What kind (size) of screen will be best for this projector?

It depends entirely upon how far from the wall you want to mount your projector. If you search for projectorcentral dahtcom go to their Projection Calculator Pro and put in the model number PJD5533w. Be sure to change the Aspect Ration to 16:9 You will find that in a room with ambient light, you want to mount the projector a maximum of 14 feet 6 inches from the screen. This will give you a horizontal image of 127 inches. (62"x111"). If you get screen material from Carl's Place (here on Amazon) you can get most material up to 71"x126" for standard shipping rates. It will come rolled in a tube so that there are not creases. I bought the FlexiGray from him because my projector is in the Man Cave/Bar/ Casino where there is ambient light and I wanted enhanced contrast in a room that wasn't pitch black (very happy with the results). This projector will throw a much larger image (check the calculator) The result will be a loss of brightness, and a reduction in image quality. Also, you may find that you will have to settle for using a painted wall as your screen. This projector does not have much of a throw range, so you should calculate your screen size based on where you want to mount the projector, or base your projector location on your desired screen size. Hope this helps.

The projector has a throw ratio of .69-.83, meaning for a 100" screen the projector will need to be 69-83 inches away from the screen. I put mine as far back as I could so I wouldn't have to do too much keystone adjustment, since that distorts the image the more you use it.

The image will fill the 18 x 24 space. You just have to get the projector far enough away and focus it properly. It just takes some fooling around with until you get it the way you want it.

Hello, I have not used an outdoor screen, so I'm not sure what the main differences are in terms of size. But I have an 8-foot screen @ 16:9 ratio. The one I use is a typical pull-down/retractable screen like you might see in a classroom or conference room. I hope this helps! And btw, I absolutely love this projector :)

I use this projector on a 100" screen and it works well. But for 16' wide you will need better res. I also of have a Epson 3010e on a 200" screen and it's leaps and bounds a better.

Recommended image size is between 80 and 100 inches however it can project up to 150 inches

For 132" nothing less than 1920x1080. I also got the Brookstone pico projector. Its very small, so you need the room to be low light or darker. Because of its size it is extremely quiet and the best... Only $300!

I can't say for sure, but I would think that any projector could be used to display on this screen. It is rectangular in shape- might be the only problem if your projector displays in square format.

On the face of it, I would recommend a 32" screen, but you have NOT provided enough specific information about the frame and its profile to be sure of my answer.

I've used my projector with two different screen a 106" retractable screen from monoprice, and now a home made 145" screen using Seymour AV Center Stage UF fabric. The picture has looked great on both. Monoprice is great place to get cheap manufactured screens, or you can build your own out of fabric from Seymour AV or Carl's Place (I got my velvet masking material from them).

My screen is an 80" widescreen 16:9(measured on the diagonal). my projector is 9'10" away. It leaves about an inch all the way around the screen unused. If I put the projector on 4:3 ratio it's not large enough.

The largest screen I have projected on is a 10' x 20' white tarp hung on a baseball backstop for an outside movie night. Projected in HD 1080p. Image looked great. A 12' x 21' screen with the projector set back 37' in a dark room will still look good.

I really like my screen. Easy to mount easy to build. That projector is nice. I decided on the epson 5030 because it is LCD and not DLP. If you have DLP you will get a rainbow effect on fast action shots. Id also recommend this mount. It is the best out there hands down. No fiddling with screws and tightening your monitor into place. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000TXNS6G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I think this screen is like 90" diagonal so you'll want a projector that can project around that number so you don't have a lot of white space when watching something. Most projectors project from like 20"-80" and up so all you have to do is move the projector closer or further away from the screen to get the size you want! But just make sure the projector you buy can reach at least 80" diagonally otherwise the picture won't be as clear on the screen and there will be a lot of extra white space!

I own several screens. The spandex screen is a good stretch screen. As far as image it all depends on your projector. A good projector you can watch on a standard wall. Image always depends on projectors.

At 30-60" any screen would be fine. I would suggest you get a white matte screen for the best experience. Depending on the lighting at the 60" size you may have a little washout, but it would still be usable. Of course darker room the better.

300 inch is the size of the maximum screen as for the box size Christopher gave it. It is a great projector even better after you calibrate the color just right .works well on full lighting in a well lite room hope this helps my screen size btw is 180inch and i love it
