If you are setting up a movie theater or thinking about building your own movie theater or maybe curious about how much a movie theater screen costs, then this article will give you some insight into the sizes and costs of movie theater screens.

To begin with, movie theater screens are relatively cheap and can also be homemade as they are made of mostly made of canvas, pvc and  polyester fabric.

Theater projector screen prices are determined by the material that it’s made off, it’s size and also it’s aspect ratio.

Aspect ratio is simply the ratio of length and height of the theater projector screen, it mostly comes in aspect ratios of 4:3 and 16:9 and if your are buying a projector screen for the purpose of using it as a theater screen, then use a 16:9 screen.

16:9 is the aspect ratios that will fit movies and avoid 4:3 screens as their height is not enough to be used as theater screens (the pictures won’t fit the screen).

4:3 screens are mostly for Microsoft PowerPoint presentations.

Let’s do a few comparison of different types of projector theater screens and it’s cost.

So there you have it, different screen sizes and aspect ratio (mostly 16:9), I would also recommend 16:9 screens for theaters as said from above.

These screens are highly optimized to reflect light so that you get maximum quality pictures in your home cinemas.
