR]

I've noticed you can purchase projection screens in the 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Are there lenses you can attach to digital front projectors that would make watching 1.85:1, 1.78:1, and 1.66:1 aspect ratios possible on these w i d e screens? I think it would be ideal if the "black bars" for these films were on the sides, so you could just use a nice curtain to mask the sides. Does this make sense?

Thanks! I knew there had to be something like that, this is exactly what I was looking for. Now, how much are these suckers? haha. In any case, when I'm ready for this, I'll just have to find an expert to guide me through and install it all. I don't want to mess around. Thanks again.
