It's hard to say. According to this wonderful list (P3D) it has
been mentioned that you can find them cheap, at pawn shops,
2nd hand stores, Salvation Army, etc. I thought yea sure, I'll
find one at my local little bitty 2nd hand shop near here. Sure
enough they had a nice 40" for 10 bucks which I bought.

Of course if your lucky enough to live near Dr.T, I think I 
remember he was giving them away to whoever would bother to
pick them up! Most people find the 40" screen to be on the small
side and usually gravitate toward the larger sizes (50" and up)
sooner or later. Personally I find the 40" to be adequate for
the rare occasions that I bother to set it up.

So bottom line is, for that price it'll probably still be 
there when you get your projector.

Ooops! Now yea tell me. ;-)
