There are two basic types of rear screens: diffused and optical. 
A diffused screen has a surface, which spreads the light striking it. Purely diffused screens have 
a  gain  of  less  than  one.  The  main  advantage  of  the  diffused  screen  is  its  wide  viewing  angle, 
similar	 to	that	 of	a	flat	 screen	 for	front	 screen	 projection.	 This	type	 of	screen	 is	suitable	 when	a	
wide viewing angle is required but there is low ambient room lighting.

enough room to install your projector with a desired screen size and if your image will be of the 
right size for your screen.
You  can  quickly  estimate  the  throw  distance  by  taking  the  horizontal  width  of  the  screen  and 
multiplying it by the lens throw...
