Elite Screens M80UWH Manual Series Pull Down Projection Screen with Auto Lock, 80-Inch

The screen looks great, and the mechanism is still smooth after many uses. Really love the auto-pullup with just a small tug. Impressed with the toughness; there are no obvious blemishes or creases despite it have taken a few bumps from rowdy sports fans and cats :D

A really nice screen for a reasonable price. Simple to mount to ceiling with two simple anchor points.Retracting mechanism works well. A little stinky when first rolled down, but left rolled down for a day or twoand allowed to off-gas this is not a problem. Screen housing is nice and durable when rolled up.remember that the screen's dimension is 80" diagonally when ordering. I like that the screen has a decent widthblack border around it, which serves as a good barrier to edge damage. The edge may take a few dings over thecourse of its life, but the white area of the screen will be preserved. Good product.

After delivery I noted that the package was loosely sealed at one end. After opening, I saw that the end of the unit where the box was loosely sealed had some minor damage where the plastic had broken. I found one of the broken plastic pieces, but the others were gone so I couldn't just glue it back together. Luckily, I saw that I wasn't going to use the mounting where it was broken and you could barely notice the break, so I chose not to worry about the broken piece.Next, I noticed that they give you these chrome metal triangular rings to mount it from. Alternately, and thankfully, you can use the mounting holes for the triangles with conventional wall/ceiling anchor fasteners. I was compelled not to use the triangles because the unit is pretty flimsy end-to-end and sits naturally twisted, and presumably would still twist after mounting if mounted using just the triangles. This is the actual sheet metal shroud that surrounds the screen twisting end-to-end, which would be really annoying if still observed after mounting. Using the ceiling fasteners gave it a great rigid mounting and straightened-out the natural twist in the unit.The reason I think it was previously used is that it had hand prints on the back (non-reflective) side. Whoever had it last had small, dirty hands. The dirt wiped-off pretty easily. Lastly, when pulled down, I noticed that the screen seems to want to escape the horizontal pull bar you pull it down with. I believe this is going to need to be reinforced or it will eventually fail. This will take a few pennies worth of good tape along the back side of the screen, after some minor disassembly of the horizontal bar, then reassembly after taping.I don't use it as a projection screen, so I can't speak to any wrinkling or picture quality. I use it as a 'green screen' with Zoom so I can have a 'virtual background' during Zoom meetings. It isn't green (it's white), but I shine a green LED on it and it works great for that, unless I wear a green shirt, in which case I switch the LED to blue and very quickly re-calibrate the Zoom virtual background to use blue.Overall, I like the end result and I am very happy. Most people don't have my patience for the rigid installation, nor would they like the way the horizontal pull bar looks like it will fail, which are probably some of the reasons why the last person returned it. The scrolling up-and-down action seems smooth and reliable with the rigid mounting, but I bet it isn't when using the triangular rings. I would buy it again, hoping not to get a poorly packed 'return' next time.

I was looking for a black screen, that had to fit a certain length. This screen worked perfect for my application. and I don't have any complaints about usability and functionality. But for the price I was expecting a new screen not, a used/ returned unit. Unit was missing the protective film and had scuffing and scratch marks that could be from use, or shipping without protection. Also pull string plastic clip was broken in the box, had to be tied on to use.Due to the size, and potential delays, I decided to just use it as is. The screen is slightly recessed in an opening, so the scratches/marks are not very visible, and we have a low enough ceiling that the pull string is not needed.

Nothing to complain about here, the screen is as advertised and looks really great with my Epson projector. I would recommend.
