I just got a new Sanyo Z2 front projector and am
wondering how big my screen should be.
seating will be about 15 feet from screen to back of couch.
Also if anyone has a link to some good DIY screen links or info I'd love to see them and know what you think of them.

Greg,
Depends on what you want. I would recommend an 80" wide or 92" wide screen. I have some links at home. Most people seem to DIY(blackout cloth). I just painted my wall and used 2 1/4 " border(black) and I love my Z1....

Well, since you already have the projector, just project it onto a wall while sitting about 15' away. Then change the size until ou are happy with it, measure, and buy/build the screen.

I personally would not go above 100" diagonal with the Z2. After calibration you will lose a little as far as brightness is concerned. An overly large screen will reduce the brightness seen on the screen further.

Check out projectorcentral.com...they just posted the review today and they recommend no more than a 100" screen for best results.
