Screen from Tiger Direct. It's a pull up screen. Matte white, 100 inches, 16:9. Can't get a pull down due to wife not allowing me to mount it in the ceiling or wall. Fixed Frame is too expensive for me.http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?Sku=E110-1096
Opinions and experience appreciated.
Thanks.

You are better off with a glass beaded gray screen such as the GrayWolf II, which has a gain of 1.8. This will give you both a brighter picture and better contrast than that matte white screen you are looking at. Matte white screens are usually used for business presentations in well-lit rooms with projectors that can put out 2000 or 3000 lumens. There's a good reason why every actor wants to be seen on the "silver screen".Problem is, you might have trouble finding a gray glass beaded pull up screen in the correct size and aspect ratio. I'm still not sure what your wife's objection to a ceiling mounted pull down screen is. I'll put aside the observation that a basement is usually regarded as "man space" by most married couples since I don't know your personal situation. But it's not as if you're trying to install a movie screen in your living room. It's a basement for chrissake! A pull down screen is not all that obtrusive, weighs only 30lbs and can be hung with two relatively small hooks. You could either conceal the screen behind a valance or remove it from the hooks when not in use and place a pair of artificial hanging plants on the hooks to placate the wife.
Build a 100-inch fixed-frame screen like I built for under $50. Give it wood feet made of oak or pine (paint black) to the hight you want and it doesnt have to be attached to the wall at all.
DIY is cost effective but I'm lazy.
Any comments on that screen I linked?
