Which screen for the BenQ V5000i?

As an ultra-short-throw projector, the BenQ V5000i fires light up at a steep angle. Pair it with a CLR (Fresnel) ALR screen sized to your throw — a standard ALR or matte-white screen will hotspot and wash out. In a room with daylight, the CLR screen is what makes the picture watchable.
