advice on projectors and screens

.

I want to add video to my system for concert/music videos and know very little about it. I am looking for 2 channel for now so not really looking for audio advice, just video. I envision a ceiling mounted retractable screen of 80-100 inches and a projector. If you look at my system I see a screen hanging down in front of the speakers. I can make the room completely dark if needed.

I don't want to invest a lot of money but have no idea how much I need to get decent performance. My priority is sound quality which I already have but what will suffice for video?

How much do I need to spend on a projector and what are the specs that are most important for music videos?

Same question for screens.

Thanks.

Hey Larry, will do.

Good to hear you are still around. I just bought that Barry Manilow 2:00 am album, couple of bucks sealed on Amazon. haven't played it yet but I was surprised to see the lineup of jazz guys in the band. Looking forward to it.

I would still not go 20ft if at all possible....closer is always best and allows use of more lamps or room light for those who dont like a pitch black room.

Herman,
THAT is a really, really great album.
Mundell Lowe, Sarah Vaughn, Mel Tormé, Gerry Mulligan, Shelly Mann and others...my memory just quit.
To anyone who hasn't heard Paradise Café 2:00AM, by Barry--it's a real treat. I recently got a friend to buy it and he's listening to it every day.

Good listening,
Larry
