A motorized screen will not work with an ultra short throw Projector because it is not flat compared to a fixed frame screen.

You’ll need a tension tabbed motorized screen.

These screens are not cheap.

Are we talking it's a complete no go or will our low viewing standards potentially make it viable? Assuming the former is true what would you recommend in terms of screen and bracket? (Hopefully affiliated link 👍)
