Is there any way to date these? The housing is plastic with a simulated wood apperance.

I think it's an older screen, came out of an office building so I don't think it's 16:9. Don't know what material it's made of either...It's white! The screen itself is 12' wide with an 8 foot drop.

Bought this for $150.00 figured it was worth a gamble. Couldn't find a manufacturing date on it. Thoughts?

Don, Thanks for the reply. Your install sounds much more labor intensive than I was planning on. I thought I'd just be able to screw the screen enclosure to the floor joists, cut a long hole and find a way to finish it off. I guess I'll just need to buy a screen and figure out what needs to be...

WOW! WAY out of my price range, but thanks for the link. The projector lifts were pretty cool, too. I want to spend $600 or less for the screen. Maybe after we pay down the house a little I can splurge but for right now, I just need a hideaway screen.

Thank you for the replies. I don't have a lot of money to spend on a really high end screen (the wife spent all our money at the design studio) which means I may have to go with a wall/ceiling mount and convert it to an above ceiling screen. Mine too will be hung from a floor joist. I guess I'll...

I want to add an above-ceiling (recessed) screen. Would it be difficult to buy a ceiling mount screen and install in above the ceiling? Also, we have drywall ceilings in our theater room to be. How do you recommend cleaning up and finishing the cut in the drywall that allows the screen to lower...
