Projector Screen

[JeffD]

I'm thinking of buying my own projection screen for my classes. I was wondering if the ones with a tripod or the self standing screens would be better. The self standing screens seem to be about 15 lbs while the tripod screens seem to be about 70 lbs. Who has used which and what do you think of them?
By self standing I mean the kind that self supports from the floor and just rolls up.

The self supporting types are nice, especially when you may need to use a table to help elevate the screen above the floor. You also neen to think about the cost, as I am sure you spent more on the projector than you may have anticipated. Remember the screen is very important, as it makes a big difference in the projection, especially if you use a lot of pictures in your presentation.
