of projection screen that would be the most suitable in matching the quality-to-cost ratio with your projector. Fortunately for the frugal
consumer, recent advances in the projection industry have resulted in high quality projectors flooding the market at highly competitive
pricing.

projection surface and do not include costlier extra features used in the electric screens.

over the retractable projection surfaces. Our diagonal sizes range from 84" to 200" for the same larger than life experience you would
