Has anyone had experience with using Screen Goo? I need a screen to use with the new Sony Pearl front projector and was wondering if this is a viable alternative to a Stewart or some other $2K expenditure.thx. in advance..

Over the years I have sold and installed 1000's of screens. Make sure your surface is flat and paint should be fine. With the brightness and resolution of today's projectors expensive screen surfaces are not really needed. I am amazed at the emphasis some sales people will place on a specific screen surface. I have seen Screen-Goo and it makes a good projection surface.
Hope this helps,

you should find lots of info at this link: especially the diy screen sectionhttp://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=30&f=23
I dug deep in to the info on the diy screen forum at AVS. After several experiments I ended up with a 93" DIY screen, made of Home Depot paint products, that I'm very happy with:Behr Ultra Pure White, followed by a thin coat of Behr White Opal Pearlescent and a final coat of Behr Clear Matte water base polyurethane. This is applied over the white finish masonite they sell at Home Depot. I trimmed the edges with 1 x 3 covered with black velvet from JoAnn Fabrics.
Do look at the video on applying Screen Goo. The very careful, methodical application demonstrated there is critical for a even coat and it works well with the Behr paint too.
FWIW I use the screen with an Infocus SP4805 proj and, at the moment, a Toshiba SD-4990 player. I think the sp4805 is a steal for the (refurb) price, however the Toshiba is nice only when it feels like working (freezes or refuses to load 50% of the time). My room is a dedicated HT and very dark - black ceiling and front wall, gray sueded finish side and rear walls, and black out panels under black drapes on the windows. I find that the contrast and saturation in my HT is quite a bit better than at the movie theater that is a couple blocks down the street.
