Can Anything Flat And White Be Used As A Projector Screen ?
I am thinking of buying a projector but I dont want to waste money on a screen, cant I just use something smooth, flat and white or is there something special about real projector screens ?

Yes you can use anything flat amp white as a screen.br br quotBUTquotbr WHY WOULD YOU?brbr There are special paints available at elctronic shops where they sell projectors.
