I replaced my 10-year-old CRT projector with a Sony LCD HDTV model. After doing some research and finding out the high cost of a new screen, I pursued the idea of building my own. My first attempt proved to be better than excellent results with much ease in construction.... (Read More by clicking 'Read More...' below!)
I found a piece of 1/16”x 48” x 96” plastic waterproof wall panel at Lowe’s Home Improvement Store (cost about $13.50). It has a very smooth, low luster surface, lies perfectly fat and only weights about 10 to 15 lbs. Manufactured by Parkland Plastics, Inc.
I used a multiplier factor of 5.3 for the 16:9 ratio which gave me a screen size of 84.8” x 47.7” (97.29” diagonal) for which I only needed to cut about 11” off the 8 foot side. (A regular pair of scissors works fine)
Since I have a wood wall in my rec/theatre room, I tacked the plastic panel on the wall and trimmed it out using 2 ¼” door/window trim painted satin black. Total cost less than $25.00.
