look at the screens that pull up or roll up from the floor not down from a wall or ceiling. I doubt an easel type screen will be satisfacory. That the screen be at the same distance from the projector at each setup and parallel to the projector is critical for uniform picture size and sharpness, and this is all but impossible to do w/o a great deal of work each time you set up with an easel screen. An easel screen will give you odd and difficukt to correct keystoning not to mention areas that are not as sharp as other areas of the picture.

A fixed frame screen or painted wall really works the best. You could mount a roll down screen on the ceiling directly in front of your 42 inch TV, too.
