mounting a projector screen in the corner?

[tonyg]

I have an Infocus home theater projector and I am moving shortly. Currently I have it in a room with a big flat wall and I am just projecting straight onto the wall. It works great.

In my new place however, space is limited and I don't have a flat wall that I can easily project on to or mount a screen on.

Because of the configuration of the room, I think I will have to mount the projector in one corner and project it into the other corner. So I will have to find a way to corner-mount a projector screen.

Any suggestions on an inexpensive type or brand screen and how to exactly mount it (special brackets, hanging from the ceiling,etc)? Also, anyone have experience with making their own screen? Is it difficult to do and would it work in my case? Any help is appreciated.

Take a look at the screen above. I just put one of those into an installation and was VERY suprised by how well built the screen was and the quality was suprisingly good.

Instead of spending a dozen or more hours of time on a DIY solution which may cost a hundred bucks, just drop $250 or so on this and throw it up.

The screen comes with mouting brackets which you can ceiling mount, or use eye bolts to mount to the corner a bit more directly (they are adjustable).

I would say that anyone looking at the DIY route needs to consider this screen strongly.
