Elite Screens VMAX2, 135-inch 16:9, Wall Ceiling Electric Motorized Drop Down HD Projection Projector Screen, VMAX135UWH2

Had a couple wrinkles when purchase, I thought they would disappear after time, they did not.

VMAX2 - 135", 16:9 MaxWhite FG (tubular motor) using with Epson 6040UB. Upgraded from an 7-year old 120" 16:9 motorized screen in my multi-purpose living room.Pros:1. Very sturdy build2. Excellent picture quality when light is under control, though not any different from my 7 year old previous screen.3. Good black borders4. Recommended 2 person install, but you might be able to do it alone if you carefully measure and hook one end at a time.Cons:1. Does not come with mounting L-brackets.2. No adjustable mounting end caps to have them aligned where studs are located. Very likely you'll only find one end to fall exactly where studs are located. Do NOT trust this weight to be supported by drywall alone. Also not recommended to simply hang from ceiling. Secure it in some fashion so that it cannot swing.3. For this length of 129.5 inches (overall frame length) there is absolutely no mid beam support. Even if the frame is unlikely to flex, I wouldn't trust just the ends to carry the full load. I ended up doing a custom chain and hook to support the beam midway given that one ends had to end up being supported only by drywall.4. While I expect a screen of this size to have some tension issues/flexing, the edges of the screens bend inwards too much. Thankfully, this is mostly the black borders. Only time will tell if they straighten out. The fiberglass reinforcement on this screen doesn't feel any different from regular ones.5. Need to buy a separate wireless trigger to hook to your projector if you don't want lengthy networking wires between the screen and standard throw projectors.6. The power cord doesn't even extend the full screen height (as others have commented)! An extension cord will be required.Overall, good value if you need a motorized screen. If you can do without motorized, I would recommend the fixed frame screens instead - cheaper, more reliable, and can be tensioned much more easily.Updates 1/27/2021:Having had it for more than a month now, I would add a one more thing. Try to get the black version if possible to reduce light reflections hitting the case. I ended up using black gaffer tape to the bottom portion of the case and that has solved the reflection problem.Updates 12/28/2020:1.After having used this screen for several movies using a Epson 6040UB, I can continue to attest that it is really good at bringing out a good contrast. However, if you don't have a completely dark room, it also annoyingly reflects lights which makes the top and bottom bars in cinema scope movies appear grey in color even if the movie content area itself is perfect. This affects my overall perception of contrast even though the movie contrast itself is perfect (and yes, I have been somewhat spoiled in my expectations since I have an OLED TV that shows inky blacks for bars). You might want to consider the Cinema Grey/3D/5D screens if you don't have a pitch black non-reflecting room.2. If you want to use the Elite Screens wireless RF trigger (a separate purchase, model: ZSP-TR03 or ZSP-RF-W V3.0) with some Epson projectors, please note that the wireless trigger expects a mono input, while the Epson projector outputs stereo with the 12v only on the red-white (neutral) wires. The black-white (neutral) wires do not carry a signal, and so you may have to do some custom wiring mod to send the right signal into the wireless trigger. Also, the Epson projector sends the signal with a 5~7 second delay after turning on.3. After lowering and raising the screen about 50 times now, the edge curvature on the black borders has remained. Looks like it is there to stay. Minor annoyance compared to the more significant benefits

Everything about this screen is great except, you have to have an understanding to email customer service if you have a problem. It was easy to install as a replacement for the VMAX2 100" screen, which worked just fine, but again, no customer service. Doing all I can not to return it.UPDATE Once I began working with the customer service department, they were quite receptive. They are now sending a replacement. Their screens are of good quality. Hopefully, for future customers, they could improve their response time.

This review is for the VMAX2 110" 16:9SHIPPING: Clean and safe, shipping delivered on time.INSTALLATION: you will need a friend to install it, is not heavy but not easy to manipulate by your self.1.- I found the studs and used the ALL IN ONE screw & anchor from the company WALL DOG they sell them on any home department store just screw them without any pre holes, the ones that I used are the 1-1/2" rated up to 175 pounds ( more then necessary).2.- Be sure to use a large level for accuracy, if you need to shim one side I just used some small washers between the ceiling an the screen base, you can not see them from the floor, cleaner look.QUALITY: sturdy, I got the black model is and the screen material is made out of fiber glass, the ESPECTRUM SERIES are made of fabric if I'm not mistaking that's way this is series are more expensive.SMELL: it will smell like solvent for the first days of use, what I did for the first days is that before go to sleep I will leave it down and the windows open so the smell can disappear. Smell is gone Screen still there though lol.PICTURE QUALITY: FOR THE PRICE IS MORE THAN I EXPECTED, great quality I use it with my Epson 3500 and 3D movies look great :)COMPATIBILITY & CONTROL: It comes with all necessary controls, (IR) and Radio Frequency (RF) remotes, detachable 3-way wall switch, built in 5-12V trigger input, and Cat5 cable( this is for the 12V triger for those how have a receiver with that capability, I end up not using non of them.THE BEST FEATURE FOR ME IS THAT IT CAN BE CONTROLLED BY THE HARMONY ELITE, I can create activities and have the screen come down by it self as soon as I choose the " watch a projector movie" under my activities. I can also manipulate it independently if I wish through the harmony control.Over all great buy I been having it for about 3 months now, but only time will tell.... SO FAR VERY PLEASED and look small after getting use to it,
