front projector screen aspect ratio J. Fredrik Hesselvik 02-09-06

I'm installing a home theater with a Sony HD (native 16:9) front projector.

The obvious screen aspect ratio would be 16:9, however, what if I made a
screen that was 2.40:1 instead and used the projector zoom to fill the
whole screen? (The area behind the screen will be non-reflective black).
The setup will be used almost exclusively for watching DVD's.

Thanks, Fred
