If I can get them from a reliable source I'll let you know!!!!!

Did you finalized what size screen you want? Part of me wants to DIY the screen just to get an idea of it. On the other hand I know I really liked what I've seen and read about the Falcon Screens.

Decisions, Decisions......It looks like I'm leaning towards the Falcon Screen!!!

Totally the same place. Did your friend ever get them?! A bunch of Yelp reviews basically said that most of the stuff is back-ordered and they get a hold of you after the transaction and try to bait you in to a different product that is in stock after you paid. I was immediately like "wtf, I'm not sure I'm ready to put up with that level of bull for this." I don't mind waiting for something to ship if its a good deal, but I want to know I'm getting what I ordered. Woofersetc.com has them but is by no means cheap. Now I read rumors that it may be discontinued at some point soon, that would be a major bummer unless they come out with a MKIII version.

I've got the screen size narrowed down to either the 2.35:1 130 inch diagonal or 140 inch diagonal version. My wall can handle the 140 inch in terms of size really no problem... I could even go balls out and squeeze a 150 inch one on that wall. But even with the 140 inch size I worry I'm pushing the light output of my projector to its limits using the zoom method. I wish I knew some real world gain numbers for the material. I know the guys on AVS are claiming its as bright as CenterStage XD, and if that's the case I may push it with the 140. It's not like I'm planning on doing any 3D in the near future.
