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
