I'm thinking of getting a new screen but before I rushed for that eBay bargain of a used tripod job from the 70s I had a look around and this British supplier gives a good selection of the many types of options available.

Some of those look very expensive, depending on your circumstances can you not make one? Those Armchair Odeon tapes/dvd were full of very clever folk, that have made them for a small price in the UK.

Yes it seems that as Video/computer projectors have got cheaper screens, and unfortunately screen material, have gone up in price a lot.

Like Maurice and for many years I used an old roller blind with school board black painted around the edge for masking. If I wanted to get the side masking just right I made some boards covered in black, that could be hung either side of the screen.
