My theater has always been on a tight budget. I joined the HTF after buying an Optima 1080 darbee short throw projector for my birthday present. For a long time the screen was - the wall. Worked pretty well - especially for me because I'm a BIG screen guy. Well we just moved to a new condo and I now have a basement and some room. I wanted a screen but most were more that I wanted to spend. I found the Vevor 155" screen in my searches and bought one. Here are my views.
The screen is a fixed 16:9 screen. The frame is aluminum with a velvet black cover. The screen is 3 layers with a polyester material with a PC film for the screen surface. It is white with a claimed 160 degree viewing angle.
The screen comes as a DIY project. First you construct the frame then the screen material is attached with (what seems like a hundred) springs. That along with 2 brace bars (I know the ad only shows 1 but that apparently is for the 130" screen).
I am starting my 80's and I found the construction challenging but do-able. It took me about 3 hours. My wife helped for a few minutes to keep the frame still during the placement of a couple of the early springs as they were under a lot of tension. My son came over the next day to help me hang it on the wall because it was just too large for one person to hold and mount.
The screen cost under $200 dollars and in my view was well worth it. Not up to some of the more expensive options out there but a major upgrade for my theater. Next up - a better sound system.
(Added - I know it's a white ceiling and walls but I still have to please someone else in the family )
