5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect screen, February 22, 2006

this screen came in a long box, ready to be opened and installed on the wall. It is easy to use and does exactly as the discription said it would. One thing I wasn't sure of when I ordered it. It comes with two screw holes in the frame itself so it can be mounted flush with the wall, or you can use a mounting bracket to mount it away from the wall. Either way, it works wonderful and gives a perfect place to show movies.

I'd held off from getting a projector screen for a long time due to the cost. When this one came up on Amazon I thought there must be something wrong with it, but after some research it was actually a pretty respectable model. It arrived promptly and in perfect. A few things to know...

- This version is meant to be mounted on a wall or ceiling, it is not freestanding. I was looking for the former, so I was totally satisfied.
- It's pretty light. Although I would anchor it into ceiling/wall studs, weight bearing drywall bolts should easily support its weight.
- This product does not include a mounting kit, which is clearly stated. Mounting kits are widely available however, or if you're handy you can mount it yourself depending on your wall/ceiling.
- Screen retraction is manual and can be a little stubborn if you are unfamiliar with projector screens. I assure you it will retract fully and easily once you get the motion down.
- The back is black and very opaque. This is great for preventing light "bleed through" but is not suitable if you intend to use the screen for rear projection.

I mounted my screen on removable ceiling brackets, but it looks so good that I rarely take it down. In the future, I may build a free-standing frame so I can use it outside on occasion. Summer movies on the roof-top anyone? :-)

We were tired of projecting onto a wall for our home theater and looked around for an economical screen. I'm not the greatest with tools and was a little concerned about mounting a screen on drywall. But given the price I said what the heck and took a chance... and I am glad I did. The screen weighs about 12 pounds, and though it does not come with mounting hardware it is easy to find drywall anchors that can easily support this weight (I went for 50 lb anchors that cost $2 for a pack of 4). I didn't rush and took my time measuring and positioning the screen before installing the wall anchors. I took about 19.5 minutes for this, but once that was done installing the wall anchors and mounting the screen took maybe 2 minutes (and I got it right the first time!). It is a BIG improvement over the flat white paint wall. I'm using it to project 60" x 45" (for 4:3) and 60" x 34" (for 16:9) with room to spare. No issues with the manual pull down/pull it, just take your time and you will not run into any problems. I am VERY satisfied with this purchase, I just wish I hadn't waited so long before purchasing - at least the price fell a few bucks while I did!
