This review is from: Elite Screens Manual Pull Down Projection Screen, 1:1 Aspect Ratio-136in (Matte White)Screen is big, bulky and poorly packaged. The first time I received the screen, it was damaged during shipping. The second time, when I received the replacement, it also arrived damaged. This time I opted for a refund. Repacking and handling for return is difficult and annoying. Although the replacement shipment was prompt, the refund was not....

This review is from: Elite Screens Manual Pull Down Projection Screen, 1:1 Aspect Ratio-136in (Matte White)This screen is extremely huge. Nobody believed me at how big it would be until they saw and it is amazing. Only problem is that absolutely no documentation comes with it. It would be nice to have some recommendations for mounting, typical brackets used, etc. I rigged it custom via home depot parts. Also, there should be some tips on closing it, I was to the point of sending it back when I finally figured it out: (Yank down surprisingly hard and fast, then let go to allow close). Now I am very satisfied....

This review is from: Elite Screens Manual Pull Down Projection Screen, 1:1 Aspect Ratio-136in (Matte White)I bought this screen for Christmas 2007. It arrived in a damaged box, but the product failure was partly due to design. It appears to be packaged halfway well, and might survive the typical rough shipping practices of most carriers. However, the screen is essentially an 8-foot long spindle, supported at both ends in a plastic end cap. While the plastic end cap is probably sufficient for normal use as intended, it is not designed to withstand the rigors of transportation (which I do consider a design flaw). I think there were some styrofoam blocks inside the screen itself, which may have been intended to support the roll during shipping, but they were far to anemic to do the job.I got replacement end caps, but when I put the thing back together, it didn't work. The catch mechanism did not hold the screen at 5" increments, as it was supposed to (we've probably all seen this in grade school).The shipper is definitely partly to blame for this failure, because one end of the box was crushed, and there was a gaping hole in the middle, and a mark on the steel screen housing, indicating a heavy impact. The manufacturer is also partly to blame for the failure. They may or may not be to blame for the mechanism not working after I reassembled it, because I may have dislodged something. It appeared to be a very simple assembly, with a cylinder at each end that slips into the roll, so I'm pretty sure it's not something I did.I plan to hold the screen down with a weight, because I don't want to hassle with getting a different one. When it's down, it does the job.One final note: The surface is like an eggshell sheen, white painted surface. In a dark room, it is fine at a 15' distance with a 1000-lumen Mitsubishi HC3000U projector set on the low bulb setting. Our room is navy blue (very dark). During the day, it takes some getting used to, and a glass-beaded screen may be needed in light-colored rooms. Other projectors are brighter, and a glass-bead reflective screen may be too much (but the projectors usually have a contrast adjustment so it may not be an issue). All in all, I think it's a gamble to buy this screen, and I would be reluctant to buy another Elite brand screen, because (IMO) the design is inadequate)....
