I bought some loose screen material which is SO reflective it's crazy. It's a bit like my ProViz dog walking cap I wear at night. So you end up with a SUPER bright hot spot depending where you sit.

What is good; not expensive, and it's really light & so I just stick it up with a few velcro dots. It's not a permanent setup just for the occasional movie with the kids.

Is there a better material I should try? Less reflective, cheap enough & light enough ...

Sorry, can’t recommend a pop up fabric screen but ‘pre massive tv’ in cinema room I used a full size sheet (2.44 x 1.22) of mdf painted off white/silver plus Matt black painted edge with a canon HD projector. Worked a treat, brilliant in fact and cost about £40 in materials. You could put clips/hooks up and go down sheet material route but would need somewhere to store it when not in use.

None of the fabric type screens are particularly expensive.

Best things to do is look on Amazon and read the reviews. Here's an example:

Good thing with Amazon is that it's easy to return if you don't like it.
