What screens should I be looking at/for to put on the wall for my projector? I'm trying to decide if I want to start using a projector in the basement as a full time TV, or keep using the 62 inch DLP. I would mount the projector on the ceiling and run the cabling down behind the wall to where my Receiver, HTPC, Xbox, etc is. I can hear people walking upstairs and wonder if kids are bouncing balls or running around a lot if that will make my ceiling shake enough to affect the image. My ceiling is finished and I am also wanting to know the correct way to mount the projector. I have a ceiling mount that came with it. Do I mount it directly to the ceiling with toggle bolts, or mount it to a small board that is mounted to the ceiling, or what is the best way?
Could a few people share some pictures of their setup, placement, mount, etc so I could see what works best? For reference, its just an X2 projector but does widescreen, 720p and 1080i, just like my dlp set does. My basement is long but relatively narrow, but I think displaying the image on a screen on the wall would look good and be great enough distance.
EDIT: I wanted to add that I know this is a very old dlp projector. I don't want to spend $500.00 just to find out I don't like watching a projector as much as my DLP TV, so I'm starting small and will work my way up if I like it.
