are installing a projector temporarily or permanently you should take the following into

Front Screen Installations
In front-screen installations, the projector and audience are positioned in front of the
screen, which can be flat or curved.
Flat screens are recommended with this projector. They offer a gain of about 1 with
a viewing angle just less than 180°. This type of screen reflects incident light equally
in all directions so the audience can see the display from various angles.
Curved screens have a gain greater than 1 with a viewing angle much less than 180°.
This type of screen does not reflect incident light equally in all directions; instead,
it is concentrated in a viewing cone. The audience sitting within the viewing cone
area sees a brighter image than those sitting just outside this area. Runco generally
does not recommend use of curved screens with the Video Xtreme series, due to
excessive brightness and uncorrectable geometrical distortion.
