Elite Screens Manual Series, 142-INCH 16:9, Pull Down Manual Projector Screen with AUTO Lock, M142UWH2, 16:9, Black & 6" White Projector Screen L-Brackets

Elite Screens M106UWH Manual Projection Screen (106 inch 16:9 AR)I purchased this screen three weeks ago and so far I must say I like it quite well. I purchased it to replace my original 100" DIY screen which I had constructed from some instructions I found on a popular projector review site; it consisted of a wood frame covered in black felt with white seamless background paper (used in photography) stapled to the back. It did me well for six years or so, but unfortunately over time the paper sagged and developed large wrinkles which caused some distortion and "waving" of the image, especially during static scenes and scrolling film credits. I have some of the background paper left over so I could have replaced it, but instead I thought I should look at a better solution.I purchased Elite Screens model M106UWH which is a 106 inch 16:9 AR manual projection screen. Before I made the purchase I read many reviews, both positive and negative on many of Elite Screen's products. Most of the negative reviews had to do with problems with the retraction mechanism jamming or breaking. Since there were far more positive than negative reviews, I figured I'd give it a try. I paid $125 for it including my state sales tax and since it was Prime eligible, I didn't pay anything for shipping. When it arrived the box had a couple holes in it and a few serious dents and I was certain the screen had been damaged during shipping, but on inspection there was a enough spacing with the foam packing spacers that it was fine.Pros: I was surprised to find the main housing was metal; for the price I thought it would be plastic.I have found the retraction mechanism to be very smooth; I had no problem pulling down the screen, locking it into several positions, and then releasing and having it retract. So far the mechanism seems pretty solid. Since I'm going to be leaving my screen down this isn't a big deal to me, but having read many other customer reviews it's important to a lot of other purchasers.The contrast and overall sharpness are better than my original screen. It's not a huge difference, but enough to be noticeable. I think it is a bit more neutral in color balance as well. It is also a bit brighter, but that wasn't really an issue since my home theatre is in a darkened basement; I have to turn DOWN the brightness a bit to get the image adjusted correctly.Cons: The included documentation is terrible! It consisted of a Screen Material Disclaimer sheet, which told me about "memory lines", a 'Universal Projector Mount' rebate form, an 'In-Wall Switch Rebate' form, an 'Elite Screens' brochure AND a single sheet about the 'On-Line User Guide or Download'. Since the User Guide is all of eight pages, and the Dimension sheet just a single page, would it have been that difficult to include? Evidently so; you'll have to go to their website to get that info.While the Dimension Table sheet is quite extensive in giving you just about every measurement you could want or need about their product, to me there were three major problems: 1) The most important dimension, the distance between the wall mounting holes on the end caps was not even included! The measurement you need to determine where you are going to put the screws in your wall so you can mount the screen doesn't exist; you'll have to measure (or calculate) that yourself. 2) The Dimensions Table is in Decimal and not Fractional inches. Excuse me? The vast majority of us that have a tape measure don't have one that is graduated in tenths and hundredths of inches; I know they are available but most people don't own one. 3) The end cap measurements on the Dimension Table sheet are in Metric and not US/Imperial measurements - even more math that will have to be done to get mounting screws aligned correctly.Installing it by myself was a little bit of a challenge; after I measured the placement of the drywall anchor screws (see the Cons) and installed them, it took a bit of effort to lift and align the screen with the screws to attach it to the wall. Even though the screen weighs only 21 pounds, lifting that above your head and trying to get two small holes on either side of the housing to line up with the anchor screws in the wall is difficult. I managed it after a few tries, but I'd recommend having someone else handy to assist you mounting the screen.Overall I'm very happy with this screen and I have no problem recommending it. The edge curls and "waves" others have complained about with the various models of the Elite Screens I have not experienced with mine. Also the smell others have complained about in other reviews I have not experienced. Initially there was a smell similar to a vinyl window shade, but it dissipated within a day, so I can't complain.

Very easy to pull down and retract the screen. Very sturdy. Beautiful screen.

This screen is simple and good quality. The retract function works easily. When I first opened it, the screen had a slight curl at the edges from being coiled up for so long. But those smoothed out after a day or two of hanging open.

