Review on Elite Screens EzCinema Series by Amrozi Goodall

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Good big screen but could be better.

I have a small problem that does not affect daily use. I just leave the screen open all the time. It's very large and allows my 4K projector to show a nice, clear image. Some of the issues I encountered: - The metal rods on the back of the scissors are slightly bent so they make a scratchy sound and are not smooth when pulled out of the case. - There was a small crack or scratch on the top of the screen. Luckily it was in the black area so it doesn't affect the image. I circled it with black marker to "correct" the visible white tear. The screen is tilted to the left. The base is level (checked with a spirit level). But when I pull the screen up, the top is tilted to the left. As a result, the image of my projector is slightly cropped at the top left. I "fixed" this by placing a 1cm thick stack of printer paper under my left leg. And yes, I checked that my floor and the projector are on the same plane. :-) - The screen is a bit wavy. This is because I have a short throw projector, so any small imperfections on the screen are magnified. The top of the white area of the screen is wavy and curved, so my projected image is concave toward the center. I would not recommend this screen if you have a short throw projector (I have an Optoma GT1090HDR). Definitely don't BUY if you have an ultra short throw. The screen just isn't flat enough for ultra-short shots. This requires more string tension, especially at the top. Or maybe they could have a larger black area at the top. However, it serves the purpose I need. My requirement was that I can pack it up and move it around if needed as my living space needs to be configurable. It met those requirements and seems (based on my research) to be the best I could do. Alternative screens do not have tension cords, so the screen on my short-throw projector becomes even more wavy. Much luck! It's not a bad screen. If the scissor back was smoother and the screen flatter (i.e. tighter tension strings or a way to increase the tension without damaging the screen) I would upgrade it to 5 stars!

Pros
