Q & A Session with Co-Founder and Lead Installer Mike Widerman of Toronto Home Theater

Using a proper projection screen is essential for having an accurate and crisp picture. Sometimes people have a tendency to want to just project the image on a flat surface or say, "I'll just paint the wall." For the small amount of overall cost that the screen adds to the project, you're better off to do it right. There is no point in having a high grade projector projecting a high grade image onto a low grade surface. One of the most important factors with a projection system is to have a perfectly flat surface to display the image on. With a fixed frame screen, that fabric is perfectly flat. With an electric or a drop down screen, the fabric has a tendency to have small imperfections or waves in it that might not look like much, but when you're displaying the image on that screen, it's noticeable. Sometimes they're a necessity, but my recommendation for a professional home theater is to do a fixed frame screen.
