I just installed my screen two days ago. Because of the size, I did need another person to help hold it. It took us less than 5 minutes to install it. The screen movement is very slow but still extended in less than a minute. The slow movement made it very easy for me to stop at the desired location. I am using a Mitsubishi HC1500 projector (HD). The picture is awesome and exceeds my expectations. I inquired about other screens at a nationally owned theater store. In order to get the same features as this screen (remote, trigger, etc), it was going to cost around $1000. The money that I saved is helping pay for all of the beer that my neighbors are now drinking while watching the games!
The shipment was quick and arrived defect free.
My only complaint is that it took me a lot of searching to figure out how to connect the trigger. The trigger function allows the screen to automatically drop/rise when the projector is powered on/off. The included trigger connects into the screen. In order to connect it into a trigger capable LCD projector, you only need to use two wires from a Cat 5 cable (the cable has to be purchased separately). Those two wires can be connected in to a 1/8" Mini Stereo Phone Plug (which can be purchased at a store that sells radio equipment).
Update on 8/11/09:
The trigger doesn't work 100% of the time. So I disconnected it and just leave the screen down. I do not have the screen mounted in a location where it needs to be up. |
Wonderful!

I received my screen 01/24/08 it came very quick. It's what I hoped for, but more! I had to go on elite's website to find out if this was a 16x9 screen before I purchased it, it is. Getting it up and operational was a snap! The motor is pretty quiet and smooth. This was my first time ordering from amazon and I was very impressed! Elite and amazon exceeded my expectations!
great job |
Great screen.

| This is a great screen for the price looks and works great...some buyers have had problems mostly due to shipping damages (mine arrived with some box damage but the contents were fine).replaced a cheapo pull down screen and happy I did.only flaw very minor is that my harmony remote would activate the screen when selecting the old s-vhs deck to watch a tape with on the tv...the IR codes must have been similar for turning on the vcr and rolling the screen down,but you could hardwire the screen and block the sensor or send the vcr to the graveyard which is what i did. |
BUY! THIS SCREEN

| If your looking for a screen for your HD projector, this is perfect and priced right. I priced this at other sites and came back here. I saw it for as much $499 on other sites. The electric motion is quiet and steady. The remote range leaves a little bit to be desired. You have to be within about 25 feet of the screen for the remote to work. Besides that the unit went up easy and works great. Oh, it looks great with the HD projector also. |
Absolutely outstanding...

Many months of research went into putting my home theater together. I knew that my projector and screen would be the biggest purchase. However, patience paid off and I was able to find a screen that most importantly fit into my budget and was the most practical. This Elite screen I purchased through Amazon turned out to be more than I expected in a moderately priced screen. The picture quality is breathtaking and the functionality is awesome. When I click the projector on and see the screen coming down out of the ceiling is unexplainable knowing how much work went into it.
Amazon was simply awesome to work with, the screen was at my door in 4 days with no damage. I tell folks about Amazon all the time. |
