Manual Series, 84-INCH 16:9, Pull Down Manual Projector Screen with AUTO LOCK, Movie Home Theater 8K / 4K Ultra HD 3D Ready, 2-YEAR WARRANTY, M84UWH, 16:9, 80.4"W x 57.6"H, Black

Installed the 150" screen over my garage door and set up a quick movie (rhymes with "Blinding Temo") just to see how it would look with some ambient light still. As you can see - even with the sun setting behind me, there was PLENTY of contrast and overall picture quality got a lot of "wows" from the neighbors. Two of their kids grabbed chairs and just posted up for the duration. I'd say that's an instant-win. The screen initially didn't retract all the way and was veeery slow to go back up. I contacted Elite Screens customer service and they sent me the instructions to add tension back into the rod. Took me 5 minutes with an extra set of hands from my wonderful wife. Tossed it back up and *boom*, worked like a charm. Retracts fully unassisted at a reasonable pace and locks in place. I was able to pull it down and have it "lock in" at plenty of intervals (maybe around an inch per "step"?), so I wasn't sure what the other reviewers were having trouble with...mine dialed in nicely. I'd say it's a genuine win. Good customer service (they got back to me in less than a day) and good quality screen for the money. Neighborhood movie night and game night just went to a whole new level.

I purchased this screen on Wirecutter’s recommendation to accompany my new TCL A1 projector. It’s excellent quality, very sturdy, and quite heavy. The size was perfect for my space and my projector’s picture is as good as can possibly be on this screen. I needed to enlist additional upper-body strength to get this screen set up in my space because it is large, unwieldy, and heavy, but once it was installed, it pulls down and retracts with ease. Yes, it’s pricey, but I’m confident it will outlast my projector and I’m very pleased with the purchase.

This screen is amazing. The projector image looks almost as clear as my OLED LG TV. Easy to install and roll up and down. Sturdy construction. Highly recommend it!

I will leave up my original review, but please keep in mind that this was a brand new product when I made it. The screen just about 30 minutes ago on Sunday, February 9th of 2025 made a loud pop and the screen now hangs dead with no ability to retract. It lasted about 9 months, which is just not long enough. For that I have reduced my rating from 4 stars to 1 star. The following is my original review: The screen has good contrast. There are bright crease lines on several points in the screen that are quite visible without a picture on the screen but not when in use. The screen is thick and doesn’t let any ambient light in through the blacked out back. I’m using a 4K laser projector with the 150” screen and it’s working quite well. You aren’t going to be able to mount it unless you have perfect stud spacing. However, it is relatively simple to do a ceiling joist mount with some simple hardware store eye screws. I just measured the distance between the mounting holes and drilled into the ceiling joists (beams) horizontally and screwed eye screws into the holes. Pop some carabiners into the eye screw holes and bam, mounted into the ceiling firmly. I can’t speak to the durability or sturdiness because it’s been up for all of two hours, but I’ll update this review as needed. I purchased the extended warranty through Amazon just to be safe. So far, it seems to be a solid product for the money in a market where similar products are at least double the price. I was previously using a $30 screen, so this is definitely an upgrade provided that nothing goes wrong with the retraction mechanism.

I have been using this screen for little over a year now and during this time I have moved to a different place as well. So, I can comment on both the durability as well as the display quality of the screen for my 720p Panasonic LCD projector. My projector is about 4 years old and while the overall picture quality is still good, the contrast is not as good (as you'd expect in a 2005 model). Before this I was using a DYI screen made with a Home Depot particle board and paint as advised by many in AVS Forum. While this was much better than the dry wall, I was still not getting as good picture as my projector was capable of producing. And also I wanted a screen that would enhance the contrast without degrading the brightness as well as have wide viewing angle so that viewers can sit anywhere in the room. This screen has met all my expectations. The blacks are darker now and the brightness has also increased compared to my DYI screen making the picture pop out and more realistic. Even though the specs are not as good, I still enjoy my 4 year old projector more than my high-end PN50B850 plasma TV, even though the TV is quite good. It's probably due to the sheer size of the screen (106") that makes the movie experience more like a theater one. For sports during the day, the screen/projector combination is quite bright if I reduce the size to about 80" or so, which is still much bigger than my TV. About durability of the product, the internal spring is still working well even after at least 200 uses. I even keep the screen hanging for weeks at a time and so far no issues. We also moved to a different place and I don't see any issue even after the move. I'd recommend this screen to anyone who is looking to get the best picture out of a mid-range projector in a near-dark room.

I recently got my hands on a ViewSonic PRO8530HDL and needed something to project it onto. I had tried another screen, a portable one with a tripod, but it was just horribly made, a total piece of junk that wouldn't even stand level. I set up that return, then looked through the options for screens that were Amazon Prime options, so I could overnight one. This one was one such, and I paid the extra to overnight it. And, of course, that flopped horribly. Ordered on Friday, paid a large shipping premium to get it overnight, and it arrived late Tuesday. At least Amazon refunded my extra shipping fee, but still bothered me that a Prime item wasn't anywhere close to even the prime 2 day shipping promise. But that's about all I can complain about. The unit itself arrived in great condition. I was mounting it up at the top of the wall in my great room, so didn't have to worry about studs, as the wall has the double 2x4's across that whole upper edge. Screwed in the screws that came with it, had a buddy help me get it hung, and that was it. I had no wrinkles or any other issues with it when I first unrolled it - was perfect already by that point. For permanent mounted screens like this, I really wish there was a way to "tweak" angle. It wouldn't be difficult for screen makers to have some kind of a screw-driven floating attachment point, so you could easily tweak it slightly up or down on each side, to get it perfectly level after hanging it. Despite the top being level, the screen itself is just slightly angled when it comes out. But the thickness and black back is awesome, since I have this RIGHT over a large bay window, and it does a perfect job of blocking all that light. The screen itself is great, the picture looks awesome on it. Bright, and has a great viewing angle. All told, I can tell I'm really going to LOVE having a projector once I get my custom designed mount done so I can position the projector at the perfect spot, since the only place to mount it currently is about 12 to 18 inches too far away, so I can't squeeze the picture down enough to fit this screen.

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....

Screen is nice, good picture, easy install. Only bad things were *Ordered 150” screen received 120” the return on that took a while. *Received correct 150” screen next day but once opened metal part was bent in a few places its just aesthetic because screen still works fine so we are keeping it because the return process was a hassle the first time . You would think with the price you pay for these the packaging would protect better.
