Thanks for those links guys. My theater room is almost done, and I haven't decided if I'm going to paint a screen, or make one from BO cloth...
There is so much discussion on the forum about both, I'm a little dizzy....maybe I'll paint first, then try a screen to see which one I like better...do you guys know anything about this screen?

All their selling is the fabric, not the whole screen setup. You can buy the fabric at JoAnn's for like $12.00! Make a frame for like $30.00 and add a velvet border/edge for like $12.00, so the whole deal costs like $55.00!

Is that B/O cloth they are selling on ebay, or is it regular screen material?

I doubt its actual screen material they use in theaters, but its not BO cloth. I bought the 110x96. It has a rubberized backing...that will stretch up to 2" each way. I really like it. It says it has a gain of 1.3...I don't know much about gain, but my PJ is not sealed all the way around, and I can have 2 60 watt lights on and see the image fine. It comes folded in a fedex box, and when I first got it, I tried to hang it up with tape to get the wrinkles out, it fell during the night, and laid in a big heap in the floor for a week, before I got my frame built. Every wrinklr came out when I stretched it over the frame...There's pics in my Project Gallery Post...
