from 982 reviewsAdmittedly, initially we bought a much cheaper screen to keep the "going in" costs of using a video projector down. After 15-months, I decided it was time to upgrade and purchased this motorized and tensioned screen. Tensioning is huge as it keeps the screen flat and distortion free--but there was also the impact of the image quality rendered by the material that actually receives the image. There was a stunning difference compared to the old one--and we've had friends over at various times who actually NOTICED the difference with words like "it's amazing." So going in on-the-cheap ended up wasting $250 for a screen which I gave to my son--which is mostly wasting real money were it not for the gift aspect. As for the seller/manufacturer, (Akia) there was a technical issue that they resolved in mere days and I was highly pleased. So, good screen, good image quality and solid back-up.Please note, we use a high quality Ultra-Short-Throw projector and I think the advertised 180-degree viewing angle for the screen itself also benefits the projection angle, which is quite steep from below and just inches below the screen itself--but the image is very clear, precise and I'll say, deep. All in all, we are extremely pleased with this screen and if you're considering this as an alternative to NOT getting an 85" TV (like us)--which hogs an entire wall and can't be hidden, consider 105" screen that rolls out of sight at the press of a button. Note in the image, the screen is rolled up leaving our smaller TV available for things where image size isn't an issue. For sports (basketball, golf and football) this 105" viewing area this projector and screen is "the bomb" as my sons would say. But now, we watch virtually everything on it. Purchase with confidence, it's a good product.
There is nothing not to like about this projection screen. It works perfectly. I’ve heard other people complain about dents. I haven’t seen any. It’s in perfect condition and was perfectly packed. Does not go up too slow. It goes perfectly fine. Screen quality is great. Picture is nice bright and clear.
Huge difference between projecting on the wall and projecting on this. Seems like it has a full 110" diagonal. Easy to install and pull down. I really like the slow retract feature. Just give it a tug and walk away. It slowly rolls itself up. Pretty heavy duty mechanism and screen. Nice product.
I bought this to be a "tie me over" until I could get a 12ft+ one ordered and in (they all seemed to be oversize shipping and 2+ months out right now. Boy was I wrong there, aside from the install being something you may want to upgrade from the drywall anchors they supplied, it's hard to fault anything here. The slow retract works as advertised and it's not too much effort to pull down. I would say just be "nice" to it, just like anything at this size if you abuse it, it's going to break. Going on a month here and 0 issues, picture looks great even in moderate sun from the behind. At night I just can't imagine spending $500+ on a "nice" screen could really be better.
screen has great tension when lowering into position and stays smooth wjen closing with that auto feature. ZERO compaints whatsoever and for less than $90 shipped?My projector is an older 10+ years Sony VPL-HW40ES and with a new bulb, it's amazingOnly appears crooked because I am on the bed, it's in our bedroom
Love this screen! It offers exact size with a 16:9 ratio to fit in my bedroom. Easy to install. The pull-down design makes it so convenient to turn my room into a theater without interfering daily activities. The picture is quite clear and sharp. Very nice product!
NHL Hockey games never looked so crisp. don't skimp on your projector. more lumens make better images
The screen was a great value and just all around great quality. It was easy to install - I just did hooks in the ceiling. But It's operation seems to be excellent quality. It pulls smoothly, stops where I needed it (at the edge of a horizontal set of speakers), and retracts automatically and smoothly.While I am sure top dollar screens are better, I simply can not fault this screen for the price - or really at all.I am just very impressed...and my wife is impressed enough - she wants a motorized version as she is too short to reach the string, LOL. I would give this a higher rating if there was one!!
My husband and I made a “teen hangout” on our rear patio this summer and I wanted a big screen for the kids to watch movies on. I read the reviews and ordered this screen-very surprised to see the low price compared to other sellers. I ordered the screen and found the shipping box to be slightly damaged and was expecting to find damage BUT we lucked out and the screen was fine. My hubby was so shocked at the amazing quality of the screen and the housing. We immediately set up the screen and we just LOVE it!!! Great product and great seller!!!! I would definitely recommend this screen for someone looking for great quality at a great price!!
Excellent product and works just as advertised. I was pleasantly surprised that it was an Elite screen product in the box. Nice packed and arrived without any damage. Installing it was a breeze. I got myself 2 ceiling hooks and hung the bad boy in no time. The pull down mechanism works without a hitch, don’t get me wrong it’s not the smoothest ever, but works just well. The slow retractable feature was a sure bonus and works great though I do not let it loose as I retract. So far so good. The screen does best in dark or dim light conditions. Not the best with ambient light. Watching a late night episode of GOT on the screen was my validation of purchase. For a 100 inch screen that cost me barely $70 I cudnt be happier.
Fits perfectly in my room. The set up with my projector and my screen is like half the cost of a TV but like 10 times bigger. I love it. Really easy to set up and very durable. I love that when I pull it, I can let go, and it doesn’t slam up words, it retracts nice, and slowly. Great purchase
Only used it once so far, but it’s been a great product and worth the money so far. We mounted it under our awning on our back porch. It should have no issues outside and out of the elements based on reviews I read. It was easy to mount, and function s great so far. I like the sleek design, and the slow retraction feature is really nice, which I’m sure will also add to the life of the device. I don’t have a fancy projector, but the image looked really good for our first movie (standard 1080 bluray). Definitely recommend the product!
This screen is HUGE and great quality especially for the money. Make sure to check the shipping box when it arrives as the box itself is roughly 10 feet long and mine had some damage that was transferred to the casing of the screen and edge of product where you hang. If you're planning to mount I would say have two people present as it can get heavy to hold/hang on your own. The screen is a great thickness and the quality of the material used to make it is superior to others I've seen. Planning to mount this in our tiny house, for guest to pull down and stream movies from our projector.
First, it was a pleasant surprise the brand of the screen is Elite Screens. The screen is HUGE!! The screen material is very adequate to medium-light situations, you get the best performance when you have a dark room, hey you can see the difference , the bright colors, the view angle... i could not recommend this screen more!!! uhhh another thing, the retraction system is really smooth (almost as if it were electric ).If you have a 4k projector or Full HD projector, this is great choice!. But, if you have more budget, the best screens are the silver ones, but they are expensive. 100% recommended.
The screen is very big. The pictures do not do justice to the size of the screen. The screen material is also very thick. Really happy with purchase.Little background: After installing the screen, my contractor realized screen would not retract. I contacted Akia and they sent me the replacement right away. Special kudos to Marisa and Jackie Akia screens for an exceptional customer service. Thank you. I'll definitely purchase from Akia again.
