I took out the trusty old matt white emulsion and painted the screen section onto the wall. I then painted the rest of the wall matt black. Ceiling and side walls got the black treatment also.
Works a treat.

I challenge that $10 price! Smile

A gallon of paint around here costs between $30-40 (depending on the quality).

A smaller 1L can is about $12-14.

I don't think you'd be able to paint the wall and the screen for only $10 unless you already had the paint handy!

Smile

My first screen, like 5 apartments ago, was a window blind. It worked surprisingly well, although it was a bit too reflective and tended to curl up at the edges.
