656398 2008-04-06 07:05:00 I have been tasked with sourcing a projection screen for a conference. It has to be 5.3m wide at a minimum. I haven't yet spoken to any hire companies, but presume the cost of hire will be out of this world. It is probably about the same cost to build a screen that we could use again. Getting a frame built is not a problem. The question is what to use for the screen itself. Has anyone done this bore, or know anything? wotz (335)
656399 2008-04-06 07:09:00 There are hundred of articles on the net in relation to self built screens, Projectercentral.com is a damn fine place for info, I think they still have forums.

Beware they will recommend $600 pots of paint.

My screen is permanent, 3 sheets of plywood nailed to the wall and painted a blue/grey.

656401 2008-04-06 07:13:00 I believe they generally strech the fabic over a frame and paint it.

Have you tried just using a sheet in the light/conditions you expect?

656402 2008-04-06 07:15:00 I just found out a couple of days ago the size of screen required. It is a professional presentation and requires a good result. I don't have easy access to the venue, and don't have any sheets 6 x 3.6m :) wotz (335)
656403 2008-04-06 07:18:00 Fair enough, Thats a pretty big screen, To be honest, I'd hire one if possible. Metla (12)
