Man, this sucks being on the other side of the "We like to spend your money" conversation smile

I have a budget of $1,400 to $1,600 for this project. The projector is $950 all in. I figure $100 for an inexspensive equipment stand. Not sure what to do about a projector mount. That leaves $350 to $550 for everything else. I can get a decent budget fixed frame screen locally (Elunvision) for $350 to $400 (96 to 106 screen size).

Given that, you can see the appeal of a screen painted on a wall, though you are right about how it might look. The other advantage of a wall painted screen is that I can play with screen size until I know what works for me for a given viewing distance.

My original idea for a DIY screen was Wilsonart laminate on an aluminum frame. Which I'm guessing is in the $200 to $250 range.
