What's that screen? It looks like it's framed? That would be so cool.
Yeah its a fixed projector screen made by Beamax. The advantage of a fixed screen is it is completely flat with no curling appearing by the edges. My old role up screen was terrible for it, and I ditched it for this reason. I have a TV in the living room, and only my projector is in this room. So no need for a screen that pulls up to make room for a TV.

Looks nice except for the black cord dangling from the projector. You could fish that through the wall or put a white wire mold over it.
Yeah that's on my list of things to do, its been bugging me too
What do you do during daylight hours about the light through the windows? I've got blackout drapes here and they work wonders (and since I'm in a bilevel, it also helps with heating/cooling by having them across the doorways when I'm using the room (room can be made pitch black during the day).
The role up blinds you see are black out blinds, but I found that some light still leaked around the edges and could sometimes drown out the image. So I bought some blackout curtain lining from ebay and made it the size of the window frames. I then added velcro strips to both the blackout lining and the window frames, and also some window suction cups to the corners of the fabric. This creates a curtain that bonds straight over the window and allows no light through the window. The photos you see previously was taken in the day and as you can see, no light can leak through. If you wish I can post images on how I made them.
