Double Layer Projector Screen 100 inch 16:9 Portable Projection Movie Screen 3D with No Light Transmission for Home Theater Outdoor Indoor Office with 15 Nails No Crease

I used to have another screen that I bought off amazon that was just one layer, all white, and soft and bright. This did the job, but when something was behind it, you could see that through the screen. I build a PVC outdoor movie screen holder, and it has a middle post for stability. This bar was clearly visible with the old screen, but with this new one with the black backing, you could not see it at all. We used this outdoors, and I was able to start the movie before the sun was completely down, and you could see things just fine. HUGE upgrade over the screens with no black backing. I highly recommend this product! It should be mandatory to add a black backing on all these screens and I can’t believe there aren’t more companies doing it this way!

After another night of looking at my BenQ imagery being degraded against a yellowish, varnish-bubbling wood paneling, I decided I needed a projection screen ASAP. I just project FireStick and the occasional extended laptop, but it was bad… BAD!

Questions for my search:

Was one of these cheaper, “foldable” screens worth it, when a bunch of their reviews are against white walls or poor quality (transparency would NOT work here)? Should I go all out and get a motorized screen? Dare I suggest, a grey screen? How about a pull down? Or maybe a tripod setup for indoor/outdoor? Fixed frame on vinyl? Make a frame?

Ultimately, after some conversations with friends and family and consideration of the use of the space, I decided on a permanent install (no pull-down or motorized) with at least one BLACK layer (double-sided viewing was not a concern as it would be mounted 99% of the time in the living room), and of a heavy fabric. After scouring through many, MANY reviews — by the way, did you know how much harder it is to find a quality, affordable fabric screen for a 100” vs a 120” — I stumbled upon this screen.

It doesn’t/didn’t have many reviews, nor any review photos broadcasting an image. But, it checked off my boxes, and worst case I could always return it with Prime. No need; it has been awesome since Day 1. Image quality is great even with downlighting in front of the screen; no weird smells; the fabric is cooperative.

The quality and weight of the product are perfect for the price point. I didn’t have any fears of thin sheet transparency like some other items on the market. Yes, it comes folded in the same looking pouch as most other screws here, but no need for concern. As with any grommeted style, your wrinkle quality/presence depends on your mounting. I only have one persistent pair of wrinkles at the left hand side of the screen. I used a handheld steamer to remove some of the more prominent wrinkles, which were few, just for sanity’s sake.

I remounted over and over to try and get my leveling right (haha, what a rookie mistake, making more holes in the paneling along the way). I wasn’t fond of “spiderweb” effect on my screen, common for foldable screens, but my dislike of wrinkles surpasses this preference. I also was restricted on my screen height due to 8’ ceilings and a 12-15’ throw; the project currently sits on a dresser behind the couch, towards the back wall, and needs to be mounted as well. I was familiar with hooks that come with the screen as my house came with them from some older pictures; you just hammer the nails in place and removal is easy. They come in a nice little plastic case, though I’m not sure why it has all the different compartments. There’s also a rope. Use 3M Command strips (my second choice if I wasn’t too lazy to buy the hooks) if you want a hole-free option, or build your own mount from plywood. My only concern is there seems to be a grommet at the same bottom left area that is sewn in at such an offset between the two grommets on either side of it, so getting the bottom edge relatively “level” can be a chore – thus the remounting. If you are a pro at that or don’t really care, you won’t have many issues.

Anyway, 5 stars, would buy again.

Easy to set up and use. Nice picture. Great value.

 I bought this screen to design a home theater experience, but I had only one wall to do it which already had a TV wall mounted. That meant, I cannot go for a framed screen, either pull down or hanging ones like this.

I initially setup this just like we setup shower curtain (tip: $9 IKEA screen rod). So, Expand when needed and retract to the side when done, it allowed me to use my furniture and speakers etc that I already have setup for my TV.

Then, I went on a little project to make it a roll-up screen. I had earlier got a garage door mechanism from a friend. We almost succeeded in doing the roll-up screen, but had to put it off once I found a pull-down screen in my budget. This was awesome screen as long as it stood up, served the purpose.

Another plus is that the screen is flat (ironable?!), no need to stretch it much unlike other screens on amazon. It does stretch to remove small wrinkles it has, but you can just hang and have fun.

Due to loss of light (my setup?) this was about 5-10% dull. It wont work well during day in a bright living room. The black background helps, yet, its not suffice.

I originally ordered this screen because of the black material behind the white screen. I was thinking that would be good because it wouldn’t be sheer, see through. When I put it on the wall I was worried because the white side was see through, making it appear grey in color. I thought bright scenes would be tinted grey. However, I was wrong! White and bright video is perfectly bright and white! Great picture and perfect size for my room. Also, the hooks that come with it are very, very good! They have four needle, like nails each. This screen would stay on my wall through a hurricane! Again, the nails are very thin so they won’t damage your wall.

It’s better than the screen I had before which let too much light bleed through. Even though this has the black in the back it still bleeds through since the screen is transparent so you don’t get the sharpest of image quality I guess you get what you pay for to me it’s not worth it
