Hey guys,

just wondering what kind of projector screen cloth do i need in order to have a fairly cheap projector screen? Can i get a good projector screen cloth from some local hardware store? or do i need to have those special types of projector screens...which r kinda expensive?

plz advice!

You can just use a white sheet or a white wall.

We have a projector set up in our living room just playing on a big wall.

GTA rawks on it :01:

Yes, any opaque white surface will work. And try to have it matte, if it is glossy it might look weird. If you want to go really economical, besides using a white wall, just go to deli, and ask them if you can have some white paper. And tell them it is for a school project or something.

Why dont you just project it onto a white wall? There really is no difference. The surface just needs to be continuous and smooth.

Hey good idea, a white bed sheet would work. But i would place a couple of them on top of each other, or double one over, and put it on a wall.
