ok guys, I have an Epson 8350 right now and am using a 100 inch Do-able board screen. It was great as a "set it and forget it screen" when I first started but I'd like to go bigger.

Hi all...read what I can on this and really have only one remain concern before committing: How level does it really need to be? (If it matters, I am looking at a 100+" diagonal screen in a 21x14 room.) The drywall I am hanging is 5/8ths (the heavy-duty stuff) and I've got a very good finisher...

Hey guys, One more question about room treatments and my goo screen. I am going to effectively "kill" the front wall with a combination of OC703 pieces liquid nailed to fir strips so they don't destroy the drywall. What about the actual goo screen I will be painting on? How is it possible...
