I'm buying my first projector screen. 16:9, 106". As my cinema room does double duty as an entertaining space (well.. it will do... one day...) we need a retractable screen.
I don't want to spend more than £200-250 on this, so unfortunately that rules out tab-tensioned screens so far as I can see. I'll probably be moving house before I get curly edges anyway.
Given my budget constraints, I think a manual screen is my best choice. At this budget, I appreciate that having as much of my money as possible going on the screen material is going to give me more pleasure than having the screen deploy and retract automatically. I'd seen a review of a Luxburg electric screen that seemed good value for money but the reviewer caveated it with "the texture is annoying but you get used to it".
Does anyone have any experience of the Optoma DS-9106MGA or the Sapphire SWS240WSF-ASR2, or those brands in general? Any other brands of screen worth investigating at or below that price bracket?
I don't know if it makes any difference but I watch 3D movies, and there will be a mix of lights-out viewing and "dim daylight" viewing, and the current favourite for the PJ is an Optoma UHD42.
