BenQ3050 Projector - need a screen

OK, I finally found a projector that will work in my room.  The BenQ3050 looks like it will fit the bill and project a 120" picture from 10 feet away.

 

Now I need a screen. 

 

Anyone using an elite screen spectrum?

The elite VMax2 is supposed to be better.  Is it worth the extra $150?

maybe check over at AVS forum. personally I don't know much about Elite but see the name a lot over there.   would think you would want a tab- tensioned motorized to keep the screen tight and without wrinkles and stuff. Personally I own a fixed stewart screen.  I've been very happy with it.

I bought mine thru Visual Apex. It's a 120" electric drop down and came with a wireless trigger that plugs into the projector, wall and ceiling brackets. It was branded under the Visual Apex name but I think it's manufactured by Elite. Has worked great and their customer support is great to work with. Talked to a tech live a few times and he helped with tension adjustments.

So are you saying to go with the Elite screen on the link? 

 

The Visual Apex screens are non-motorized.

With short throw projectors, it’s very important to have a flat screen.  An untensioned pull down screen with ripples will be out of focus/soft in certain areas.  

 

I know, I am stuck.  I was looking at the 2050ST and then found the 3050 which did not have the "st" designation so I figured it was not a short throw model.
