This decision will be the easiest one yet if I go with a PJ......SCREEN!!!

Why?

Because I'm repainting the bathroom. I had to so some patches here and there and then the wall needed to be sanded.

We are in the year 2010. We sent man to the moon over 40 years ago. And nobody has invented a product that doesn't need to be sanded resulting in white freakin' dust up your nose and every other nook and crannie in the immediate area!! ><(*#$%&()*%&#)(.....Jesus H. Christ!!!

Prepare the wall for a screen????....over my freakin' dead **** that's gonna happen!!!

    Nothing really to prepare. The screens are easy to assemble with just a screwdriver. The matte white material simply snaps onto the frame. The brackets are mounted on the wall and the screen hangs on the mounts. Takes about 30-45 mins. You don't have to paint your screen wall or any of that if you don't want. That choice is up to you.

    If you're good at mudding, you can put on just the right amount that you wouldn't hardly need to sand. I, am not good at mudding.

    This is why my bathroom walls have been unfinished for 2 years.
    Ludicrous gibs!

    What I meant was that I don't want to prepare the wall as a screen. I did watch a video on assembling a fixed screen...now THAT I don' mind.

    I hear you on pre-painting prep work. When doing the drywall in my living room I actually had a very nice complete breakdown. I absolutely lost it, and it was the second time in my life that has happened. Lesson learned: PAY A PRO!

    I'll patch and do minor work, but if it takes more than 2 hours.... GAWD sanding is something I would rather do without! If going projector I'd personally go with a motorized screen I think. It would be nice to hide it when not needed.

    get the projector first. mount it via shelf or ceiling mount and THEN choose your screen. i was about to pay for a 125" screen but when my projector arrived i realized i could easily fit a 137". i've never read one instance where the owner wishes they went smaller.
