You have to make sure your wall if VERY smooth of the bumps etc will show up. Also make sure you primer the wall. I agree with the poster above that you should buy or build your own screen this can be done very easily for next to nothing. You buy the wood..build a solid frame..go to a fabric store and buy some Black Out cloth and stretch it over your frame and boom you have a screen.

Its called Goo Screen systems. - Link here - http://www.projectorcentral.com/Goo_Systems-Screen_Paint.htm And here - http://www.alternativehometheatre.c...c?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=AHT&Category_Code=01 (this is the kit for up to 130") Also my advice is to not use a semi-gloss or gloss finish, use eggshell finish. (if you do not use Goo system) This has been discused before. I can point you in the direction of those threads if needed. EDIT:: Great link the fellow posted below. But funny that it says nothing about Goo System??? Which has actually gotten quite a few good reviews. And has been around long enough now, that it should have been on that link.????
