I just hung a brand new Da-Lite 52" by 90" Matte White screen behind the curtains on my front window. It allows me academy format images 4 feet tall and 'scope images over 7 feet wide. Since in the retracted position it's hidden, setting up and taking down are very easy. (It's always there.)
Looks cool unfurled too, I'll have to say being framed by my wife's curtains makes it seem quite theatrical! (At last!, a reason for curtains!)
I find with a 100W projector, the images are bright and sharp, but definitely better in a really dark room.
I considered a beaded screen, but the shape of my living room puts my audience at angles that would be dimmer than they are with the matte screen.
I graduated from a 4 foot square tripod, and the difference in image size is awesome! I've gone through most of my film collection and in many cases it's like seeing them for the first time!
