Exactly what we've been looking for
We've had this for a few months now and LOVE IT. We've purchased a couple different screens from other sellers and returned them because they were cheap and terrible quality (dents, scratches, no quality control). This one, this one is at a great price and is the best screen we've seen at this price point. Great quality, the screen itself looks fantastic. The tensions make sure the screen is pulled tight so there are NO ripples. The automatic rolling up and down mechanism works wonderfully and isnt very loud (like some other brands). You can also adjust how far you want the screen to drop down to if you need it custom set. There was a small black plastic piece that broke off, not sure what it goes to, but it doesn't seem to affect the screen or the power mechanism at all. No idea what thats about but everything works like it should.Quite honestly, I wish we would have purchased this sooner and not have had to hassle with the other companies screens.

Great screen, price is too good to pass up
This is my first home theater setup, so I can't compare it to other screens. But, so far I'm very impressed!I was worried about buying from an unknown company, I knew I could always return it, but it's a BIG item and wouldbe difficult to ship back for sure. So far, however, I have been very impressed with this purchase.The item arrived quickly, and was packaged well in a long box with bubble wrap hoops in strategic spots along the screento prevent crushing. Good packaging is important, and is a good sign that a company at least considers their productgood enough to protect during shipping. (how many 'foreign' products have you purchased that arrived in a simple bag.. exactly)The build quality of the screen housing is perfectly fine, no obvious manufacturing defects, and their company name is nicelyaffixed while not being too gauche.I used 'S' hooks to hang it from the ceiling at 7'8", and the control box wiring was long enough to mount to the walland the cord had enough length to use plastic wire hiding channels to hide the wire along the wall to a nearby outlet.If you have a longer run, it might not reach - a ceiling or wall outlet would be ideal.The manual itself is a sparse 1 page affair, but conveys enough information to operate the screen tho it does notmention how to adjust the tension, but I could probably figure it out. It does show you how to set the up and down stopsso the screen will return to the same position with each operation.The screen itself is a uniform white, and is perfectly flat. The black edges do look "curled" slightly, but I supposethe tension cords can be adjusted to eliminate? I don't know for sure, but either way, it does not affect the viewingportion of the screen which is flat. If I had a concern, it would be how long the screen will actually remain flat andif the tension system will hold up.The remote is RF (from what I can tell) so it can't be programmed into my Harmony setup, but that's not a huge deal.Overall, the screen shows a great picture, no distortions that I can see. I'm really happy with it, and for the price,it really is a great screen. I would buy again, heck, you can get 4 of them for the price of some of the others out there.For reference, I'm using this with an Epson HC 2150 projector in a semi-light controlled room (blackout curtains).Pros:Quality constructionUniform screenMotorized with remoteTab-tensioned so it should stay flatCons:Control box electronics seem iffy, loud relay. Probably the failure point. Screams "Chinese" quality.No Infrared remote capabilityBottom line:I had no experience with home projector gear, that coupled with my innate cheapness led me to this screen. If you're on abudget and just getting your feet wet, this is the screen for you. My only concern is how long it will last, butfor the price - you can just buy another one down the road.

Highly Recommended
So glad I went with this "budget" tab-tensioned screen over the $700+ Silver Screen one of the same size. I'm using a short-throw projector (BenQ) and the screen is beautiful. Absolutely no ripples/waves and quite simply flat as a pancake. The screen is up/down in a few seconds though I have not been able to customize the exact place I need it to stop. I think the Silver Screen has that feature..

Works well so far.
So far this screen has been great for our new projector. We’ve had it for about a month but haven’t used it a lot yet. The auto up and down function works great. The screen did come with a very strong smell that wore off after a week or so.

Awesome
Screen worked prefect for a living room. 120 inch did the job and it didn't have wrinkles like the homegear screen we bought. We did have to fab our own L-shaped brackets because we didn't want to hang the screen with chains from the ceiling. It wouldn't have looked as good.

Did not work
Look promising in the beginning, but did not work. I was able to drop it down, but it never rolled back up. Had to manually put it together and returned to seller.Other concerns: cheap plastic, huge heavy power adapter that I would have to hide somehow.
