Any screen you buy can do that... pull it down a little longer and you have a regular screen size...

What a deal!!!!!!
I came home with the find of the century today 😎 I purchased a used "excellant condition" Draper Motorized screen, it's the Envoy model in 10 ft by 10 ft. I scored this BIG beauty at an office furniture liquidation warehouse.....this is the cool part...$200.00 Cdn. I hope to get some help in this weekend to put it up...weighs about 125 or so pounds...arrgghhh. Will post pics when it's on the ceiling where it belongs.

Re: screen
That movie is Ghost World, the song is the opening to the movie. That's the movie that was in my DVD player when I turned it on that night.
The screen isnt DIY. I don't really consider my project DIY cause I just bought all the stuff and threw it on top of eachother. The screen is in the 2.35:1 position, it has knobs with notches to adjust it to 4:3, 16:9, 2.35:1, and 1:1. I usually have it in 2.35:1, which is why in my video, part of the projection is off the screen. The specs are:
3M 9700 OHP (4300 lumens with the zoom lens)
Sharp QA1650 TFT LCD Panel
DaLite 70x70 Adjustable Projection Screen
Total cost was about $350. The OHP was brand new at $100 plus shipping, the panel was $140 plus shipping... I got the screen from a magazine. They were selling generic 70x70 screens that weren't adjustable for $79, I had ordered one, but they ran out of stock and sent me the DaLite in place of the generic one. I've see this DaLite go for about $140 on eBay.
I'm going to capture some more video tonight, I'll have it up tomorrow morning.

Negative,
For the love of god and all that's holy. Post a new thread for your discussion. This one is for results.
Hence, the title, "Post your results!!!" I had thought that would make it explicit.

WTF is your problem?? am i the ONLY one posting off topic discussions here?? why are you only mentioning me!!!!!!
im not the only one posting here are you scared to address everyone else that posted BEFORE me???
DONT PUT THE BLAME ONE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it sucks how people here (and i am not saying i have never done it) can not keep a tread on topic for more that a few days. Somehow, they always tend to go off topic.

i agree and im sorry for posting off topic but i find it uneccesary for him to put the blame on me. i posted off topic once before he warned me and i respectfully stoped and then some one posted soemthing asking me a question and i answered and that how it got this far...but i didnt start the second round of off topic discussion. and again i apologize.maybe some one should post a new thread and copy the info here. and i will DEFINITELY not post there. if i do it will be posting pix.
