Elitescreens Manual B, 80" Diag. 16:9, Pull Down Manual Projector Screen with AUTO Lock, Movie Home Theater 8K 4K Ultra HD 3D Ready, 2-Year Warranty, M80H 16:9, 80 inch

We bought the screen because we were told that it would make the picture much better than just the white painted wall. It doesn’t it actually makes it less clear! And when we went to send it back, they said they’re only giving us 3.99 in shipping costs.! so now I don’t know whether to pay whatever the shipping will be on this long box and get a partial refund and try and get a better screen or what but I think it’s completely unfair that I am now paying for shipping cost to ship a in adequate screen that does not perform as the advertisement says.

I've had higher end screens in the past and with that came a stronger enclosure and a heavier weight material. It seems you get what you pay for with these. That's not necessarily a bad thing, the reflectivity is bright and vibrant, and I really love the brake on the return mechanism, so I don't feel like I've lost much. That said, the lighter material does curl in a bit more at the edges on the larger screen (ours is the 100" 16:9), and the enclosure had to be handled with a little more care as the metal was thin enough it felt like I might damage or twist it if I squeezed too hard. The hangers hole positions might be great for direct wall or ceiling mount, but when being hung on fixed hooks it made hanging the screen quite difficult as they face each other, not ideal. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase, the hooks were only a problem when hanging it but really it's a set it and forget it scenario. The screen is sturdy when pulling or returning, and the reproduction is what I'd hoped.

This is what I was looking for my media room. But I feel it’s bit expensive

Just what I was looking for. I'm very happy with this product

Product arrived on time. Very well packaged to protect it with outer and inner cardboard box and styrofoam on ends and inner box to protect it. Came with screws and plugs but we used hooks to screw into a shelf/valance which is quite sturdy so installation was easy. We thought that if the screws were used you might want to use some more robust ones. The housing is finished nicely and matched the black shelf/valance from which it hangs so it is not even noticeable. There are instructions on how to pull the screen down ( a pull is also included which you can use if you want) and also how to correctly start the retraction mechanism. It retracts in at a nice pace and seats itself perfectly. The quality of the movie we projected was very clear and we are very happy with that. It seems like a good quality for the price we paid. We read some reviews that the screen retracted slowly but it is most likely engineered to do this in a controlled manner to protect the mechanism. I would recommend this product and feel it exceeds it's description of an entry level retractable screen.
