Unless you have white walls in your home, the white surface of a projector screen ensures a better view of the movie. What kind of screen projectors are there, you may ask?
Let’s start with the traditional portable stand up projector screen. Most of us know it from the old school (it was used for school presentations). This model is probably useful if you have enough space.

Hi Deborah,
I am glad it was helpful to you and you hope you will think about having a movie experience at home.
Great list. Out of the projection screens listed, is there one you’d recommend personally over the others? Thanks!
Hi Keiron,
Thanks for taking some time to read my article.
Yes, I do have one I liked a lot the Hanging Projector Screen. I like it because of its versatility (can be used indoors and outdoors) and I don’t need a great space to store it (just put in in the bag and into the cupboard).
You make a really good point that the visuals will be better when using a projector screen. We’ve all gotten so used to HD and ultra HD and plasma, that this is a real consideration. I doubt any wall could compete with a projector screen in terms of smoothness and reflectiveness. More thoughts for my home theater project…thanks!
