Projector screens are used to project data and video. Screens can be made of material such as the conventional cloth materials like bedsheets, tarp and synthetic material. For informal occasions such as outdoor residential movies, the former are used. For formal occasions and also for movie shows for large gatherings, synthetic white material is used. Sometimes, even walls are used as projector screens.
Projector screens come in various sizes. The screen size depends upon the lens of the projector. For short throw lenses, i.e. the lens that produces the largest image in the shortest distance, big screens may be chosen. This is ideal in a small room gathering. For long throw lens, i.e. the lens that produces small image from large distances, small screens may be chosen. This is ideal for projections from a booth or stall.
Projector screens are measured by the diagonal distance of the image needed. Alternatively, screens can be chosen according to the distance of the projector from the screen. The width of the screen is half the length of the projector from the screen; i.e. if the distance is 16 feet, then the width of the screen is 8 feet.
The screens come as accessories and the rental rate start from $30. Almost all of the projector rental companies have stocks of screens.
The competition to the screen rental comes in the form of residential as hoc screens such as bed sheets and tarp. Bed sheets with a mix of colors are hung to give better picture. Outdoor projector screens are in demand during summer when one would prefer to have outdoor parties. For conferences and meetings, sometimes flat panel displays and plasma screens replace the conventional screens.
