Elite Screens Sable Frame, 180-inch 16:9, Fixed Frame Home Theater Projection Projector Screen, ER180WH1

150" 3D material... returned (for a reason)1st off, the screen color and brightness are awesome.. the ambient light rejection works as described for the most part.. construction/assembly is a fingertip damaging nightmare>definitely should be some type of "tab instal tool" developed.. my fingertips were numb/sprained for a week after assembly... lol.. smh..Instruction say there should be "2" support bars for anything over 135" but mine only had 1.. I assembled anyway and found that the right side bowed out from the wall - easy fix with a small bungie stapled to the wall and hooked to the frame..Another issue was that this material may be ambient light rejection but there is no "backing material" so after installing in front a of a window the picture would be washed out all day long until the sun dropped due to HEAVY rear light penetration.. again another fix I dealt with, purchased $80 worth of black vinyl to completely black out the back side.. unacceptable, should have been noted, maybe it was and I just didn't see it.. in any case I paid because I was excited about this screen getting completed..Now assembled and installed with bonus bungie and black out material..Here's the issue:I'm sitting 12-13' front of screen and the hot spot isn't a spot it's a full height section from any seat.. sitting left side=bright and fades right, sitting right side=bright and fades left, sitting center, you guessed it fades left and right...I found that only standing 15-17' back and further allowed complete color and brightness uniformity and boy did it look good from my back porch LOL... unfortunately I won't be sitting out there on movie night...Before I returned it today I tried different projector positions and brightness levels ALL MONTH: bright, sum, eco, normal, position: high, low, back, no help.. I even shrank the projected image down between 80" and 120" and still had hot spots and faded brightness to angles.. I gave it the full 29days of adjustment and viewing sources and just couldn't do.. price is on point but I just know that no matter what I'm watching I'm gonna be thinking about the color/brightness fading at angles.. so I had to return it.. which really sucks because I was so excited about this product after so video reviews I've watched and compared prices I've seen...Guess I'll will be now looking into the HIGH END products offered by SI BLACK DIAMOND products, see what the big deal is...guess i better start working some overtime $$$$$$EDIT:After looking into "SI BLACK DIAMOND", im not sure the view angle is gonna work either at somwhere around 60 degrees left/right. But i will have them come out and consult ASAP..I have also just yesterday (easter) emailed EPV for information regarding their DARK STAR 9 screen which i believe has 180 degree viewing angle..!waiting for them to reply with prices and availability..

I want to be clear my review is for the:Elite Screens Sable Frame, 100-inch 16:9, Sound Transparent Fixed Frame Projection Projector Screen, ER100WH1-A1080P3. For some reason they lump all of these screen models together, making it confusing.My setup required I install in-wall speakers for my Front L & Front R if I wanted to use a projector. So I did a lot of research on audio-transparent screens & settled on this one. I have not been disappointed. The sound comes through the screen and I can't notice any distortion.First off, assembling & mounting this was easier than I expected. They have a video you can watch and I'd recommend it. Not because this is difficult to assemble, but it gives you an idea of what you're up against.The frame is velvet (to help with glare), so make sure to assemble this on a clean floor, fresh sheets, etc. Also, if you have pets or small children, lock them out of the room! Follow the instructions and you'll have it ready for mounting in 15-30mns.When installing the wall brackets, I'd recommend using a stud finder to locate your studs. Level it off once you have your desired height. Then install 1 screw in a stud and for the other use the provided wall anchors (2 screws per bracket). Repeat with the other brackets. Then you're done. You don't need to install a bracket on the actual frame. It has grooves built into the frame, so all you need to do is get it on the wall brackets and then you can easily slide it to the desired location if you're not perfectly centered. I was able to mount my 100" screen by myself the first try as it's not that heavy (they recommend using 2 people). The bottom of my frame is exactly at 26" from the floor and it seems to work for us.*If you purchase an audio-transparent screen, they give you an additional black backing for your screen. The instructions for installing this was worded funny, but I easily figured it out.Pros:Price.The quality of the picture (you'd never know it is audio-transparent screen).Easy to assemble.Easy to mount.Easy to slide screen once mounted.They provide a screwdriver.They provide sheetrock wall anchors.Weight of the finished product.Quality.It came well packaged.Cons:Some issues I had were they didn't provide enough screen clips for each red mark on the frame. I was shorted 7 clips (I provided a picture when I ran out). So I spaced then out a bit & it hasn't been an issue.Also, one screw out of the roughly 20 provided would not thread into a corner bracket. I used to build high-end homes & know what I'm doing, so this was truly a defective piece.*Even with these 2 minor issues, I'm still giving it 5-star.

Once recovered from the USPS shipping fiasco (shipping box opened and damaged), the screen came complete with all parts. It was a cinch to assemble, much nicer in quality and effort than my outgoing white screen (see picture, both 120-inch screens). The mounting drywall anchors could have been of slightly better quality but you can upgrade those at Lowe's. The screen tensioning springs fit into metal grommet holes in the screen material for an easy tensioning of the screen, much better than my old FAVI screen. The kit even came with white gloves to handle the screen! I have total light control in my home theater but due to the ceiling and right wall being within inches of the screen, the images were reflecting from the white Matte screen back onto those adjacent walls and then reflecting back to the screen, lowering the contrast. This Cinegrey3D material is fantastic- my room reflections are near zero, and the contrast is up (was already good with my Epson 5030UB projector). The blacks are now so black that I cannot see the shadow of my hand in letterboxing. This is a fantastic deal- $500 for a 120" screen that improved an already good image to fantastic. I can also leave some room ceiling lights on and still see a great image. Don't hesitate

Got this as an upgrade to a regular 100" screen. I wan't a theater like environment with the sound actually coming from the center of the screen, not above or below. So I figured I mine as well go big. I watch TV content and video games more than have the time, so 16:9 was good for me. I use it with an Epson 5040ub and honestly I don't notice the bars when watching a movie, the room is dark and lens memory works great on the 5040ub. The screen may dampen the sound a hair, but after running audyssey xt32 on my Denon I can't hear a difference. I've got my LCR and 2 front height channels all behind the screen with a 15" sub. It's a much cleaner looking setup than having speakers beside the screen and trying to get a center channel under it, it also sounds great having the voices on the screen actually coming from the images on the screen. LOVE IT. I sit about 12 to 14 feet from the screen and its perfect at 150" for me. May be a little large for some, but gaming on this is addictive. Makes a 60" TV feel cramped.
