Re: What Screen to use??????


I also have a Panny AE-900U and I use a 106" Optoma Graywolf pulldown screen. I like it for many reasons, 1) I got it for a good price. 2) It has pretty good light rejection and 3) the retroreflective nature takes out the effects from small waves.

As stated previously all pull down screen will develop waves. How much they bother you depends on your setup and your sensitivity. Personally, once I detect them I can't stop seeing them!

With this screen some people complain about little twinkling spots in bright white. I don't really see it most of the time and when I do I don't think it is any worse then bright spots I see in screens at this same price point.

One tip is to take great care for light control. Even with a good projector and screen I get bothered by ambient light. This effect is worse the larger the screen - 106" is about the largest I'd do with the Panny AE900U in ideal conditions. You may want to consider a smaller screen. I have a friend with a similar setup to yours except he uses a Graywolf II in a 94" screen and it is much less light sensitive then my larger screen.
