My (on the cheap) home theater has consisted of an old LCD projector, a Costco surround sound system and a blank wall in the living room for about a year. I got the projector free when a local business closed up.
I have just taken some pictures off of the wall and shown movies on the wall. It worked pretty well.
Last week I found an old movie screen at a garage sale. It is the kind that rolls down. I just screwed a couple of hooks into the attic joists.
Wow! Big difference! The picture is great and looks much brighter. Instead of messing around I would suggest just look for an old movie screen. If you wanted to you could even cut the screen material to size and mount it in your own frame.
"I'm a college student looking for a new laptop, but almost all of my media I receive digitally. I'm looking for a laptop, not a netbook, without an optical drive, and budget sensitive. The optical drive will just be a waste of space, when I can have thinner laptop. What's out there?"
