I just finished my home theater in my basement. I built the room specificaly as a theater. No windows and 1 door in the back. I added a lot of lighting just in case I wanted some ambient light. I bought an Optoma HD20. All the reviews I read about it sayed it was the best 1080 projector for the the money. It looks better than most flat panels I've seen, and its a freakin 100" screen! I will watch movies or play games on it almost daily, It doesnt wash out too bad even with a bit of light in the room. I love playing 360 on it. Very smooth, even during fast paced movies or games. As for a screen I did a ton of research on that before I spend hundreds on something that might not work so well. I found a site, (cant remember the name right now) where a guy did his own testing of all the screen paints and fabrics. And found that of the 25 or so materials he tested, within the top 5 was flat Bear Paint, from Home Depot. I was a little leary to try it, but thought, what the hell it'll cost me $10 to try and see what happens. I have to say, it looks amazing. I hand built a frame and wrapped it in velvet.
