Very nice. Do you have a ballpark figure on what it cost to put this together? I'm debating on a DIY screen like this or simply painting one on the wall.

Dingrr: Sorry for the delayed response, was out of town, total screen cost was about $140 the bulk of which was the 5X12 sheet of laminate, which was $97.71.

Thanks Cyn..... I'm very pleased with final product.

You guys rock! This is exactly the kind of screen I've been looking for!

Thanks for the great ideas, build photos, and screen shots!

Thanks, Joe.

I still have to figure out (And afford) my projector upgrade and anamorphic lens first.

Since building a screen is so inexpensive, I may just build it up and work backwards to the projector. But a big screen isn't as impressive if I can't really fill more than 86" of it!

I'll probably post a thread much like yours showing progress when I finally get to that point.

Thanks again for your thread!

Hey "phat03,

Great looking screen !
How did you mount it to the wall (sorry if I overlooked that info)?
Are you going to add masking for different movie AR's (aspect rations) ?
I have to build my screen & frame, thanks for sharing your build.

Thanks,

John
