any of you goobers into home cinema?
I need a new ceiling retractable projection screen around 140" but it must be 16:10 and I'm overwhelmed by all the different options. Most of which seem like marketing bullshit.

I abandoned the screen, used plasterboard painted with projector paint and it works a treat, exactly the same reflective quality as all the screens I've owned. its marketing bullshit, correct

that's exactly what I've used up to this point, but due to renovations I need a screen that can retract and while I'm at it I would like to upgrade from 120" (max dimension of the wall between windows) to 140" (max dimension for given ceiling height)

Paint it grey and you'll get better contrast

do what >>107064640 says
if you aren't completely useless you can also sand down the wall a bit (you can borrow a wall sander for a few € per day) and then there are recipes for special DIY mixtures if you are too cheap to buy the premade projector paint mix (I am)

genuinely curious: why would you want to watch stuff as a projection instead of on a large display? Is it the fact that the projection surface only temporarily takes up space? (but it's much more of a hassle to set up)
I don't believe it's picture quality (good beamers cost a fortune and still have shit resolution)

Is it just the same snake oil like audiophile shit?
I don't get it

or is it about people desperately trying to recreate the nostalgic experience of going to the cinema without some people behaving like shit and talking loudly?
