[Fincave]

No need to apologise, if someone learns something or gleans some useful info was the purpose of my original post (ok, maybe I also wanted to show off my system a little!).

About the screen. Cannot remember the exact dimensions but roughly equates to a 110", viewing distance is about 4m (12ft). I made the screen using MDF (6mm), there is also a frame on the back of the MDF with two additional beams sort of evenly placed running from top to bottom, the idea being to keep the screen rigid and stop it from warping or bending. The wood used for the frame on the back was roughly 45mmX40mm, so fairly sturdy! The border was made using regular skirting board cut at 45 degree angles and painted black, it is about 42mm wide and in hindsight could have been a bit wider still. I spray painted the border as it should be matt black and spray was the best way to go. The screen itself is painted using latex paint with pigment added. I am using a Sanyo Z3 and so to help outwith contrast the screen is grey in colour. Hanging the screen on the wall was a bit tricky as it is fairly heavy, about 35kg. In the end I used L- shaped brackets that are screwed into the wall, think I used six in total, I put a dab of glue on the edge brackets just to make sure the screen does not come down. The screen is just lifted onto the brackets and was up for two weeks before I added the glue, it did not move at all in that time!

Hope this helps you. Give me a shout if you need more info, will do my best to help.
