AWOL VISION 120" Motorized Rising Matte White Projector Screen for Long Short Ultra Short Throw Projector, Floor Stand Indoor Outdoor Theater Screen, 170°+ Viewable 4K/8K Ultra HD MW-F220

This a premium screen, and has an excellent weighty build to it. It comes shipped in a sturdy box, with plenty of high density foam to protect it. In use it takes around 10 seconds to rise and retract. And using the remote, you can easily program the exact height which suits your room the best. There is also a usb adaptor, which is pre-paired with the projector. Just plug this adaptor into your projector, and when your projector powers on it will automatically raise the screen. Neat. It is a huge screen and is long, so measure your space where it is going before purchase. The picture showing the extension lead, gives you an idea of it's size. In use it smoothly and quietly glides up and down to its set position. At the back are very strong folding mechanisms, which keep the screen nice and stable. And the tension wires on the side, do a great job of keeping the screen perfectly flat when extended. in terms of performance, I tested it with an older but good Benq 1080p projector. This normally beams onto a white wall. The video I have done shows the picture on the wall, and then with the screen. Harder to tell with the video, but there is some gain in brightness, and definite gain in colour and image quality. And this is from a 1080p projector. So the difference would be even greater with a 4k projector. Overall, it is definitely a nicer watch using this projector screen. the screen doesn't have any audio pass through section, so any speakers are best used to the side or front of the projector. With my soundbar behind it, you could tell the sound was slightly muffled with the screen up. This screen would be ideal in areas where you don't want a screen to be up permanently, and want to use the space for other uses. In use it is simple to use, especially with the usb adaptor and picture quality is amazing. Just need to treat myself to a 4k projector now, to really show it off!

Only now I understand why more families give up tv and I stead invest into projectors and projector screens. I have a few friends who use projectors just on a plain wall or on some sort of screen material to watch movies, and I never really was impressed and felt that tv provided much better experience. Well I have now changed my mind 100%! When the screen is delivered it is a bit heavy and quite long. So be ready and have a person who is able to take in such an item inside of your property. Once unpacked, it is very straightforward and easy to connect cable to the screen and then plug into the socket. With a press on control the screen is unfolded. It takes seconds. There is a dongle that can be connected/ inserted into your projector and once you turn on projector it will activate the screen equipment. I am not sure though if it works will all projectors or if you need to use the same brand projector. Now I do not own a fancy projector and instead purchased one of the cheapest on the market, and yet I still had a much better experience ce of watching movie than I would usually have doing so on tv. This screen is for dark rooms and the best quality pictures will be in a dark room. I am "lucky" to have a very dark sitting room with a tiny window that provides very little light so I am able to use this credentials successfully at any time of the day and enjoy great quality of the picture. I am must say I have little knowledge of projectors and screens and tech all together and my opinion is based purely on my experience on how easy it is to set it up and use, as well as on the quality of picture while using this screen. I am satisfied with it 100%. It is not a cheap screen, but then if you want to enjoy quality you need to invest a bit. I will be saving now for a quality short throw projector so I can enjoy my movie nights even more.

At 236cm long it's a very big piece of kit. Pretty quiet. A lovely matt white screen measuring 223 x 162cm. Operated by cantilevered joists at the back, it's a very solid item. The remote is designed to be wall mounted, though I think it would be best to use a learning remote and add the codes to a macro when you want to use this. Why did I mark this down 1 star? I struggled with the remote for a while trying to work out how to open it without breaking it, and then when I did I saw the U2 button though I couldn't find in the manual what it's for. I assumed it's part of the USB set up, though I can't confirm that. The USB dongle still remains a mystery. I've searched everywhere, inside and out and can find no socket for it to plug into. And lastly, I wish the power lead had been pointing towards the rear of the unit, it just seems bad design to have it coming forward.