Purchased this screen as an upgrade from another manual pull down screen. We moved our projector and needed a larger screen size. At first I was shocked to see how expensive +125 inch 16:9 format screens were going for, then I found this item. Comparing other screens of a similar size this item is literally $100s ofdollars cheaper. Of course I was concerned the quality of the screen may not be great, as the saying goes "You Pay for what You Get". I made the decision to pull the trigger and buy the item as I was much more willing to pay $212 for a screen then $800+.Please keep in mind if you ship the item "Standard" it ships freight. Fed Ex called me a day before to arrange delivery, because they considered it a "Freight" item. I had some concerns with an item of this size (length) in a freight truck that it could be damaged. Once the item was delivered I inspected before signing the paperwork. The box was a little dinged up (crushed corner) but the item had sustained no damage. The until was very easy for 2 people to carry inside.Once out of the box the first thing I noticed was the item does not come with any type of "Hardware" for mounting. It does have a "Mounting Plate" on each side at the side that gives you the ability to Flush Mount into a ceiling / stud, and 2 holes you could use to install additional hardware to suspend mount if you choose. There were no screws however. No worries as I had some spares in the tool box. I elected to flush mount into a stud. You will want AT LEAST 2 people to help you while you mount. The item is not really heavy but its just so big, more hands is more helpful.Once installed I pulled the screen down and took a first look. I could see no material defects with the screen of any type. Did notice a "Plastic" smell (that went away after about 12-24 hrs). Screen pulled down smoothly. We do not put our screen up, so really it was pull down and forget. Movies / Xbox / Streaming from Laptop all looks great on this screen. Video quality is very good, I am above satisfied with its performance.Only reason I did not give this item 5 stars is I have noticed after about a week the screen has started to wrinkle in the bottom, to the left of the handle. My wife and friends don't notice it, but I do. You can really only see it when something is projected over that area that is very dark, and the wrinkle is about 3 inches in length. Its not a big enough deal to cause me to try and return it however.I would recommend this item to anyone who needs a screen this size and would not hesitate to purchase another one of these units myself. They are almost giving it away at the price of $212, do not over think this purchase, save yourself some big money!

This was the 2nd Elite screen that I have purchased. The first on in 2020, and it had developed too many wrinkles, and the ends had worked loose. The ends worked loose within the first few months, but the screen was only $120 so I didn't bother with any warranty. This one that I purchased was $260, and they just jacked the price up to $400 in the last few days. I installed the screen to their specifications, and it had a few wrinkles and warped edges. I gave it a few weeks to see if it would straighten, and it did a tiny bit, but was still unacceptable for an almost $300 screen. I started the return and replacement process, only to have the first screen picked up earlier than it was supposed to have been, and the replacement screen was then all of the sudden delayed. After weeks of contacting Amazon, and multiple delivery dates come and gone, I was told the package could not be delivered and no replacement screen could be sent to me. I argued that it said "Prime" and "Free Returns" when I ordered it, and only afterward had it changed to just "Free Returns". Amazon, as usual, made up for the bad seller and refunded me all of my money and then some for the inconvenience. But the seller clearly pulled one over on me and didn't want to pay for shipping to send me a replacement. I just ordered and received the Akia, 125" motorized screen and love it! I definitely will not order from Elite anymore. Especially since they just jacked their price up over 30%.

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

Die Leinwand ist echt toll. Die Montage ist kinderleicht, wenn man keine 2 linken Hände hat ;)Meine Leinwand sieht gut verarbeitet aus, habe es nicht wirklich unter die Lupe genommen, aber mir ist nichts negativ aufgefallen.Licht kommt keines von hinten durch, auch kein Tageslicht. So wollte ich das. die Ausziehfunktion klappt bisher prima - sehr einfach zum Ausziehen und ebenso einfach und zuverlässig (ohne hin und her) zum wieder Einrollen.Im nachhinein bin ich froh, nicht doch eine motorisierte Leinwand gekauft zu haben, es wäre in meinem Fall einfach nur mehr als unnötig.Was ich viel gelesen habe bei günstigeren Leinwänden, war, dass sie so furchtbar stinken. Diese Leinwand von Elite Screens riecht überhaupt nicht auffallen oder geschweidedenn unangenehm. Ich habe sie direkt ausgepackt und in mein Schlafzimmer gehängt. Gar kein Problem :)Einziges Problem bei mir war die Lieferung. Diese war ohnehin recht lang (für Amazon Ware): 1 bis 2 Wochen. Dann kam noch dazu, dass meine Ware auf dem Weg beschädigt wurde und nochmal neu versandt werden musste. Das hat dann nochmal länger gedauert. Da ich es nicht wirklich eilig hatte, war es mir egal. Gut fand ich allerdings, dass ich keine beschädigte Ware bekommen habe, sondern eine Benachrichtigung was Sache is.Der Preis ist meiner Meinung nach kein Schnäppchen, aber da ich kein Risiko eingehen wollte, Qualitätsmängel zu haben, musste es ein klein wenig mehr Geld sein. Kurzum: Ich bin zufrieden. Das Bild darauf sieht toll aus, super leichte Montage, qualitativ hochwertiges Produkt für hoffentliche eine lange Zeit

電動より軽くて、故障も心配ない

Good

Very good, very sturdy build. Like it alot
