While it does cost money, this screen is 10x better than the $100 screens with no tension system or real frame. Worth every penny. I love that I can move it to a couple different rooms without a horrible amount of work.

Pros
-The frame is extremely well made and heavy duty. Yet since it's aluminum, it's light enough that 2 people can easily move it around.
-the tensioning system is awesome. Unpacked it, put it up and no wrinkles 3 hours later watching a movie. The fact that they ship the screen rolled as opposed to folded probably helps this too.
-The screen itself seems very strong and has great clarity. It'll magnify whatever projector quality you have, for me that's just 1080P. Looks like a HD TV.

Cons
-It's not as cheap as the $100 folded wrinkles garbage out there with no frame. Totally worth it though.

I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. What you're paying for is the frame quality, tensioning, and the screen. All very high quality.

I have been using a beige wall with slight texture for watching my Optoma HD-20 and now my Optoma HD25-LV projector. The bare wall was able to provide a very good picture for Blu-ray and 3D. But I kept reading how a good projection screen would give a much better picture because of the smooth surface and neutral color. I decided to go with a fixed screen because it gave me a better chance of no wrinkles and no motor to break. I decided on the Silver Ticket brand because of the reviews and ease of construction shown in the videos. The cost seemed very reasonable compared to other screens.

The screen arrived very soon after ordering. I think it was only three days. The packaging arrived in excellent shape, but it probably would not have mattered if there were dents in the outer box because it was double boxed. Everything was very well packaged.

I started assembly by vacuuming the carpet in the assembly areas as recommended, but I also laid down some extra sheets on the carpet. (I have two shedding dog!). I never did have an issue with the screen attracting hair or fuzz during the assembly or installation.

I laid out all the frame pieces and started assembling the top and bottom sections as instructed. I placed the listed number of plastic snap lugs and wall mounting brackets in the slots. Check the orientation of the wall mounting brackets. Two for the top and two for the bottom. They are different. Some videos recommend a portable drill for quick attachment of the parts but I found a regular Philips screw driver just as fast. Portable drills have a tendency to strip out screws. I then attached the sides after installing the listed amount of plastic snap lugs. I noticed a little jogging of the frame parts was required to fit the screws to the holes. Once all the frame pieces were in place I tightened everything down. I now had a very secure, stable frame.

Next, I rolled out the screen completely between the frame, front side (white) down, black side up. I then installed the six rods. The two longer rods go on the the vertical sides. They have a "bubble" on each end. The rods for the horizontal sides, two for the top and two for the bottom, have a "bubble" on one end only. The end without the 'bubble" go in the screen first. The rods took a little twisting and pushing the rod along to complete their installation. When completed there will be two rod 'bubbles" at each corner, none in the middle.

I then started pulling the rods over the plastic snap lugs. As instructed I started at the corners first. The first two corners went easy. The third corner took a little more strength as the screen started stretching. The last corner took the most strength but was not difficult. Now that all the corners were done, I just finished up by pulling the rods over the plastic snap lugs until all were completed. I did not require any additional tools to do this, but some hard but not impossible pulling was needed. I new this meant a nice smooth screen.

I lifted the screen up to check for alignment and everything looked smooth and solid. No further adjustment was required. To install the middle support I laid the screen back down and put one end of the middle support in the center of the bottom frame slot. The other end of the support I put down about a foot from the center of the top frame in the slot. This is because the screen stretching causes a slight bow in the center of the top and bottom frames. I undid two of the plastic snap lugs between the support bar and the center of the frame to put less tension on the frame. I then pulled slowly on the center support to get to the top frame center. I pulled a few times, took a break, and then pulled again. Slowly but surely I got the center support to the middle of both top and bottom frames. This was the most difficult part of the assembly. But patience results in a perfectly squared up screen. I then pulled the rod over the two plastic snap lugs I had unattached earlier.

To attach the screen to my wall I located studs that gave me the more than 48" but less then 80" requirement for the wall mounting brackets. I needed 14.5" distance between my ceiling and actual viewing part of the screen for my ceiling mounted projector. The screen frame is 2.5 ". The supplied wall mounting bracket holes are down .75". So 14.5" - 2.5 + .75" = 12.75". The important part was considering the dimensions of the screen frame and knowing the wall hanger holes are down .75" from the top of the screen. So I drilled four holes. The top two holes were both down 12.75" from the ceiling and 63.875" apart because of stud location. The bottom two holes were 61.375" perpendicular from the top two holes. This measurement was found by measuring the distance between the top and bottom wall mounting bracket holes on the screen. I installed the four supplied wall screws. After sliding the wall hangers to match the wall screw measurements, two of us were able to set the screen on the wall screws and set it in place.

