RadioShack also sells an inexpensive 55-inch-diagonal screen for $99, which should provide a noticeably better picture than a wall would.
But if you want a one-box system that you can tote around and set up easily, then the RadioShack Cinego D-1000 might be for you--especially since it's a couple hundred bucks less than competing DVD player/projectors, such as the HP ep9010 and the Optoma MovieTime DV10.
