Excellent mention of Screen Research on Audio Video Revolution : see extract below.

Set-up
This past holiday season, I bought a new house and immediately began the ever-stressful process of renovating it. At the heart of my reno is my new
state-of-the-art dedicated home theater. While construction has been anything but smooth, due mainly in part to the truly incompetent national chain
Empire Today, which I hired to do my flooring, the ordeal is nearing its end, giving me time to spend with my new video projector.

In the past, I've been a bigger is better sort of guy when it came to screens. However, after spending some time with Kevin Miller, I've changed my tune a bit.
In reality, your projector is only as good as your screen and, if you go too large, you won't be getting all of the performance you paid for. So, with Kevin's guidance,
I settled on a 92-inch diagonal screen from Screen Research.

Screen Research , for those of you who may not know, is a Parisian company specializing in THX and ISF-certified, acoustically transparent projection screens.
Acoustically transparent screens are nothing new. However, Screen Research's take on them is a bit different in that they use a proprietary woven technique
and material unlike the competition's micro-perforated designs .

The layout of my room was going to necessitate my center speaker being installed in-wall and behind the screen and their system fit my needs for picture quality
and sonic transparency amazingly well.

I mounted the Sony Pearl about 12 feet back from my screen, using a universal ceiling mount from Sanus. The Sony Pearl has a pretty generous vertical lens shift,
which allows it to be mounted fairly close to the ceiling without having to use a great deal of keystoning to correct for the angle, although it has zero horizontal
lens shift. The Pearl 's lack of horizontal lens shift isn't a deal-breaker here, but it does mean you have to pay attention to insure that the Sony's lens falls dead
center on your screen.