The Silver Ticket Screen is a vast improvement over the bare wall. Colors appear more vivid, more detail is visible, the the overall picture is brighter. Having a frame gives the picture a more movie-like appearance. The screen itself is totally uniform with no wrinkles or annoying inconsistencies that a bare wall might have. The price makes this screen quite a bargain.

We purchased this screen for a new movie room in our house. I vacillated between getting a larger-screen television or a screen with a projector. I ended up going the screen and projector route, and I am glad I did. I've been meaning to write this review for almost three years (we purchased this in 2020), and it's still going strong. It was easy to mount and put up, and has not had any problems with it in the last three years.

I originally purchased a 120 inch Elite Screen Used - Like New from Amazon and did not get it completely installed. It was missing parts, poorly packaged and the screen was wrinkled. I can't blame Elite Screens for that, Amazon just didn't do a very good job of inspecting it before sending it to me. The Elite screen had a wider black felt border than the Silver Ticket screen, but the felt was about the same quality on both. I had to send the Elite Screens back, but compared the screen to a Silver Ticket sample I had and it was near identical. The only reason I went with the Silver Ticket as my second purchase as I did not want to chance another 'used' screen from amazon and it was $15 cheaper than the new Elite Screens. I cannot compare the packaging on the Elite Screens as everything came thrown in the box. There were no other boxes inside the big box so everything was just wrapped in plastic and stuck in there. It's possible the previous owner did not send back all of the packaging material. The Silver Ticket screen on the other hand was very well packaged. Each pair of the black border pieces were in their own box and wrapped in plastic. The screen was well wrapped around a thick cardboard tube and all of the extra parts were in bags. The rest of my review will be about the Silver Ticket screen:

Build Quality:

Overall I felt the build quality was top notch. The pieces all connected well and all of the holes were drilled correctly. The seam between the 2 pieces that make up the top bar and the 2 pieces of the bottom bar is invisible once it's connected. The screen material was thick and seemed pretty durable. The only point I would knock off of the product would be on the rods you slide through the outside of the screen. They split the 2 longer rods in half to fit in the box, but they do not have the little plastic stopper on the end to help them slide through the screen easier. They would be better off making 4 smaller sticks instead of cutting 2 in half.

Ease of install:

Overall this was pretty to install. I put the wall mounts on the top bar (by itself) and hung it on the wall. I then drilled the holes and set up the screws on the wall. After that I took it back down, assembled the 4 sides and rehung it. While it was up, I marked where the bottom holes needed to be and then took the screen frame back down. This made it easier to drill holes and line the holes up once the screen was attached. You will need 2 people to hang the fully assembled frame and then again to hang it when the screen is attached. If Silver ticket were to make a change, I think it would be easier if they used brackets on the walls that the screen could just hook on to. Once you put it up, it's not easy to move it side to side or adjust it. I read some reviews that the clips were hard to attach the screen to, but I didn't find them too difficult. The center bar was a bit difficult to put in place though, so I had to move it about an inch at a time until it was in place.

Visual:

I had a 100 inch motorized screen that came with Epson 3010 projector years ago. The screen on this one was fine, but the edges were starting to fold in a little and when I bought the Benq HT8050, I could see pixels on the screen. I think this had to do with the screen having small imprinted dots on it that were not visible at distance on lower resolutions. This screen is night and day better than my older one. While I was installing it, I ran strip lighting around the inside so I could set a glow behind it if I wanted to. The detail on 4k videoes/images pop with this new screen, where they felt kind of dull on my other one. This projector does not have much light bleed so I don't necessarily need the felt borders, but they give it a very professional look. I did not expect 120 inches to look much bigger than 120 inches, but it was a huge change.

Notes:

I read a lot of reviews between this screen and the Elite Screens. I did not personally see a big different in the screen colors and look, so my opinion is they were very similar. The clips were easy to connect the screen to the border for the Silver Ticket screen, I am not sure how difficult the springs on the Elite screen would have been. I would defiantly recommend this screen over the motorized screen I had before. This screen does smell like a pool float, hopefully that smell goes away.
