You say having a pj for nights, are you thinking of a temp set up? What room?

After reading about that particular projector, grey matte seems to be the way to go in terms of screens, any idea what kind of fabric is used for em? Or if its a special blend? Would having a secondary white matte be good for daytime? I don't know what I'm really rambling about, but any info would be great... hehe.

If you can go with a fixed screen, they are reasonably priced and can get grey or white. Can you measure and handle a drill? Build your own. There is an entire thread over at AVS using various paints, fabrics and I'm considering going with Wilsonart laminate counter top material.

Well I got my projector today, all I can express is 
. I'm projecting up against an old wall that isn't smooth in the least at about 74" and am amazed at how beautiful a picture this thing (HD1000U) has. I was half-expecting it to be disappointing after how hyped I was, but good god is it nice, especially considering the price ($850). Even the SD stuff is looking good (but nowhere near the jaw-droping amazingness of HD).
Decided to go with BOC, Vinyl-side out. Bought the material, now I just need to make a mount. My main concern is I move in about 20 days and don't really want to butcher the wall here.
