“Looking for a above average screen to pair with this projector. In reviewing most new screens looks like they are built for short throw projectors. Can I use one that is listed as a short throw for this projector. Or any good recommendation.”

This projector will not work with a (UST) Ultra Short Throw screen. UST (ultra-short-throw) screens are designed to reject light straight on and only accept light from the bottom. A UST projector sits about 2 feet from the screen-bottom (some can be ceiling mounted upside-down). Then there are "Short Throw" projectors that point sit about 6-10 ft away from the screen but point directly at at the screen. The Sony XW5000 is a standard throw projector which works best with a screen with gain of up to zero to 1.3 . This projector does not need a high gain screen or a grey screen. #1. Decide do you need a fixed screen or a pull-down screen or motorized dropdown. If you want a screen that drops down, you want a tensioned screen. Otherwise there will be some ripples in the screen. #2. How much are you willing to spend. Plan to spending $400 to $1000 and more if you want motorized. #3. Select a screen with minimal gain and standard throw and the screen at least needs to be rated for HD but should state 4K. This matters due to texture. You want the very smooth surface. You do not want a woven fabric screen. This is a typical screen that would work with this projector. Model:NS-SCR100FIX19W SKU:6416551 I recommend you ask questions at Best Buy since the above screen specs do not clearly state gain factor. This screen is better and has a gain of 1:1 Model:AR100WH2 SKU:3980141
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I recently purchased the projector you were talking about, and we combined it with this screen: Screen Innovations 5 Series Fixed - 106" The screen works great in all lighting conditions. The screen is about 15 feet from the projector which is mounted on the ceiling.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I purchased that “Elite” 130” screen to go with my projector, in building my home theater. The pairing is amazing, due to the quality and power of the projector. I think that you should start with the “Elite” brand, and go from there.
