Home Projection System
We’re looking to put a ceiling mounted screen (that can be rolled/raised up and ceiling mounted projector in. Does anyone have any experience doing this and with which companies and products? It’s just a thought we had and may be unaffordable, but wanted to try it out. Thanks!

If you’re thinking about it, I would go ahead and do it.
It can be as cheap or cheaper than a 52 inch lcd or drastically more expensive depending on how you go. I’ve recently seen 1080p projectors for under $1000 and the screens are actually not all that expensive… maybe $400 for a good one that goes up and down. Mostly, the replacement projector bulbs are what’s going to be a big expense going forward, so check out the prices before you buy and make sure that you get a projector with high enough lumens for the room/environment that you want to watch in.
A great resource is http://www.avsforum.com for info on projectors and screens and I would check the prices at b&h, amazon, newegg, abe’s of maine, best buy and projector people before you buy.
