Can't set you straight (don't think any need to) but one screen that
you missed--and very worthy of discussion--is a focussed silver
screen such as the Ektalite or TV projection screens, neither of which
is common, but both of which can, with persistance, be found. You're
not going to roll them up and stick them in the closet, but they're
impressive for stereo,  and tthey send a lot of light back to the 
Greater Ortho Area.
