Hi, so I'm sure this has been covered more recently, but the only thread I can find is really old.
I've just bought a cheap projector - and it's absolutely brilliant! We've got it displaying a 130" inch screen, and I'm wondering why we haven't done it before. The wife and kids love it.
So now we have the bug. Next purchase (before a quieter projector ideally with a shorter throw), is a screen.
There's a 130" 16:9 on trademe for $250 delivered. That seems very cheap so naturally I'm suspicious. I can't go see it, so I'm reliant on reviews and advice.
Are the cheap trademe screens (motorised) any good?
Or would I be better painting the wall (currently grey) - fixed screen is no problem, the room is dedicated.
Or is it better to get a good brand - perhaps an older, 2nd hand one? I was thinking about pulling it apart and stretching the fabric over a fixed frame because I can't find proper fabric here.
There's an old one on TM now (American brand), local, 150". Perhaps that could be the fabric donor?
Any advice much appreciated.
Cheers, Havanother
