Review on STT-169100-WAB Silver Ticket Thin Bezel 16:9 Aspect Ratio 4K Ultra HD Ready HDTV (6 Piece Fixed Frame) Projector Screen (16:9 by Jeff Figueroa

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Overall a very good screen, especially for the price.

Beautiful projection screen. Assembly was relatively easy and straightforward. The screen's gray material has improved black levels, but won't work wonders in normal lighting. In other words, don't expect Black Diamond performance. But in a rather dark room, the PQ is excellent. The overall quality is high, although I agree that you need to be careful of the edges and sand down sharp corners to avoid accidentally cutting the screen material. A few tips: 1. The instructions for the 135 inch screen require the installation of a certain number of protrusions. The instructions were wrong - I needed 2 more than listed above and below. To be on the safe side, count the gaps at the top and bottom of the screen material and you'll know exactly how much to install.2. Yes, the screen material is becoming increasingly difficult to stretch and fit over the ledges. I didn't have any tools with me. However, I just used a thin hex key and inserted it through the hole in the screen first, then pressed against the aluminum edge/gap on the frame and pushed a little to get the screen in the lugs. This is very similar to mounting a bicycle tire with a pry bar. Installation is very easy with any tool that will go through holes in the material but is strong enough to apply leverage.3. When you get to the corners, flatten the front of the screen a bit before stretching the screen material over the ledges. This avoids wrinkles that usually appear at the four corners. I went with limitless. If you don't install a thin bezel, the clips that fit the bottom of the screen won't be used as they don't have anything to clamp on to. I simply mounted the top brackets to the wall and hung the screen on the wall, then used a couple of foam pieces from the box to space the bottom about 1/2 inch apart so the screen was perfectly vertical.
