I currently will be getting a stewart film screen around 109 inches. i dont know of any other companys that make film screens if you have any other options would like to know. also want to know what is a good projector for about 3000 dollars
Answer
Da-Lite makes screens of good quality, but Stewart Filmscreen is considered the best, but they cost more. You will probably go for a fixed-pixel projector, so consider the Greyhawk or Firehawk, which are designed for those. These screens are low gain, and as a result provide a very wide viewing angle and enhance the dark areas of the image.
For a screen that size I would definitely consider a true 1080p projector such as Sony's SXRD. http://www.ultimateavmag.com/videoprojectors/1205sony/ It has received outstanding reviews for picture quality. However, it is much more than $3000.
You may be able to find good DLP projectors for less tjhan $5000. I prefer the Sharp projectors, see http://www.projectorcentral.com/sharp_z2000.htm So far, DLP front projectors in a reasonable price range are still 720 lines. (Before you buy a DLP projector, make sure you don't see "rainbows" when your eyes scan across the screen.)
Go to the AVS forum http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/ and look under digital projectors (two categories: under $3500 and above $3500). See what critical users are saying. If you can possibly boost your price range a bit, try to get into that latter category.

A good home theater projector?
ThatOneGuy
I would like to buy a projector to project tv/movies on my wall instead of having a tv. what is a good projector to buy and what are some of your experiences from using a projector as a tv? what kind of things should i look for when buying a home theater projector?
Answer
Honestly a decent front projector and screen is not cheap and if budget is a factor then a direct view HD 1080p display is a better option. There are allot of cheap projectors on the market and really produce a very poor image.
So the key is budget and size image you should have for viewing distance.
15 feet or closer then direct view TV is better choice. Its helpful to understand that the larger the image the more flaws it will show in the program material. So its not fun to watch poor video from TV broadcast or dvd on a large screen it only makes the image look worse. But on the other hand when watching high quality program material on a big screen it gives a much more involving and life like experience.
If you don't have at least $2500 on a front projection system and screen, I would suggest against going front projection and going with a good direct view 1080p HD TV.
