can you get a 96" diagonal electric screen?

I have just moved house and used to use a home made 96" fixed screen

I was hoping to get a slightly larger electric screen for the new house, but after measuring the ceiling height and my av unit height, I can only get a 96" screen in again

btw i am measuring 96" on the viewable diagonal, so 213x120cm (W x H) viewable

the closest thing I can find is a 95" beamax, most screens seem to be 92" or 106"

but before I decide to order one of the beamax 95", I just wanted to know if I have any other options

Many thanks

Phil

Re: can you get a 96" diagonal electric screen?

I have solved my own problem, I've just fired up the projector again, and I have worked out I can squeeze in a 106inch screen, with a few cm to spare after the projector housing dimensions and the border etc...

Thanks for looking at my thread

Hi flipfella,
Sorry we couldn't answer your question before you solved it.
For anyone else looking for odd size screens, some manufacturers can make screens to your specification. More expensive than the standard off the shelf one's but bespoke sizes are common so more and more manufacturers are now offering made to order screens.
Hope this helps someone.
