Subscribing, I've been using a thick white sheet as a screen but want something better for out back. -
outdoor use? I certainly hope you mean for night. Remember your blacks are only as dark as the room is.
For outdoor use you're going to be shopping for lumen output. Which is a derivative of the size you want. The Epson 8350 is a good projector with high lumen output. I personally would make sure you bring both the screen and project in after you use it, never a good idea to leave them outside.
One of the stand screens at monoprice would probably serve you well. If it's in an area where there is a lot of wind, you might want to look into a tension style."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Seems like blackout curtain is a preferred medium, 110"x200" sheets for 75ish bucks on Amazon. I want to secure eyelets in it and use beaner clips to attach it to eye hooks on a pair of trees.Comment

if you're looking to do a 110" screen outdoors you're going to want even more lumens.Originally posted by lowthreeohz View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
