This review is from: Elite Screens Manual Pull Down Projection Screen, 16:9 Aspect Ratio-106in (Matte White)This is a good choice for an inexpensive manual gray screen. I paired it with a 720p LCD projector to enhance the perceived contrast. The picture looks great - though this is my first screen and I have no basis of comparison. The whites are acceptably white and the blacks are improved by the gray screen surface.Negatives: The metal case came out of the box with a dent and several scratches on it. This did not affect the screen's performance, and it is not too noticeable from a distance. Also, the screen does curl a bit on the left and right edges, but this is not a distraction for me. All in all, I consider this screen a good deal for the price....

This review is from: Elite Screens Manual Pull Down Projection Screen, 16:9 Aspect Ratio-106in (Matte White)I had a dedicated theater room with a fixed screen that I needed to make more toddler friendly. I came to the tough decision of turning the dedicated theater room into a general media room. I had to get rid of the fixed screen and get a pull up screen so I can place a tv behind it to watch. Initially, I was scared off from manual screens by all the talk of waves in the screens. Some had even mentioned that the screens were wavy the instant they put it up. I decided to take a chance and purchase this to see how bad it was.I installed it last night, and I'm happy to report that there were no waves at all. The screen was perfect. I cant speak for its longevity, but I hope it remains this way. I was also concerned about going from my fixed screen, which has a 1.3 gain, to this one which is 1.1 gain. Again, I'm happy to report that it made no difference and the picture looked just as good, if not better, than the screen I was using. The screen was very easy to install, but I do have to give a couple of negative remarks. First, it doesnt come with parts to hang the screen on the ceiling. This was a little annoying to find out. You get excited and want to hang it up quickly, only to find out you need to run to home depot to buy a chain or hook to hang from the ceiling. Even with wall mounting, you still need to go out and purchase screws. Nothing major, but very annoying. The second thing is the screen does have an odor to it. Its nothing that will make you sick, but it is there. I'm hoping it doesnt last long.All in all, I was very surprised and pleased with the screen. For the cost, you cant beat it. My fixed screen, which I made myself, cost me almost as much as this one did.UPDATE:Well, it didnt take long to start developing waves. I had pretty much left the screen down and it was fine. Once I started to retract it and leave it retracted, i noticed waves starting to develop. Was hoping it would take longer than a couple of weeks for this to happen.......

This review is from: Elite Screens Manual Pull Down Projection Screen, 16:9 Aspect Ratio-106in (Matte White)I don't have very much experience with projection screens, as this is the first one I've ever owned. But as far as I can tell, it's a great screen. The resistance when extending it is pretty good, I guess, since I can get it to stop just about anywhere. Video and photos look fantastic, but again I don't have much to compare it to.Installation was very easy. Two screws in the wall, hopefully level and lined up well. I climbed on a stool with a pencil and a screwdriver (drink) and a screwdriver (tool) and was able to get the damn thing hung all on my own. I only spilled a little bit, and even that was just on my sleeve so I was still able to drink it. Not too shabby.Go ahead and get yourself one. It's a well-built screen (I think) and the price is great. So why not, right?...
