There is a lot of choices when it comes to buying a projection screen. This discussion shows how a complicated discussion can easily be simplified. Remember the top questions to always ask:

• Indoor or outdoor? This is important but often overlooked.
• What type: Portable, fixed-frame, manual or electric retractable?
• What aspect ratio (16:9, 4:3, 1:1, etc.)? Make sure it matches your projector.
• What size? This is important depending on the environment and viewer proximity.
• Do you need a white or specialty material?

Here are the links used in the discussion that are for some favorite UST projector-friendly screens:
