Projector Screen Size /color /brand?
Today I held my projector to the ceiling to see what size the screen would be if it were placed there. The screen will be 11 feet away from it. The screen size from that distance is 67" diagonally 53" Length and 35” Height. I want a wide screen theater look to it. What should I do to customize it? Or if this is as good as it gets; what size projector screen should I buy? Any suggestions as to what brand? Color screen (white or gray)?
I can’t say I know much of this subject, but do appreciate your feedback.
Thanks for your time.
In general white screens are best with high contrast ratio projectors (say 5000:1 or more), while light grey is best for lower contrast models. That said, if brightness is an issue (low lumen rating) a white screen may be preferable to give a brighter image. See the first link for a site that reviews specific projectors. Each review usually includes a recommendation re screens, so see if they have reviewed yours.
As to size you have to consider your room and your viewing preferences. The second link provides a useful calculator that connects screen size, aspect ratio and viewing distance.
The final question is aspect ratio. Most consumers go for 16:9 format, but 1.85:1 or even 2.35:1 are other choices. Do some reading ate the 1st or 3rd link.
Finally, you can make your own screen for about $100. See the 4th link.
Hope that helps.
