I created my own 2.35:1 screen, but there was an issue that I had in the projector was native 16:9, so in order to get the image to fit the screen completely when the movie was 2.35:1, and 16:9 or 4:3 material would overlap the screen and there were no settings on the projector to fix this issue. The only option was to table mount the projector and move it forward about 3' to get the 16:9 image to fit the screen perfectly. After years of this it got very annoying and I dumped it a made myself 2 16:9 screens. One for my bedroom and one for my family family room. And boy am I glad I did. It is suprising how many films are still made in 16:9. Now my projector has a menu option so you can make 2.35:1 fit the entire screen, but at a loss of some of the image of course, but generally speaking it's hard to tell what your missing. As far as 16:9 Native projectors go using a 16:9 screen is probably best because either you would only be watching 3.35:1 films on it or you would be going nuts trying to mess with aspect ratio settings, and many projectors don't have a 2.35:1 mode. My projector does but it didm nothing to make the 16:9 material fit the entire screen, and thereby placing black bars to the right and left of the image rather than the overlapping issue.
