Buying a screen is a bit more involved than You might think.
Lots of variables will narrow down the type... by whom and what size or construction (pull down, wall mount, fromt or rear PJ) and then the level is usually attached to your wallet.
Considerations such as light controled or some ambient lighting are in order too. Not too much info comes from here on the subject of projectors or screens... try the HT shack, or AV forum.

Premade, wall mounted screens come with any assortment of snap together, or bolt together frames. Some come with a velvet, or velvet-like wrap materials on them and some don't.
The Projector People usually can and will answer some questions you may have and point you to some options.
I did a good bit of research then went DIY on my screen.... 115 in. wall mounted. I'm using DLP PJ. it looks pretty good by all accounts.... before I closed off the room from ambient light and painted the room a darker color and changed the carpeting to a darker shade. Now I suspect it's gonna pop better. I bought the screen material at ebay for about $100. Some two by fours and braces at the adult toy store, HD, and for under $150 ... it'll do nicely...
in HT matching the screen to the room and PJ is important, but it'll surprise you how little it takes to provide a great show in the end.
go around and look at some of the ones out there first, read the threads on the HT sites, do some dcalling, and you'll be fine in no time.
Good luck, and have fun!
