![]() ![]() In other words, a 150" 2.35 screen is just as tall as a 120" 16:9 screen, and it's that height that has a big influence on how big you perceive that screen to be, if that makes sense. I don't mind though, because a large wide screen is comfortable to view. So, to answer your question, I do have to rezoom my image using the lens memory each time I switch between 2:35 content and 16:9 content. If you watch 50% movies and 50% sports and TV, it might make sense to go 16:9. (to make matters worse, Netflix is putting out content in a 2:1 ratio.) I mainly watch movies, so I prefer a 2:35 screen. With a 2:35 screen, you will have black bars on the left and right of the screen when you are watching 16:9 content which includes sports and TV. With a 16:9 screen you don't have to change the lens zoom, but you will have black bars on the top and bottom of most movies. This is never perfect though, as projectors have a way of drifting a little bit over time. ![]() It also has lens memory, so once it's set it will readjust to a previous setting with the touch of a button. The Epson 5050 has a motorized lens, so you can control screen focus, shift and zoom with the remote. The Stewart Studiotek 130 and 100 are what I would consider for a dedicated room. That screen is one of the industry standards. Look at the material, uniformity, bright spots, and relative gain. Get samples from all three and compare them. You can get samples from Silver Ticket, Stewart (both the cima and studiotek options), and Screen Innovations. I would recommend getting screen samples before you buy a screen. Are you going to be happy throwing your Epson 5050UB on a Silver Ticket screen? I think it is very likely you are going to be completely satisfied. If you were buying a $10k projector I would tell you to pair that with the best screen you could. Does it make sense to spend half the cost of the projector on a screen? In my opinion it does not. As with all things you have to evaluate your budget, what you are trying to do, and if the cost makes sense. ![]() That is especially true if your projector has really fine detail. I'm not going to tell you that because I've seen the difference and there certainly is one. Some people here are going to tell you there won't be a difference and don't spend a lot on a screen. ![]()
