I purchased this screen for the price and availability. Every screen we thought would work was either sold out or would not be available for a long while. We had a fixed frame screen suspended from our ceiling, but we didn't have the luxury of storing it away unless we took it down completely. We also had a TV on the wall behind it, and we were looking for that right projector screen that would work conveniently. Well, when this one came in it was packaged very well. We hung it on the existing hooks and plugged in the USB transmitter to the back of our projector. When the projector turned on, the screen came down. When we shut the projector off, the screen retracted up! That simple. You can also stop the screen in any position you'd like. We recently watched the new "Justice League" movie that was shot in the 4:3 format. It filled the whole screen and was phenomenal to watch! The housing is very well made and solid. The motor is not loud, but it also isn't super quiet either...no biggie. The screen comes down at a good pace - not too fast or too slow . The tension rod seems to me very "light" looking...like it has no meat to it...I've included pictures of the tension rod showing slight rippling, but it doesn't hinder the picture quality as the middle of the screen is very flat with no waves. You hardly notice the ripple on the side as the picture is gorgeous. The screen is gray/silver tone for diffusing the ambient light...works great for us as we watch at any time of the day with clear picture and color. I gave this a four star only for the ripple on the side, which doesn't hinder picture quality in the least. It works for us and for the price and quality, we cannot complain...more pros than cons!
This is a review of my Vividstorm Tab-tensioned Screen, Electric Drop Down 120-inch Diag 16:9, Ambient Light Rejecting (VMSLALR120H) long focus. The Vividstorm screen came very well package with foams and ties protecting the housing. All the accessories and a little manual came with it and nothing was missing. I have no dents or scratches in my screen or frame. I originally purchased the screen back in November 2019 during black Friday but during the shipment of the screen it had shifted the bottom portion of the screen and it was wrinkled up. I sent an email to customer service and pictures to them and they responded back on how to fix the issue I was having. The instructions were quite simple on how to fix the issue but I could not get the screen to move at all or make the wrinkes disappear. I requested a replacement through Amazon and it took about 12 days to have a new one back in my house. Once I opened the new package, I found out that one of the clips to hold the screen from moving inside during shipment was out of place. My guess is during transportation the clip came off the track, however there were 3 other clips still in placed holding the screen from moving inside. Upon removing the holding clips, I noticed the bottom end of the screens were shifted one side and wrinkles appeared badly. I will attach these pictures in the review. I decided to inspect the screen myself and found a screw at the bottom of the rail holding the string tensioning. All I did is to remove the screw on each side of the bottom of the screen and pull each side of the screen gently so that spacing is equally distributed along the side of the screen. Once I fixed the screen everything was ok. There were no more wrinkles in the screen. The electric dropdown of the screen is smooth. It is not super loud but you will hear a clunk when the screen is retracted into the housing. Dropping the screen is quiet but not silence either and there is no clunk when fully extended. Two remotes are included. One IR remote and one RF remote that can be used anywhere without pointing to the screen. The screen material reminds me of an umbrella and it is of dark gray color. The Vividstorm screen does not have black borders in its side or top. The screen has a low gain of 0.8. The housing is white and heavy aluminum. It is well made and it does not feel cheap at all. Installation of the screen is very easy and it requires 2 persons. The reason I purchased this screen is to watch daily news and sports during day time. I used to have a 106" diagonal 16:9 Matte White 1.2 gain and watching these types of videos during day time was not enjoyable at all. My previous old screen displayed colors that were washed out to the point that I only watched bluray movies at night only. So, I do not have a dedicated room where I can make it completely black during day time. I have a family room where I have a series 55 inches Sony TV and right above the TV it is located the projector screen. I will attach pictures so you can see the difference in these 2 mediums. Please see TV images where the Sony logo is at bottom of the picture. During day time, I would watch my Sony TV and during night time I would drop the screen from the top and watch movies. My projector is a really old Sony Cineza HS20 at 1080i and this projector at the brightest setting puts out 952 lumens. Since this is an old projector with more than 300 hours, a 20% dropped in lumens occurs after 300 hours. So, my best estimate my Sony projector output is 762 lumens. I have also measured the light at 19.69 lux with a digital lux meter with a distance of around 15 feet. The distance from my projector to screen is 16.6 feet. I have attached many types of images from watching news, 2 cartoons blinds opened and closed, 2 sports blinds opened and closed, and movies images at night with no light in the room. The images during day time is at 12:30 pm in bright sunshine. Even with my old projector I can now watch many types of shows during daytime with blinds opened or closed and I am really surprised with the picture I get. I will imagine with today’s current projectors outputting more lumens that the image will be higher contrast, brigther and better. Yes, the images could be better with a newer generation projectors but knowing I can watch everything with a pretty decent image with my current old projector is awesome. All the pictures have not been edited and have been taken with iphone 8. I will be updating to a new projector in a near future and will post my findings. This is an ALR screen that can do it all anytime.Based on my opinion, I rate the following screen for the categories below.Support – 5.0 stars (combined with Amazon and Vividstorm responsive customer service, 2 yr warranty)Quality – 4.4 stars (aluminum, heavy duty motor, well painted, well packaged, screen material somewhat thin)Performance – 4.6 stars (good images during daytime, good blacks and color during movies at night)**** I could not upload pictures for the review
My experience with this item has been a mixed bag. The first 1 I recieved was obviously damaged from the delivery company. Seller did end up making it all right for me though and got me another one delivered. Now for my review of the screen. I feel like they give you a nice assortment of remote options (IR and RF remotes), the 12v trigger is nice, and the look of the housing is nice as well. The screen so far operates as it should. The company has been very good with and quick to answer all question. I have only had it a short while and there is some minor wrinkles to the edges but from it hanging I am hoping they will go away and the rest of the screen is flat so far.even though it hasnt been a 100% perfect transaction I am overall pleased with the image on the screen and the company support.
