For rear projection purposes, how does the screen compare with the DIY screen material sold by companies like ProScreens?

I have a rear projection projector and I love this screen. Before I bought this screen I had a home made screen of white sheets and 2X4 lumber, it did the job, but it was bulky and got dirty easily. This screen is very light, was easily mounted on our ceiling so that I could drop it down when ever I need it and the quality of the picture is great. I have not used it outside yet but I do not see why it should be a problem. I have also not used it with a front projection projector, but again I think it would work fine. It took two people to assemble it because the screen stretches so tight so it might be a problem if you had to take it down all the time. I am very pleased with the quality, performance and appearance of this screen.

I don't know how dense you need a projection screen to be, this material does not look metallic at all; instead it appears to have a plastic sheen over the top.

I would say no, except the screen is used for projecting movies or television. Without a projector what will you project that requires a screen?

The material you choose depends on what you plan on using it for. This material costs more than the Flexiwhite and is a fairly stiff material (i.e. you don't stretch it and therefore more difficult to work with if you want to mount it somewhere). In terms of gain, it is only marginally better than Flexiwhite and, if this is damaged during shipping or use, there is no way to repair it. If I had my installation to do over again, I would have gone with the Flexiwhite. This material is really geared for professional installations. Projector setups work best with very low ambient light. The BenQ W1070 is a very nice projector - I'm using it in my setup with the ProWhite - but it still performs the best in a very dark room.

It is a great product. How well the movie plays on it is determined by the projector you choose. I am using a " ViewSonic PJD5134 SVGA DLP Projectorwith 3D Blu-Ray Ready, Integrated Speaker and Dynamic ECO", I purchased on Amazon and the quality is crystal clear. We have watched children's shows to action packed movies and are amazed at how great it is. So, yes the screen is great but your viewing quality is determined by your projector and speakers.

Unfortunately not. I was looking at rear projection at first, but there is unfortunately no rear-projection options at this price point. Although, you could replace the screen with a rear screen option but you would need to supply it.

Yes this projector and many other projectors can be used for rear projection. I would suggest DA-Lite rear projection screens. I hope this answers your question, Ben M.

Yes, the screen has a detachable black background that rolls up and out of the way. You can then project from behind the screen. See the video at this link: http://www.campchef.com/portable-screens/outdoor-big-screen-144.html

We use it for our outdoor movie nights. It's great! Use rear projection and that helps a lot.

I have mine set for 10 feet away to project about a 45 inch screen. I bought a pull-down blind at Home depot for $50 that covers 7 feet by 5. Much cheaper than a projection screen.

That picture is of the back side. The screen looks like any normal screen, glossy and glass-like. I have purchased x2 now and they work great.

The glossy side should face your projector. The mat finish helps imitate glare and proves the width of the viewing angle for those seeing the image from the front side.

Not sure I understand the question. The screen looks like any other I have used. The material around the screen is shiny but the screen itself is matte.....

The short answer is yes. There is a setting on the projector for rear projection. However, there are plenty of other factors to consider. Ambient light, distance to the screen, screen material, etc.

Yes, this model has the anti-glare screen to enhance the display quality in brightly lit areas. On the other hand, if you are looking for a privacy screen to prevent others from looking over your shoulder, that's an accessory item.

Can I use this by itself instead of an overhead projector? If it takes pix, then how does it project it to screen?
