Hi,
I have started finishing my basement a few weeks ago with the intent of creating a dedicated home theater. I have stud walls in place and I have got 85% of my electrical done. I plan to start the AV wiring soon.
I just got my projector in (HD20) and I and know where a bouts I need it mounted to get my desired screen size of approximately 100" diagonal.
I have been trying to plan ahead and have been looking at screens lately. My entire basement project has and will be DIY, so I have been looking at DIY screens. I am torn between doing a BOC with a simple frame and painting the drywall to be hung.
BOC: If I do a BOC screen I do not plan to paint the fabric. Simply stretch over frame and then put a boarder on it.
Paint: If I do a painted screen I plan to roll the paint directly on the drywall and then boarder it.
Which of these will give me the best looking screen? I haven't priced both out yet, going to guess similar cost for either. Both screens seem to be well with in my talents. I will have full control over light should that factor into any decisions.
Thanks
