No worries mate, well after his research he bought his screen from Oz Theatre Screens http://www.ozts.com.au/, they have a few options available but he went with the Majestic due to his projector having a cinema scope lens. The screens come with a felt border which apparently is good thing.
Offer is there if you want to have a squiz.

Yeah I haven't fully decided what ratio to go for on the screen, thinking 16:9 at the moment but may go wider for movie playback.

Sources hooked up to it will be Blu-Ray, digital TV and XBOX 360 - I just have to figure out how much I expect to use each one and what I want to compromise on... black bars on the top and bottom for cinemascope (if using a 16:9 screen), or, black bars on the sides for 16:9 material (if using a screen wider than 16:9)

The projector itself has anamorphic lens shift capabilities so it can adjust between 16:9 and cinemascope aspect material.

Yeah, fuzzy black felt border FTW! (illusion of better contrast)

Mine is an Infocus X10 - 1080p native resolution, HDMI etc. Bloody good picture and stays looking crisp and clear even when displayed on a bloody big screen.

I'm just waiting for a decent 3D projector to hit the mainstream at a reasonable price and I'll get one of those for sure.

As for my audio setup, well that's best left for another thread but I'm a big fan of SACD / DVD-A etc so if you know what they are then that should give you some indication....

Currently running B & W 704's but I am considering getting some of the new B & W 803 Diamonds, only problem is the drop in frequency response from 50khz down to 28khz. The only way to fix that would be to replace the super tweeters with those from the 704's (which kind of defeats the purpose) or better still finding some Sony X series speakers and using the super tweeters from them.

It's a pity DVD-A didn't really get much support, thankfully SACD titles are easily accessible and still being made.
