A 120" Reversa screen will run you £1675 ($2978), and they can make them up to 284" if you want. (I had to put British prices because that's the first link I found, I've only ever bought smaller screens from my local plastics supply shop)

We've used smaller versions of the plastic in the Reversa screen for daytime rear-projection displays, and the image is amazing. If I could find enough room to put a projector behind one at home, I'd have the sweetest home cinema ever. I swear it looks better than HDTV (if your projector is good enough).]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/23/claro-tv-102-inch-glass-screen-45-000-and-up/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/23/claro-tv-102-inch-glass-screen-45-000-and-up/<]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/23/claro-tv-102-inch-glass-screen-45-000-and-up/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/23/claro-tv-102-inch-glass-screen-45-000-and-up/
This would be apples vs oranges...]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/23/claro-tv-102-inch-glass-screen-45-000-and-up/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/23/claro-tv-102-inch-glass-screen-45-000-and-up/
I'm fairly sure from what I can read about the Claro TV that it is also a rear projection system. From the first Gizmag article:

"In a standard instillation (sic) the projector sits on the floor about 5 feet behind the screen, so while the bulkiness of rear projection screens has literally vanished, it actually occupies a greater amount of space."

Your link goes to an article on their Holographic model -- Definitely a rear projection screen. This new product seems to be front projection -- According to the Claro site (follow the link from above...), they are calling this product a "Wall mount screen" which would lead me to believe that it would work on a regular wall. It would be a bit decptive to call it a "wall mount screen" if you need to cut a huge hole in the wall so the image can be projected on the back.

(I'm not trying to be argumentative, here -- I'm just trying to figure out the huge price differential you pointed out)]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/23/claro-tv-102-inch-glass-screen-45-000-and-up/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/23/claro-tv-102-inch-glass-screen-45-000-and-up/

No worries - I didn't think we were arguing, either. I'm trying to figure this out as well. There must be SOME reason to spend $45k instead of $3k, I just don't see enough info on the Claro TV to understand.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/23/claro-tv-102-inch-glass-screen-45-000-and-up/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/23/claro-tv-102-inch-glass-screen-45-000-and-up/
Yes - More dollars than neurons. A condition I hope to have, someday ;-) ...Providing it's due to an excess on the $ side...

I also wonder how much this alternative screen is:
