Hello. I am looking for some assistance on a screen for this projector. I am mainly looking for something that is pull down and will not wrinkle. The native rez is 4:3 but it will also do 16:9 and 5:4. The projector will be around 16 feet from the wall on a shelf. This is not a basement room so there will be some external light during the day. I am limited on the brands I can purchase however. I place the order through my work vendor witch happens to be CDW.COM. They have these brands
Dalite
Bretford
Mitsubishi Digital Electronics
Draper
Quartet
Epson
InFocus
Chief Manufacturing
NEC Visual Systems
Proxima
Plus Corporation
SERIOUS MAGIC
