Do you mean a blackout screen which does not allow light to pass through it so can be placed in front of a window blocking out ambient light?
Or do you mean a black fronted screen to project onto?
Hopefully it is the first as the second would not be suitable for projecting onto at any time of day or night!!
They do grey screens which improves blacks giving the image more impact including during the day but a black screen would not reflect light so everything would look dark, not only the blacks.

i think you may mean the Sony Chromavue "black" (actually dark grey) screen. A quick search on google will reveal more.

A bit expensive I see. Maybe try the Panoview Gray Wolf screen which I have which works in a similar way. 92" pull down screen for £85.

The Sony doesn't work in any way remotely similar to your screen, with is retroreflective, returning light almost directly back on axis to the viewer.

The Sony actually "Rejects" light via a propritary layering of specific Light Filtering films embedded within it's substrate.

I meant both have a dark grey coating and act to increase contrast and black levels making daylight use a viable option. I didn't mean their technology is the same.
I assume you mean the Sony "Rejects" ambient light, not the light from the projector which would seem rather strange!!
