Setup and Installation With fixed screens you have a more detailed procedure of assembly and instructions to follow, any one of which could render the screen lame if not followed perfectly. In contrast, the ez-Cinema setup process is akin to popping open a soda can. Here are the setup steps in a nutshell (a very small nutshell): • Spin out the stabilizing feet perpendicular to the base to ensure the screen system doesn't topple over when raised up • Flip up the metal latches and open up the box cover • Fire up your projector and make sure it is sending a picture that can be visible on the screen during the next few steps • Remove the support rod • Insert the square end of the support rod into the support plate located in the middle of the case and adjust the height to where the screen is at the correct height for your projector (ensure the hanging hook is facing forward) • Lift the screen and place the metal hanger on the support hook • Adjust by raising or lowering the vertical support pole as needed - the screen will follow. This is only possible if you can get behind the screen. If not, then make sure you put the screen all the way down before attempting adjustments to the vertical pole (be certain to never let the screen fall without tension.) Observations The ez-Cinema screen lived up to its name during use, it's truly easy to setup, operate and put away when finished. The added benefit of low cost of entry make this a product that is hard to pass up, especially if you are on a budget and want a portable solution. When projecting images on the screen we found that darkening the room somewhat was helpful, especially since the Matte White material only offered a 1.1 gain (not raising the image intensity at all during use). While there is a ~1" side and top mask (with the bottom mask increasing as the screen is raised) light does show up a bit more than on a felt-lined fixed screen. This is to be expected and I did a comparison to show the difference using the same image in the same room with the same lighting: 147 Looking at the Elite Screens ez-Cinema on the right, you'll see a slightly more noticeable overshoot when the picture is over scanned onto the black 1.25-inch matte. This wasn't detracting in the least, but don't expect to get the same type of light rejection as you would with a fixed-wall felt-lined frame (pictured on the left.) Viewing Evaluation I won't go into too much detail on the evaluation section. Suffice it to say that the screen performed very well and did not detract in the least from standard or even high definition viewing. I noticed no screen flaws and the screen texturing was unnoticeable from any normal seating distance. I felt that reducing the light in the room worked much better on this screen, however that will also have a lot to do with what type of projector you intend to use. If you are going for theatrical movies, try to darken the room and run the projector in it's Cinema mode (lower light output). If you are hosting a sports party, then run your projector full-out and know that this screen will only be as bright as the projector can push it. Here are some images I captured during the review: Conclusion This is a great product. It's impossible to fault it due to its low price and the fact that Elite Screens has so many more options to choose from should you require more features. For example, if you like the idea of lifting the screen up without the need for an adjustable height pole, then the ez-Cinema Plus' integrated "scissors-lift" system is for you at just a tad bit more. My only request would be that Elite Screens would add additional screen material options to these products. I would love to see a 1.3 or 1.4-gain screen in this model line-up, especially for a likely target market of consumers who may not have as much flexibility in reducing light in their viewing rooms. Overall this is a MUST-have product for anyone who would like a portable screen that can be put up quickly - and put away when not in use. For the price, you simply can't beat it. www.elitescreens.com/reviews
Elite Screens F80NWH Projector Screen MSRP: $249 About Elite Screens Elite Screens Inc. is a California based company that specializes in making quality commercial and home-theater projection screens for the retail and custom install sales channels. Our company began as an innovative venture into the projection market by manufacturing veterans from the AV/IT industry. Elite Screens quickly established itself as an entry level commercial and home theater screen manufacturer. This was accomplished by making a quality product cost effective with a focus on mass-producing screen material, sizes and aspect ratios that were most commonly preferred by AV customers in general. We avoided custom made products in favor of uniformity that would match the mainstream demographic while including extra features that are not usually included by other manufacturers. We stand behind our customer satisfaction and are so confident in the quality of our product that we offer a 2-year manufacturer's warranty over the industry's standard 1-year warranty. The Score Card The scoring below is based on each piece of equipment doing the duty it is designed for. The numbers are weighed heavily with respect to the individual cost of each unit, thus giving a rating roughly equal to: Performance — Price Factor/Value = Rating Audioholics.com note: The ratings indicated below are based on subjective listening and objective testing of the product in question.
