If you want the frame to look even better, build a wooden frame to size. I would suggest wrapping each piece of the wooden frame in a thin black carpet. This is what we did, and it looks outstanding! You can point any projector onto any wall. Nobody is going to stop you, but if you are a little OCD then these small things may get annoying as time goes on. With that said, if you still choose to use a projector without a screen, then I highly suggest doing the three things mentioned above.
Smoothen that wall, paint it, smoothen it some more, paint it again, etc. Then place a nice dark frame around the projection area.
These things will make a noticeable difference, I promise! After buying the screen paint and materials for the border, then spending the time prepping everything. Is it really worth it to do all this work when you could just purchase a prebuilt projector screen? In my opinion, no not really! Check out our recommended projector screens for our favorite choices.
If you want the cheapest option possible, then I suggest buying the projector screen material and building a customized frame around it. This is the best solution for the price, but that is just my opinion. But if you have the extra cash or budget, then definitely buy a fixed frame projector screen and save yourself a lot of time and effort.
It has truly been a wonderful experience, and I encourage you to try it if possible! So is this still relevant? Nowadays most projectors, particularly the new laser ones that sit six inches from your wall, are around 5x brighter than the old style "across the room" projectors and work even in bright daylight as brightly as a "normal" LCD TV. As I understand it, most folks do NOT use screens with these that are typically projected at " or more - a screen would be prohibitively expensive at this size.
We have a nice screen with our older projector, at around ", but I'm going to buy one of these newer models and may well project at 14 foot size. I was thinking of just taking the old screen down can't use it for sure and not bothering with anything other than projecting on our white wall we need to repaint but not because it's not white - just old.
But put up a 14" screen? Doesn't seem really necessary or practical. There are many types of projector screens, which are different in terms of type and screen material. Cut out small sizes of tape, and with each, glue the rear projection material to the pipe.
Do this for all sides of the frame making sure it is properly secured. Mount it at a good distance away from the wall, and set up your projector and other needed devices, behind it. Turn your projector, and view the image from the other side. You do not need a special projector for a rear projector screen , since almost all projectors can flip images. Using the rear projection feature, the image can be adjusted so you will be able to view it properly on the other size.
One benefit of the rear projection screen is that it prevents shadowing. It allows you to stand in front of the image without blocking the light from the projector. This makes it great for making presentations, as you can move freely without casting shadows. It is also great for motion sensor games.
In rear projection, it is important to have enough space behind the screen especially if you are using a long-throw projector. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

Many people mistakenly believe that a simple painted white wall or a plain white bed sheet will do the job as well. While you will see a picture of sorts with either of these options it will be one where detail, contrast and colour fidelity are heavily compromised. A sheet is just as bad, adding a lack of flatness to that sorry list of failings.
The first thing you need to decide is how big you want the screen to be. This depends on how much space you have, but typical sizes tend to be between 96 — inches measured diagonally. So, if you have a screen that is 2. As well as the size of screen, consider the type. This screen design accommodates widescreen programming display on all, or most, of the actual screen surface area, while the 4x3 design will result in a larger unused screen surface area when viewing widescreen programming.
However, the 4x3 design will allow the projection of a much larger 4x3 image, which would fill the entire screen surface. Some screens are available in very wide 2. Most video projectors designated as Home Theater or Home Cinema Projectors project a default 16x9 aspect ratio image. However, they can be configured for 4x3 display, and, in some cases, can also be configured for a wider 2. Most Video projectors can be configured to project an image from either the front or rear of the screen and can table or ceiling mounted.
Front projection is the most common, and the easiest to set up. If you need or want to place your projector close to the screen, or you prefer to project the image onto the screen from the rear, it is advisable to get a short throw projector that was discussed previously. There are several types of screens to accommodate different installation needs. If you are planning to construct or use a room as a dedicated home theater room, you have the option of installing a screen on the wall permanently.
These types of screens are usually referred to as "Fixed Frame" as the actual screen surface material is placed within a solid wood, metal, or plastic frame so that it is always exposed and cannot be rolled up. In this type of screen installation, it is common to also install curtains in front of the screen to hide and protect the screen surface when not in use. This type of screen installation is also the most expensive.
A pull-down screen can be semi-permanently mounted on a wall and can be pulled down when in use and then raised up into a protective housing when not in use.
This way you can still have other items on the wall, such as paintings or other decorations, when not viewing the video projector. When the screen is in use, it simply covers the permanent wall decorations.
Some pull-down screens allow the screen case to be mounted in the ceiling instead of having to be mounted on the wall externally. The least expensive option is the totally portable screen. One advantage of a portable screen is that you can set it up in different rooms, or even outdoors, if your projector is also portable. The drawback is that you have to do more adjusting of the screen and the projector every time you set it up. Portable screens may come in a pull-up, pull-down, or pull-out configurations.
Video projection screens are made to reflect as much light as possible to produce a bright image in a specific type of environment.
To accomplish this, screens are made of various materials. The type of screen material used determines the Screen Gain , ambient light rejection ALR , and viewing angle characteristics of the screen. Also, another type of projection screen in use is the Black Diamond from Screen Innovations. This type of screen actually has a black surface analogous to black screens on TVs — however, the material is different.
