What do you guys think of the Zero Edge, edge free, or Frameless type of screens?

They look cool, but for myself, I wouldn't want one. They are more difficult to align with the projector, overscan if needed is a problem too. However, for a projector being used as a big TV, they would be cool - in a media room set up I suppose. Just maybe not in a theater, which is where I use my projector.

I started building my screen. I decided to go frameless. Hopefully I'll have it done this weekend along with hanging my projector.

For a 16:9 screen I think it looks good. You just need to take your time setting up your projector carefully. For a scope screen, especially if using lens memory, it would not be my cup of tea.

It would be good with the new Epson LS100 short throw laser projector for HDTV.
