I was wondering what kind of projector screen would suit me best? Looking for a screen about 90inches
Answer
I have an optoma hd66 3d 720p dlp projector and a dedicated HT room. . I did not use the typical projection screen material but used plywoods cut to size and prepared it to be finished with satin paint. It cost me less tha a $100. It worked and the picture quality is great!

Answer
A projector and screen is a great idea (I wouldn't go back to a 'small" screen (i.e. anything under 80-90") for anything). That said, everyone has somewhat different preferences / needs re a projector / screen so I'm not going to recommend a specific brand/model.
I suggest doing some reading at the two sites I've provided links for. While you can certainly get a projector within your budget range, you must decide between a new or refurbished or used model. The advantage of new is you get a warranty, but he disadvantage is you won't get as high quality. Consider though that a used projector may not have much time left on the lamp ... and replacements can cost $300-$400! That said, lamps cost more or less the same for budget and more expensive projectors, so there is an advantage to looking for a higher end used model than buying an inexpensive new/refurbished model.
At your budget point you should look for the highers resolution and highest contrast ratio projector you can find. Generally, you will find DLP based models offer more for the $$ than LCD models. Be aware that projectors designed for business use (most of the lower cost models) are usually not optimized for Home Theatre (HT) use (contrast is likely to be poor, fans can be noisy and video processing may be poor). A true HT design is preferable.
As to screens, I highly recommend building your own fixed screen (I've built two, each costing less than $100, and have been very satisfied), either using paint (Goo systems products are good, but you can do your own cheaper), melamine sheeting or blackout cloth. See the 3rd link for the AVS forum DIY Screen section ... lots of useful advice and sample pictures.
Hope that helps. Good luck.
