You are ready to buy a projection screen, but don’t know which one to pick among the different types offered by the store. Here are some ideas to narrow your choice down. Step 1: What type of screen do you want? ___ - Fixed frame screen. Installed in one fixed location. Ready to use anytime. ___ - Motorized Screen. Installed in one fixed location. Press remote to use screen. ___ - Manual pull down Screen. Installed in one fixed location. Pull down screen to use. ___ - Pull-up Screen. Can also be carried around Step 2 : What type of AV format do you want? ___ - 1:1 ___ - 4:3 like tv and pc monitors ___ - 16:9 like movie screens Step 3: What color screen do you want? ___ - White ___ - Gray. White Screen vs. Gray Screen debate. It is said that Gray projection screens absorb ambient light better. There is greater contrast because black colors seem blacker. White projection screens are perfect to use for those with the newer, higher contrast models of projectors. See also fabrics in step 4, that already come in gray or white. Step 4 : What Fabric do you Want? Choose the Fabric of your Projection Screen. Note that the Gain is the brightness from the middle of the screen. A gain of 1.0 means the amount of light that is projected on the screen returns to the viewer at the same brightness: none is absorbed and all is re-radiated with perfect uniformity from all viewing angles. Glass Beaded. High brightness, gain of more than 2.9, effective scattering angle more than 32, high contrast and resolution, fine color rendition, excellent vision. Reflective beads are air-isolated and durably attached to screen surface. Screen surface is flat; prevents mildew, moisture and odor. Fire-proof. Brightness does not decrease over time. Pearlux Fabric. High brightness, gain of more than 1.4, effective scattering angle more than 100, high contrast and resolution, fine color rendition, good vision in bright circumstances. Stable physical parameter and less attenuation. Flat and odor-free. Grey Glass Beaded. High brightness, gain of more than 2.8, effective scattering angle more than 32, high contrast and resolution, fine color rendition, excellent vision. Best choice for home theaters. Fabric increases saturation of black and gray colors, improves contrast. Reflective beads are air-isolated and durably attached to screen surface. Screen surface is flat; prevents mildew, moisture and odor. Fire-proof. Brightness does not decrease over time. Matt White. Diffusion screen surface, with effective scattering angle more than 160 degrees, high brightness coefficient (more than 0.92), anti-glare, fine color rendition, wide viewing angle, soft light. No visual fatigue after long viewing. Stable physical parameter, less attenuation. Grey Matt White Diffusion screen surface, with effective scattering angle more than 160 degrees, high brightness coefficient (more than 0.85), anti-glare, fine color rendition, wide viewing angle, soft light. No visual fatigue after long viewing. Stable physical parameter, less attenuation. Odorless Grey Vinyle PVC screen surface, with effective scattering angle more than 160 degrees, high brightness coefficient (more than 0.82), high contrast, wide viewing angle, soft light. No visual fatigue after long viewing. Stable physical parameter, less attenuation, flat and free of smell. Odorless. White Vinyle PVC screen surface, with effective scattering angle more than 160 degrees, high brightness coefficient (more than 0.90), fine color rendition, high contrast, wide viewing angle, soft light. No visual fatigue after long viewing. Stable physical parameter, less attenuation, flat and free of smell. Odorless. See table below for more information: Step 5 : What screen size do you want? How to choose the screen size for you: The Diagonal Size is the distance from a lower corner of the screen, diagonally across to the other side upper corner. Diagonal sizes are always given with the specifications. The suitable watching distance is equal to the diagonal of the screen. -The recommended width of screen : If you want a 4:3 format, width is Diagonal times .80 (W = Diagonal x .80) If you want a 16:9 format, width is Diagonal times .82 (W = Diagonal x .82) -The recommended height of the screen : If you want a 4:3 format, width is Diagonal times .60 (W = Diagonal x .60) If you want a 16:9 format, width is Diagonal times .49 (W = Diagonal x .49) -Note the space margin needed by the screen when it will be installed. The recommended space from the ground to the bottom of the screen 0.7 to 1.25 meters. For example, you are thinking of buying a 100 electric screen with 4:3 format 1.The screen size is Diagonal = 100 WidthW = Diagonal x .80 W = 100 x .80 W = 80 in Height H = Diagonal x .6 H = 100 x .6 H = 60 in The screen size is 80 in x 60 in 2.And the space needed for your screen is Width is greater than 80 inches †80 inches plus allowance at the sides Height should be greater 60 inches †60 inches plus space from the floor. Thinking about these factors ahead of time will narrow your choices to the projection screen that is perfect for your needs and use.