This is the first proper projector screen that we have had and I was keen to see how it would compare to our TV. You need a fairly dark room but even with the curtains open the picture quality was really good in our sitting room as we don't get any direct sun really. It's easily as good as our TV which is about 6 years old and was probably due for replacement soon as bits of the screen have got damaged. I don't think I will bother now. We only have a fairly average projector that we had previously just pointed at a white wall so I am told that with a better one it would give an exceptional result. Instead of a TV I'll upgrade the projector eventually. This is a really large projector screen and it takes two people to handle it really to get it unpacked and set up into place as it's quite cumbersome and heavy. When in place though it's a doddle to operate as it connected easily to our projector and goes up and down smoothly and fairly quickly. I thought it might be a bit wobbly when its up due to the size but it seems to be remarkably stable, probably because it's quite a weighty item. I'm not a technical whizz by any stretch of the imagination but this was really quite simple to work out, the biggest issue we had was creating a big enough space but it was high time for a de-clutter anyway.

Best purchase I've made in a while

This is beast amongst all projector screens I ever had in my entire life. This exact model is fully motorised to surprisingly save space and not to bring extra attention when not used. Being over 2.5 metre long it is big screen and offers up to 100” of usable area when fully opened. This is perfect solution for pubs, club or workplace, when folded, cannot be damaged and used only when playing football match, tutorial videos, or simply to create your living room into cinema whenever you need and want. It comes with its own remote control and USB stick for control directly from projector itself. Whole idea with this memory stick is that you plug it to your projector, whenever projector will be turned ON, projector screen with turn ON as well and it will rise without touching remote or screen. This way we talking about complete autonomous system which is very easy to use. Projector screen has very industrial look outside, raw housing but definitely functional, it rise up very quickly, motors are good quality and quiet as well. I had few projector screens and this so far has best surface, matte white definitely works better than others gloss like ones. I have long throw projector and had no issue with viewing angle. Truly astonishing projector screen for near cinema experience in your own house.

Makes no difference to long throw vision dlp

Well this is a very interesting item. For years I've used my projector with a plain, magnolia wall. I've had a couple of manual screens but they're always a pain to assemble, not really portable and generally look no better than the wall. First impressions about this are, it's HUGE! It arrived in a 7ft+ box (check the listing for exact measurements) which weighs an absolute ton. Took some effort to get it through the door, never mind put into position, so be warned on this. It comes fully assembled hence the size, but was very well packaged. Once out of the box it was really easy to plug and play. Contents are basic as you'd expect - the unit, remote and batteries, power cable and a fitting you can plug into your projector so that you can synchronise projector and screen and switch them both on at the same time. Now comes the WOW factor. After the very quick and easy setup you push the button and the huge screen rises up from the ground like a wall of white. Just that action alone looks awesome (before you've even started projecting!) and makes me think this would be an amazing professional touch to anyone's cinema room. I even think due to the size this would be good for smaller, commercial or semi-professional settings. The screen itself seems very high quality and has a kind of collapsible brace on the back which allows it to rise out of the ground as if by magic. Usefully you don't have to raise it fully and can set it to rise to the same point every time if required. So far, so great. Now onto downsides, if there are any. With an item like this you really need to consider your situation. Mainly will this fit in your room and is the height of the screen suitable. It was a bit of a squeeze for me but I got it into position on my usual projecting wall. Once position it's probably an ordeal to move it around though. Now this screen is pretty tall but as it rises from the floor is only goes up so high. I like to project the image quite high up on the wall (like a proper cinema rather than a big TV) and unfortunately this is about 2 feet lower than it needs to be for me. I did a lot of research around raising the item up higher. This isn't easy due to the weight but apparently it only needs to be supported at each end (it has adjustable 'feet' which slide onto a rail on the underside). I was warned it could fall over if not properly supported but you can use common sense. I've used the box to prop it so far but will come up with something better and taller soon. Now importantly the image - is it any better than a wall? The answer is 'I think so'. I tried to do a comparison which was like one of those sight tests, but the image does indeed appear sharper and clearer with the screen. Is it noticeably loads better? I'm not sure on that as I was always happy before but maybe other people would notice the difference. Finally all important - the price - is it worth it? For wow factor and build quality I'd say yes, but it is very expensive. If you have that much to spend on a screen then I'd say this is as good as any other but if you haven't got that kind of money probably a cheaper one would do jut as well without the excitement of electronic, self rising. Over all I am impressed though and would recommend.
