This screen is perfect for your home theater.  It is very portable and easy to take down and setup.  When you go to set up the unit, you first, flip out the feet for support, unlatch the cover of the screen, setup the screen height bar, then pull the screen up and fasten it to the top of the bar.  Took all of 2 minutes.  I decided to go with this screen because I wanted something that I could take to an Xbox party, or take it outside for a neighborhood movie night but also have a nice professional look if I wanted to leave it setup in my TV room.  I found this online for $289.00 Shipped to my door in 2 days.

The 1st thing I noticed with this screen is how much the screen moved  back and forth with little effort.  This would be no problem indoors but when I had it setup outside, I had to use some wood blocks to weight down the front of the screen feet and a bungy cord to my garage door handle to keep it from falling forward when the wind decided to kick up.  I had my screen fall over one time because I did not have it weighted down when we got a gust of wind.

This screen produces a very bright image and everything looks beautiful reflecting back to the audience.  I popped in GRID racing on my Xbox360 and it looked awesome.  The projector I was using, is not hi-def or DLP, its an 8 or 9 yr old LCD NEC projector 4:3 aspect ratio.  I'm sure if you had a modern projector, the picture would be even more awesome!.

If you are in need of a projector screen. I would recommend this unit. I give it a 4 out of 5 stars!
