Can this projector be used on a white wall or does it need a special screen/surface?

I have used on both and both work great! Of course, a dedicated screen and a dark environment bring out the best results.

I use it on a white wall. Works great. We did refinish the wall to remove texture, but no other special treatment.

I use it on a white wall, the 3D effect looks great.....I would make sure it's as smooth and if possible bright (reflective) white wall as possible....

can be used on white wall, but looks amazing on screen.. we built screen by ourselves (google: projector screens under $100).. This is a very good projector, 3D, and regular movies etc work just great. the wireless HDMI is a big plus! Good luck! - Nilesh

It can be used on a white wall, but a screen will greatly improve it. It can help out colors/brightness and also give it a perfectly flat surface to display.

It can be used either way. A lot of people just use the wall but buy a certain shade of white paint. If you want the best picture use a screen or that certain shade of paint. Enjoy your projecter the Epson 3020 is a fantastic projector.

I bought a screen along with the projector but prepared a matted white painted wall as back up. The screen was too short so I resulted to the wall, it was a wonderful decision. I have been using the wall. Just make sure the wall is painted plain white and not glossy, the projector works on it even with the blinds open. Great choice!

I purchased this projector to make presentations at different locations so I do not use a screen just a wall. Sorry I could not be more helpful

I use a laptop and a projector and a smartboard. I am very happy with it. You do not need a smartboard, any screen or even wall will work.

This is a great screen. I use it strictly for outdoors due to it capabilities to do rear projection. It also can do front projection. What kind of projector does he have? LCD OR DLP? Lumens dictate the brightness of the projector. The brighter the better i say... but regardless of the projector it is a good screen for indoor and outdoor. I believe this same company makes a square one now that looks really good... lwt mw know if you have any other questions

I have a solid white wall, but people have stated that silver screens work best. The farther back you are then the blurrier the picture, and the closer you are the sharper the image. The audio is extremely loud keep in mind that this to overcome the sound of the fan motor which is LOUD. Look, I am not going to lie to you this thing is not really great for anything but watching porn. The picture quality is too poor for enjoying real movies. This thing would be awesome if the company invested in higher quality parts.

I've been using in meeting rooms, suitable for work, classrooms and with friends, no matter if it wall, whiteboard or screen. The far most I used was about 4 mts away, and a screen of 1.5 mts x 1.5 mts. Excelent picture for a portable projector.

That's what I bought it for, this is my third projector. A couple things to think about. -Should consider using a sound system the project isn't designed for sound. -I bought screen material and made a frame out of 1x3's. Just switched to Gray screen which helps with ambient light.-Room need to have light controlled somewhat, we have a daylight basement.-Its a projection, so it look more like a movie theater then the hi-gloss HDTV's now out.-Run it in econo mode, I put it in regular mode for 3D and special programs, it really extends the life of the bulb.

It would be a bit of a challenge, but it can be done. I can project an 8' wide by 6' tall image. The room would need to be quite dark with no outside light contamination. As the distance from the wall increases the image intensity and fine detail decreases.

Will it work? Yes. Will it work well? Ehh...It's a single layer of white cloth. The black shows through a little bit and comes out a tad grey overall.It you're trying to find a cheap, collapsible projector screen I'd recommend the white side of a reflector that includes white. It'll be a truer and less sheer white for you, giving you a brighter picture.Also keep in mind that it is an oval so your corners are cut down and actual usable screen size will be more like 4.25x6 feet

No, it's just an inflatable screen not a projector. You'll need to have you own projector or buy one fo the screen to be of any practical use.

It works with both aspect. I actually removed the screen and now project on to the wall and I get a better picture. This projector don't really need the screen.

I use my projector in colleges and almost all of the rooms have their own screens. For the ones that don't I just use a white wall. The bulb in the projector is bright enough to utilize a light colored wall. I believe any screen will work for you

Probably not. The glossy surface of the screen would make the projection look bad. Kinda like photographing something glossy with a flash.

It is my opinion, that while it could be used as a wall mount it most definitely would not be the preferred way to use it. There is some play in the way that the bracket hangs from the top ceiling mount (it's just slotted and no matter how tight those three top bolts are it still has play) When hanging form the ceiling this doesn't have any effect on the projector but I am afraid that might not be the case when using it from the wall. That is not to say that someone couldn't make it work if you're pretty handy in that way.

I didn't use the product I bought. It is literally a "cloth" product and my HD projector looks good enough on a painted wall so I didn't want to deal with putting up and anchoring a big cloth product. I have a 120" screen projected on the wall.

I believe there is a special stand you can get for this that will project on a wall. I have the stand that only projects downwards on to a canvas, for example.

I don't think it would work as a regular projector. I just tried the projection option and to get a real clear picture you have to be fairly close to wall which in turn makes the picture you are projecting small. It wouldn't project a big enough picture for a presentation.
