Default What projector screen?

I have a Sim2 HT3000 projector and im really letting it down at the moment with just a normal da-lite 120inch screen, of course it still looks awesome but i feel it could look loads better.

The main problem is its not tab tensioned and therefore never 100% flat and the bottom doesnt seem that weighted either.

So i'm on the look out for tab-tensioned screen between 120-140 inches (true widescreen) and also must have a suitable gain to handle true 1080p. I dont have a clue what brand of screens are good etc so thats why im here, any help would be great

Thanks

I'd post the same question over on AVForums if I were you, rather than asking this bunch!

You'd probably get more sensible answers: AVForums Home

I have the same problem with my Da-lite screen as well but I think for the extra cost to a screen type of what your mentioning isn't worth the bother!!

Well would spend upto £1k-£1.5k maybe a little more after all I think after 10k on a projector is deserves something like that, thanks will check out the forum.

Cheers

Mine is a few years old now but was top of the range sony in its day doing high def and costing £5k but I still don't think I would be paying that for a screen as 65" plasma's are dropping drastically, I know its small compared to the projector but Its a bit more sightly in the room

Sim2 is a cracking projector, It was a choice between one of those and the sony one when I was buying and I went with the sony vw10ht. As it was like evo vs scoob when these two were launched

If you find out a easonable priced way of sorting this problem out I wouldn't mind knowing

I dont know if It would work?? But I once considered trying "thin metal strips" taped across the back of the screen?? something really thin but that would make the screen totally flat ?? as you would only need a couple ??
