Review on 📽️ Elite Screens Manual Series: 80-Inch 4:3 Manual Pull Down Projector Screen for Home Theater - Auto Lock, 8K/4K Ultra HD 3D Ready (M80NWV, White) by Derek Davie

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Poor build, LOTS of waves/waves, not worth the money

Edit 2: Elite sent a second replacement screen, it is in MUCH better condition. Again, no unstretched screen is going to be completely flat, so I wasn't expecting perfection, this replacement that Elite sent me direct is about as good as this type of screen can be. I have upgraded to 4 stars now that I have received a screen which was in good condition I am very impressed with how it looks. Correctly. I will update this review with the final result and change the score when warranted. I really wasn't impressed with this screen. It arrived damaged the first time so I had to go through the return process. The body of the roll was dented and the screen was COVERED with wrinkles and ripples. I thought the dented case had something bent inside and that was twisting the screen, but no luck, the replacement caused the same problem. The resulting drop down screen will look MUCH better than this one. There are three huge V-shaped waves that start at the bottom center of the screen where the drop handle is. The bottom bar is so cheaply made that it flexes when you pull the screen down, making the creases look progressively worse over time. There is also SERIOUS curvature along the right and left edges of the screen, this is very noticeable when there is movement on any edge of the image. V-shaped creases are more prominent and make the image appear to "breathe" a little, especially when the camera pans from side to side. All of this leads to the films not looking as good as they could. The screen material is bright enough, the viewing angles are good, the case looks great, wrinkles and ripples only annoy it. Having received two screens with the same issue and seeing many other reviews where people are pointing out the same issue, I didn't worry about a warranty replacement because I'm sure I'll end up with the same issues. on the third screen, with the added bonus of tediously hovering and leveling the third time, no thanks. Next time I select the tab stretch screen, I'm not sure what I'll do. However, select Elite again.
