Planning for your front projection screen
Consider the variables to determine the correct screen size, placement and optical qualities

Size	For legibility, we suggest this rule: L = the distance from the projection screen to the back row of seats. The projection screen height should equal or exceed L÷ 6 in all situations. For complex graphics, as in a command and control centre, the projection screen height may need to be as great as L ÷ 2.
Placement	The projection screen should be high enough so that all seats have an unobstructed view, but the screen centre should be no more than 20° above the eye level of any viewer. In a room with a level floor, the bottom of the projection screen should be 36" to 48" above the floor.
Audience	Ideally, all viewers should be seated within 30° of the projection axis, and never more than 45° off axis.
Lighting	Draper front projection screens are designed for use in lighted rooms. However, optical qualities will be enhanced of the lighting is controlled so that no direct light or reflected light strikes the screen.
Tensioning	Tab Tensioned - Draper's Tab Tensioning System for vinyl surfaces. These screen surfaces consist of a reflective vinyl with no textile backing and are tensioned for sufficient flatness to perform properly. The surface is stretched flat, resulting in better picture quality. Non-Tensioned - sometimes referred to as free hanging or conventional. The reflective surface is laminated to a woven textile base. The screen surface hangs suitably flat because of the stability of the material and the weight of the bottom dowel.
