Read this article from wirecutter. It was very helpful when I was researching screens. In the end, it really depends on what you want for your space. Are you going to have GREAT light control (i.e. dark walls, dark ceiling, no ambient light)? If so, go white. I ended up choosing an ALR screen using material from Carl's Place because I wanted my space to have the option to watch TV or sports in the daytime without having to totally block the windows and turn off all of the lights.
Since you're already getting Carl's Place border tape, might as well get their 135" ALR screen as well. It has a gain of 1.5 vs the 1.2 of the Elite Screen one.
I'm actually not sure what show that was on. Got the flu so I was just watching random stuff on Netflix. It's a Dell 1610hd. It's great, once you calibrate the colors it looks indistinguishable from a giant LCD. One of the huge benefits that will make me reluctant to upgrade even probably a couple years from now is that it's the only projector I've ever seen where the light bulb is 60$ and last 1.5 to 2 years. I use it as a TV so reliability and low maintenance is a huge thing for me. I've been using it projected straight onto a wall and I've been curious how good it would really look if I actually got a screen. I'm thinking of getting this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B018J2EH3G?psc=1
I can post before and after pics if ya want.
Thanks, I just looked up ALR DIY and surprisingly found a $144 ALR screen from Carl's at amazon, I bought my original one from them back in 2014 (https://www.amazon.com/Carls-Ambient-Rejecting-Projector-Material/dp/B018J2EH3G the date available for this ALR says Nov, 2015).
The UHD60 won't work, it would need 13'8", I need to project 135" from 12' minus projector depth (12" from wall to wall), otherwise it would have been a great option! My living room is 22' in the other direction but I can't use those walls because of where other entrances are.
