Wall and Projection Screen Recommendations

To optimize viewing of MovieMate images on a wall in your home or on an optional projection screen, follow the recommendations in this section.

Viewing on a Wall

You can easily view MovieMate’s high quality images on any flat white wall in your home. There is no cost or setup involved, and you can project and resize the image up to any size that fits on your wall. To enhance the image quality even further, you may want to paint the wall with projection paint that is specially designed for optimum reflectivity and contrast in your viewing environment.

Viewing on a Projection Screen

If you don’t have a suitable wall in your home or want a professional quality viewing experience, you can use a projection screen. These screens have optical coatings with special reflective properties that enhance brightness, contrast, and sharpness as well as providing a frame around the image.

Projection screens are available in many shapes, sizes, mounting styles, colors, and surface qualities, as described below.

Considering Screen Shape and Size

In a home theater setting—for watching DVD movies, HDTV broadcasts, or other widescreen content—the best screen shape ratio is 16:9, where the width is almost twice the height. Most DVD movies and HDTV broadcasts will fill the screen vertically and horizontally for maximum impact. The most popular sizes are from 45 to 100 inches diagonal.
