Looking to purchase a projection screen, preferably a tripod screen. I do have a budget of $50 to $120. The screen is just to play movies so I'd like your input on what you think is a good one to purchase or what i should look for in a screen
Projection Screens

Don't think you are going to be able to buiy one (maybe a tiny one) for that, but you can build a pretty big one for that price. I built a 4' X 9' for under $100.
For $100 I got my Panaview.
It's a 14' diagonal screen (unsure of actual width - 8 or 9, maybe?), attaches to the ceiling and rolls up into itself when not in use. Almost unnoticeable, when rolled up. Aside from the length it's extremely portable if it needs to be moved, as it has hangar-hooks on top if it's gonna get moved around a lot. (It also has flush mounting holes on top & behind, for permanent mounting)
I really can't think of anything clever to watch out for, for screens.
Since the screens are relatively cheap, I suspect you'd be better off worrying more about the actual projection system itself. (By the way - Optoma projectors have the worst repair department ever. Avoid Optoma like the plague.)
What kind of projection you doing?
